AQUEENLY 1g Taper and Plugs 4 Piece Stainless Steel Ear Stretching Kit (1 Gauge-7mm)

The tapers are nice and heavy and it was so easy to follow through with the tunnels. My only complaint is how difficult the o-rings were to slide on the tunnels. After several attempts, I had to sit down and stretch each o ring a fee times just to get it loose enough to stretch over the back of the tunnel. I do like that it has a little groove to keep the o-rings in place though!I feel like the o-ribgs may have been meant for a much smaller size.

The O rings are very very difficult to put on!! I tried both the ones that the tunnels came with and the ones on the tapers and they slide on the tapers fine if it's from the small end but they are incredibly hard to slip on the tunnels!!! I've never had this issue before; i even tried to put the orings on again few days after and i still cannot use the ones it came with. I had to use size 0g/8mm o rings which are almost too big. They rest on the ridge of the tunnels fine but almost always come off in my sleep. I just sized up to 0g/8mm no problem today after wearing the 1g/7mm for a week and I'm so glad I don't have to stress about losing my tunnels anymore!!!

I got these alongside a 14g-00g stretching kit because I heard it's nearly impossible to go straight to 0g from 2g. These do the job fine. They feel a little cheaper quality than the vcmart kit I got, but I haven't had a reaction to the metal, so they're fine. If you're debating getting a 1g taper kit, then go ahead and do it so you don't destroy your ears.

Update: Sorry I'm late, they slid right in after 24 hours!I tried stretching to 0g from 2g & bled. So I was like OKAY then nevermind. Thanks universe. Far too much force went into trying to get the 0g through, my mistake. I put the 2's back in & waited a couple weeks to heal. They felt good to go, and looked good to go, so I ordered these. Not only was delivery set for a 4 day time frame & they came in 2, but I lubed up my lobes & they slid right through. Would you believe I felt the SLIGHTEST pinch? That it was literally the easiest stretch I've had thus far? I've been reading about folks only needing them for a day then swapping to 0g with ease, so I hope that's the case. I'll keep ya posted, I'll be trying in a few hours!

This was perfect for what I needed. I was trying to get to a 0g and was stuck at 2g for quite awhile. I couldn't go to a 0g and was freaking out and decided to look around and found out they had 1g tapers. Immediately bought this and put them in after cleaning.It went beautifully. No pain nothing. I had it in for a couple of days before finally going up to a 0g.

Perfect fit. Going to a zero and this is a nice in between so I didn’t have to deal with taping or worry about blowing out the hole. Only suggestion is that the black rubber bands on the single flares needs to be bigger. No way I’m ever getting that back on them lol. I used another set of bands I had laying around. The tapers have a nice weight to them. I soaked them in 70% Isopropyl and then lubed the lobe with neosporin and they went in without any pain or discomfort!

If you are trying to go from a 2 to a 0 I'm assuming you are having trouble and looking for an in-between well GET THESE! I was like I will never get from a 2 to 0 it seems like such a big jump. I just got these in the mail less than an hour ago they went right in with just a little pinch. My right ear always does better than my left but I wore the left taper a little longer and finally got the tunnel in. The O rings suck and are super small but I just used other ones I have around and still giving 5 stars! I'll update if it let's me to when I go to a 0!

Aesthetically pleasing for sure, the bands are a little funky but they stay on really well. Really helped me step up to a 0g! (I saw a lot of posts saying they received dirty jewelry, mine was clean and didn't react to hydrogen peroxide so they were for sure clean for me).

I noticed there was a huge gap between stretching from 2g to 0g, it wasn't possible...this 1g is a good way to bridge the gap. I was at 2g before I bought these, they went right in and I'm wearing them now. My next step is to go to 0g and it should go smoothly now with these 1g !

1g tapers and plugs are uncommon to find in jewlery stores, this made the jump between 2g and 0g a breeze. Highly recommend to anyone gauging.
