If this goes into production, I will definitely bet getting them, if not, I'll have to make them myself. Awesome! Thank you for designing with my future in mind.

Im sure Designaffairs could have put the device in any sized object that fit in your ear just like anyone else does. The fact of the matter here is they decided to try something different to appeal to a common market that may not be like the one you are used to. Body modification is a big thing and is growing rapidly and moving throughout cliques of all society. Body mods are not just for fans of alternative music, more and more people are getting modified and body modification traces back very far into history. For those of you who think this is disgusting what about tattoos? that is a body modification or lets hit on a much more dangerous body modification that most people overlook and that a lot of people do. TANNING. Tanning is indeed a body modification in its simplest form. Stretching out your earlobes is less dangerous than setting yourself up for sun poisoning, or frying your skin laying in a tanning bed. The bottom line is here is that Designaffairs took a chance to make something different. They released a product that would be beneficial to help someone/anyone. They are not asking you to stretch your ears and I am not sure if they make smaller gauge plugs for this product or not, but what they are doing is offering a product. You don't have to like every product out there. If you are an adult male you wouldn't buy a g-string that meant for a teenage female would you? If a products use does not apply to you, should you really care? I urge everyone who thinks this product is disgusting and stupid and people who think nobody will use this to simply go outside, go to your local mall, or any place that younger generations gather and take a look at the people you see around you. Look at the future of our culture and yes I agree that is a scary thought. But notice the trends and realize just because they are not right for you, does not mean they are wrong. We are simply human beings trying to make life work for other humans beings, why try to complicate that? Let us help each other out. If the idea does not apply to you, why do you feel the need to bash on it?
