I have a feeling that Roo knows better than you do on this subject, he found the picture.
I’m sure the material isn’t any more unsafe than acrylic, or if it is, it’s not by much.

Handmade toothbrush plugs, interesting. Not sure that’s healthy to wear long-term though, eh.

B – The dark part probably came from the melting of the pieces to make them smooth. I’ve melted quite a lot of things in my day… Part of it always turns darker or black.

If your saying the flare in the photo with them being worn is darker, then wouldn’t that be because the light isn’t shining through them. In the other photos you can see they are transparent. When they are in the light can’t get to them so they look darker.
More on topic. I love them, the colour is great. and the fact they are made of a toothbrush just makes them more awesome.

O-rings or melted, doesn’t matter. Nice ingenuity there! Way better than just stuffing stupid things through your ears like pen caps or straws. 🙂 Rad color too.

Its easy to shape plastic if you heat it in boiling salt water. If you cut or use abrasive (sand paper or something) the plastic won’t be smooth enough.
