Hoop Weight & Ear Pain Simulator

📝 User Instructions

• 1. Enter Size: Input the diameter and thickness. A 3mm thick tube is 9x heavier than a 1mm wire.
• 2. Select Material: Gold is almost 2x heavier than steel/brass. Solid gold hoops can be surprisingly heavy.
• 3. Watch the Lobe: The simulator visualizes "lobe drag." If it turns red, you risk tearing your piercing (Cheese Cutter Effect).

🚀 Why check the weight?

Earlobes are soft tissue. Wearing hoops over 7-10 grams for long periods causes permanent stretching ("slit lobes").

Most "chunky" gold hoops are made hollow for this reason. Use the "Hollow" checkbox to see the massive weight difference.
