Stretching Ears: Acrylic vs Steel?

Should I stick with the all steel kit over the acrylic tapers and steel plugs? or would the acrylic be ok? I keep hearing that steel is the best and acrylic can cause problems. I just want to do it correctly and take my time with it, no rushing.thanks

Answer:

It depends on your body and what you prefer. If you body is allergic to one of them you would have to chose for another one. If it's not allergic to any, than you can use whatever you like the most, just try both.
I haven't heard anyone complain about using acrylic so I don't see why it would be a problem. Either would be fine. I prefer acrylic myself but it really doesn't matter.
Steel is much better because acrylic can't be sterilized. If you have the option, titanium is much better because steel can cause nickle allergies, which can get pretty irritating.
