The Embedded Earlobe Expander (EEE) differs from the solid cylindrical earlobe-stretching devices, or "plugs," presently used in that its outer perimeter has partitioned arcs connected by moveable screws to the center of the cylinder. Like a conventional solid plug, the EEE is inserted into an existent earlobe aperture, but the EEE's adjustable design allows the wearer to adjust the size of the device to however small or large is desired according to the choice of the wearer. The wearer adjusts the screws, either before or during wear, to his or her choice of stretching pressure or wearing tension. The wearer's ability to manipulate the screws to any desired size offers several advantages over the standard practice of graduated plug sizes, such as a more gradual increase in size, a wider range of sizes, and the added ability to decrease the size for easy removal.
