Bodfx 36 Piece Black UV Acrylic Ear Stretching Kit + Piercing Balm. Tapers & Plugs. 14g-00g

These arrived in a timely manner. The price can't be beat considering you get all these pieces for a very low price. It's not fancy but it will get the job done and save you a lot of money. I don't even want to think how much I spent over the years stretching my ears to 2s (I had to take them out for the military and they closed back up to 10s over time.) Go with this to save money and when you've reached your desired size, then start worrying about the cool-looking gauges.But all 36 pieces of jewelry are stuffed into a rather small black box. My only complaint is that I feel like the tapers and the actual gauges could be placed inside one of the small bags together to save more space and to save time for rooting around for the gauges after you use the tapers (I leave my tapers in for a couple hours before switching.)Overall, great buy.

I love them. The instructions were clear enough to understand. I didn't need the rings for the tapers so I'll keep a few in my purse in case one comes off the plug. This was my first time using tapers and plugs. It took awhile to do, mostly because I was afraid of tearing, but it worked, I probably used too much lube. It did hurt while sliding taper in but I paused a couple time to allow my lobe to get used to it....**update, woohoo. I'm on my 3rd stretch. Following the directions there is no pain, and slight sting that's it. No tears or bleeding. I've included my setup, I keep extra ?stoppers in my purse? The shot glass is to soak earlobes, it was easier and economical. The medium size I make sea salt solution to dip qtips in...and the larger dish with lid for the dirty pieces, with alcohol rub to sanitize. Oh, the first stretch was a bit painful, I had to restart one and the other is went too fast, ouchies, but now it's getting easier. Overall I lIke the lookind and ease.

I HIGHLY recommend these to people who are just starting to stretch. If you can order them, get them. It's a good bargain. Also, if you're one of those people who goes to Hot Topic or Spencer's and gets a 2-3 pack for $15, get this instead. You get an entire kit for less! Yes, you have to wait a couple business days, but it's worth it. I got mine a bit quicker than I expected. And when they arrived, they're way better than any acrylic tapers I've owned. I have pretty fat earlobes and when i put in tapers from Spencer's, they were way too short. I would wake up with my O-rings on the floor or next to my pillow. But, when I put these in, they're a good length, they stay in and conform to your ears. Of course with every set of acrylic tapers, these require the same amount of care and cleaning. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if you are new to this, DO NOT clean these with hydrogen peroxide, it makes the taper brittle and snap easily. You'll lose a good taper. Be sure to follow the instructions that come in the box

Very very happy with this purchase! The seller was very responsive, helpful and professional when I contacted them about USPS dragging their asses and being no help at all... Bodfx offered to make it right even though it wasn't their fault at all. It was a comfort knowing the seller cares about your satisfaction.The product itself came exactly as described. Each pair of tapers is separated by size on a clearly labeled bag. Each pair of plugs is sorted exactly the same way. Everything came neatly packed into a small, aesthetically pleasing box so it can be stored safely and without losing anything.I'm incredibly happy and satisfied with the price I paid, the product and the seller's prompt and professional response to my emails.If you're thinking of buying this set, do it. You won't be disappointed. Shipping said 3-5 business days and it took a lot longer that only because of USPS generally not giving a shit, not because of the seller at all. So if you don't recieve your package within the time specified, there's usually no worries unless it's been unacceptably long.

I received this stretching kit July 1st . It came in a little box as pictured with ear lube and every piece packaged according to size. I've stretched my ears up to 7/16th a few years ago but my ears shrunk back to 16g . I decided I wanted to stretch again and after reading all the great reviews I decided to try this product out, it's been 5 days and I'm already at a 8 g. The only reason I was able to move up so quickly is because the earlobe lube that came with the kit is amazing . It has been painless to stretch and I will be buying more lube very soon. When I've stretched before it would hurt and my ears would get very irritated. Not this time . I highly recommend this product for anyone who is a 1st time stretcher , or just want a very natural and pain-free lobe lube .

I don't know if anyone else experienced this, but the sizes from 14 to 8 seemed a little bit small to me. I already have a 0 in my left ear, and am gauging up from a 14 on the right. I'm at 8 now, and when I went to gauge up to the size 6 I noticed the taper was huge compared to the 8. At least twice the size. Absolutely no way it was going to fit without ripping my ear open.As far as the fact that the entire set was under $20 I feel like I can't complain, but I'm probably going to have to go out and buy tapers to bridge between this set's 8 to 6 which sucks. But like I said for the money, and how expensive tapers can be I would still recommend picking this set up.

This set is a steal compared to buying each size of tapers and plugs individually, and even compared to other sets. They say not to use acrylic in freshly-stretched ears because it's porous and can't be sterilized, but I have been stretching for two months and I have yet to encounter anything. The shipping on this product was quick and everything was included just as described. Each size of taper and plug has its own small plastic bag and it comes with o-rings for both the tapers and plugs. At first, the o-rings were irritating my skin, but after I started massaging with jojoba oil, the irritation went away. This is a great set that I would recommend to anyone who wants to stretch their ears without having to buy specialty jewelry along the way.
