We get a lot of questions about our Oval Plugs, so we decided to take some time here to throw down a little information.
Q: What size oval plugs should I order?
A: The same size you normally wear your plugs!
Q: How are oval plugs measured?
A: Oval plugs are measured by circumference. This is why you'd order the same size of ovals that you normally wear in plugs, they'll be the same size around.
Q: How do I check the size of a pair of oval plugs?
A: To check the size of an oval plug, wrap a string around the wearing surface and mark where one end on the string meets the other. Then measure that segment of string and divide by pi- 3.14 to get the diameter. Diameter is the measurement you see used for round plugs.
Q: Does wearing oval plugs feel different?
A: In general, no, it feels the same as wearing round plugs. At larger sizes, oval plugs may feel a bit different because of the different weight distribution and having your earlobes closer to your head.
Q: Can I wear normal plugs again after wearing oval plugs?
A: Absolutely! Oval plug wear will in no way change the shape of your ears.

Check out the newest additions to our plug lines, designed &/or released in August.…
Each week the Omerica Organic Design Team works on a new wood plug style or two with the help of our Instagram, Facebook, andTumblr followers. We come up with up with an idea and create sketches, posting them each Tuesday for feedback from our fans. We then implement changes as needed and create prototype blocks of each plug style, complete with inlays and etched details that we post on social media on Wednesday. Thursday we finalize all the design details, launch the new style or styles to our website, and post finished photos on Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram. An entire design cycle in one week pulled off by a design team of two; it's incredibly fun, challenging and rewarding, and also integral in helping us keep up the flow of fresh wood plugs and unique body jewelry styles to our site.
The new plugs we launched in July are pictured above and listed/linked below and were inspired primarily by summertime, fan requests, and wonders visible in the sky and from it.

Over time and with exposure to moisture, the grain on wood jewelry can swell, causing a rougher surface than is ideal for wear.
The purpose of the kit is to lightly refinish wood plugs and jewelry periodically to keep them looking and feeling their best.
Our touch-up kit comes with a bottle of jojoba oil, and a handy dual-sided cloth roll that seals with a snap closure. We have them made locally, and are thrilled to say that the quality of the materials and workmanship far exceeded our expectations.
We recommend that first, you polish your plugs with the white microfiber side of the roll to remove any debris. Then with the grey mesh side sand the wearing surface, and if needed, the faces of your plugs until a smoother texture is achieved. Next use the white microfiber side again, this time with a drop of jojoba oil to polish and condition the wood.
This cloth roll is machine washable, after a few uses, throw your unrolled dual sided cloth in the washing machine on a cold setting, and then allow to air dry.
We suggest generally avoiding, but if absolutely necessary using extreme caution when using this kit on or around inlays or etched surfaces. Darker wood dust can get in the pores of a lighter wood inlay causing discoloration or staining. Lightly etched lines can be lightened or removed. Delicate design elements can be broken or damaged if too much pressure is applied.
You can find the kit on our site HERE and feel free to contact us with any questions about the kit at [email protected]
