316L Steel

  • Our steel jewelry is 316L surgical steel so is safe for new piercings and stretching.
  • Easy to clean and non-porous.
  • One of the most popular materials for new piercings and stretching.

Acrylic and Silicone

  • Lightweight, economical, wide variety of fun colors and styles.
  • Not normally recommended for initial piercings since it is harder to keep clean.
  • Flexible and softer so can be comfortable to wear...especially silicone.

Organic

  • Porous so should not be used in initial piercings and stretches, but this is also good as it allows the body to breathe.
  • Many gorgeous styles to choose from in wood, glass, stone, bone and horn.
  • Do not get wet, especially wood.

EAR STRETCHING INSTRUCTIONS

It's best to relax your ear lobes with hot water or in the shower before starting the stretching process. The stretching will probably sting, but it should not cause a lot of pain. Wash the area daily with soap and try not to touch it throughout the day to prevent infection.

Step by step stretching instructions:

  • Apply a lubricant such as Holey Butt'r, Gauge Gear or jojoba oil to the taper.
  • Take a deep breath and slowly insert the taper until the level end is in your hole (this may take a few minutes or a few hours depending on how it feels).
  • Take the plug and butt it up against the end of the taper and slowly push the taper through with the plug. Your plug should now be in and you can attach your o-ring/s.
  • All done! See the chart on the right for recommended times to wait between stretches.

I absolutely love these. After failing a few times to stretch to 0g and after a bit of research, I decided to get these to help with that transition. They popped in without any problem and even the transition from the tapers to the tunnels (which is usually a bit of an issue for me) was super smooth. Also, the tunnels are quite awesome! I’m in love with my tunnels 😍

Kenneth Davis
The tapers are a great length. I got these because I couldn't seem to go straight to 0 and these have done the truck. The tunnels look awesome in my ears and I've yet to have an issue with them coming loose or undone. Super sturdy in the ear. Love em!

Kevin Tran
Perfect transition size, I'm wearing them now and I'm so so happy that this size was available. There was no way I was jumping up two gauges like my main kit provided, so getting these were crucial. I did try and got some sizeable swelling-i didn't push too far as there was no way I wanted to risk a blow out. ordered these the same day after some research. Waited for swelling to go away, then these slid in perfectly. The screw in bits were my only issue, they were crazy difficult to get through, but that may or may not have been residual swelling I didn't notice. Totally think it was just an error on my part. I don't know why kits don't provide this size and the size between 0 and 00. I'll have to order another in-between size next year to go to 00.

The tapers were great and made my transition from 2g-0g so much easier and safer. I never ended up using the tunnels. Just bought this for the stainless steel tapers.Also heads up: these tapers are LONG. Not necessarily a bad thing, just don't be surprised. They're like 2.5 inches long (by my guess. I didn't actually measure).Price isn't the best but better than you'll get at a piercing kiosk or Spencer's.

I thought the flare was going to be close to the size of the hole but no it was huge especially compared to the tunnels I was wearing before so they seemed pretty heavy at first but after a little bit I got used to them

Julie Davis
Functions as intended. Purchased a 1g for a jump between 2g and 0g because my stretch kit didn’t have that size. Wear well and they don’t weigh down my lobes too.

Before I looked for these, I was unaware that there was a 1G available. Most kits make the jump between 2G and 0G, but after having trouble sizing up, I did some research and found that this was an option. My kits before were all plastic, but the metal made such a smoother transition and a much more comfortable stretch.

Brenda Guzman
Love and fit perfectly. Bought to make the jump from 2g to 0g a lot easier and safer. I definitely reccomend. My friend did the taping method and her ears were different sizes and I also worried about hygiene if I went that route.
