plastic fantastic
Actually I think they are acrylic, but it's the same kinda stuff. You're wondering what I'm wittering about aren't you?
I just ordered some UV glowy ball closure rings from a groovy little online shop, and a couple of PTFE barbels. PTFE apparently is an inert biomaterial, is supposed to be good for new piercings and those that aren't healing well, and it's flexible, thought I'd give it a try in my nipple piercing that keeps going a bit crusty lol...nice image huh?

As i recall it works wonders on stretchings. as far as nipples go, use the bars first, is my advice, mucho love...hope you can tell i thought about this post,
