Definitely Does the Job 10/29/2007

Reviewer: Mark Presti (nooseforaneckie@earthlink.net) from Hasbrouck Heights, NJ US

I used these tapers for 4 of my gaugings. I have to say, they definitely do the job. These tapers even function as temporary jewelery if you don't have the same size jewelery on hand, as they come with a set of o-rings. In smaller gauges they work fine just by themselves. As with any large gaugings, though, I would have to suggest using some type of lubricant during your stretch. All in all, these are definitely a great buy.

Big help! 04/04/2007
|
|
Reviewer: A viewer from Fresno, CA US

These came in so handy when I was stretching my ears. The first few times I stretched, I didn't use a taper, and it was a BIG mistake. It hurt and took a while to get the jewelery through. But with the tapers, it was a lot less painful. Actually, not much pain at all, and it's a nice clean stretch. I'm at 1/2 inch now, with no problems.

Tapers 07/23/2006

Reviewer: Kindall Phelps (kindall_phelps@yahoo.com) from Pensacola, FL US

These guys help a tremendous amount. Seriously... I went from an 8 to a 2 in no time with them. It's way less painful when using these than it is to just straight up shove a new tunnel or w/e in your ear. If you're unsusre about whether to get them or not... trust me, your best bet is to get them; It can save you on a lot of pain and a throbbing ear. <3
