We get a lot of questions about our Oval Ear Gauges, so we decided to take some time here to throw down a little information.
Q: What size oval ear gauges / plugs should I order?
A: The same size you normally wear your ear gauges!
Q: How are oval ear gauges measured?
A: Oval ear gauges 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 ear gauges feel different?
A: In general, no, it feels the same as wearing round plugs. At larger sizes, oval gauges may feel a bit different because of the different weight distribution and having your earlobes closer to your head.
Q: Can I wear normal ear gauges again after wearing oval gauges?
A: Absolutely! Wearing Oval shaped gauges will in no way change the shape of your ears.
