Great Quality
I used this set to size up from 4g to 0g and did so in about 2-3 months. The material of these is hands down excellent. The weight of the tapers helps in the process of sizing up with relative ease, the tunnels are elegant and perfectly flared, the finish is consistent and stays brilliant in its sheen. The cool touch and smooth steel texture helps a lot when you're easing up in sizes. I found that to be an unexpectedly important detail in terms of making smooth transitions from one gauge to the next.This is a great bargain and well worth the investment, even if you aren't sizing up and just want some quality variety, or to keep your options open for later. Great for beginners, just remember to take good care to use the proper balms when replacing tapers/tunnels and basic hygiene stuff. I felt very safe with these and they look great!

Good, solid product
This kit has everything that someone wanting to stretch their ears in a simple, safe, and economical way would need. I have so far stretched to an 8G using this kit, and I have no complaints at all. Things to keep in mind when stretching with this kit: make sure to wash everything before you put it in your ears, go slow when stretching (some of the tapers have a faster size increase than others of different sizes), and wear an o-ring in front of the tunnels too. I read many reviews before I bought this kit, and I have to agree with other people who said that the tunnels can go through their piercing and be quite painful. It has not happened to me, but I could see how it could. So I take two o-rings from the tapers (you shouldn't be wearing the tapers long-term anyway) and use them in front of my tunnels.Update: I am now at a 2g, and I still love these tunnels! I have not found better steel tunnels than these. They are my go-to, basic plugs when I just want to wear something comfy yet sturdy. However, I now am using the taping method to stretch, so the tapers are not useful to me anymore.

All here!
I've seen quite a lot of reviews on these, and many people are saying that tapers/tunnels were missing. But the whole package was $10.00 (Hot Topic sells each size of tapers for $10-$15 a piece) so I decided to risk it. However, every taper was present and accounted for. I got 2 tapers and 2 tunnels each for sizes 12g to 0g. I guess my only compaint is that a 12 is way too big for me to have started with so I spent a couple more dollars to get a set of 16's and 14's. So if you're starting from a regular ear piercing I highly recommend getting those 2 sets to save yourself some pain and potential damage. It's a very cost friendly step to save your ears! I'll put a link for what I bought. Otherwise, the quality seems very good on these. I wanted steel because it seemed much more smooth than acrylic and better for sensitive skin. I saw no bends or blemishes of any kind. No O rings missing. This is the way to go if you're ready to stretch.

Plugs & Tapers
This set was alright, really. Cheap kit, nice quality. The pairs and plugs are put into mini baggies with the size printed on them (the CORRECT size at that :) ). It did it's job, but mind you that the tapers are kinda short compared to most tapers. Also, don't try to put in the tunnels RIGHT after stretching, as most people are instructed to do. This will actually hurt a lot and it most likely won't go in and it will make your ear swollen for over a week. You may think the tunnels are larger than the taper, but they really aren't. Just whatever you do, don't force anything in your ears without lubricant, and even if it hurts WITH lubricant, then don't stretch yet.(I rated four stars because of the shortness of the tapers and the slight weirdness of the plugs/tunnels.)The tunnels that are in the package look kinda weird to be honest. The taper actually is like half of a saddle plug (the top is kinda wedged.. but I guess I wont be having painful mornings of pulling out the painful sharp flare out of my ear if it accidentally slips in; because of the wedged effect, the top edge of the jewelry cannot slide through my ear to give me pain.), but it's single flare, longer towards the bottom so your ear isn't stretched by he jewelry itself. The tunnel part actually has a really small hole (that is if you're using a smaller gauge like I am).Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. It came to my house pretty quick and I stretched to 8g the very same day. Thank you.

Great set, great price
I bought this kit back in May, and I'm at 0g now! The smaller stretches went really quickly for me as my body heals very quickly. This was a very affordable way for me to finally be able to stretch my ears, and I love that the tapers are shorter, as they fit easily in my little mini-jewelry cases. I would absolutely recommend for people new to stretching to buy this kit rather than the much cheaper acrylic alternatives; steel is so much safer and healthier for your ears, and this kit is incredibly affordable (consider that on many body jewelry websites, individual tapers can cost $6). So, having used all of the sizes of this kit, I can definitely say that it was a good purchase. :)

Muy buenos
No los eh usado todos pero son de muy buena calidad y las puntas si están muy cortas para usarlas para expandirse la oreja no lo recomiendo, por lo demás muy contento con la compra.

Great Set.
I really didn't need all sizes of the gauges, as my ears were already a 0 before, but I wasn't sure what they'd shrunken down to in the few years I had them out, so this was a great option to cover all my bases without breaking the bank. The tapers have a nice weight to them, but aren't too heavy. I currently have the 2s in and barely notice them. The rose gold is a nice tone, and the finish seems durable. I haven't had any excessive irritation so I believe they are good quality metal. The rubber bands are durable but have enough give to slide on easy and stay in place. Really happy with this product and would recommend to anyone looking to stretch a piercing.

Great kit
Very nice little kit. All in their own bags and marked with gauge of earings. I was looking at many kits and forgot to check the gauges, so I can’t use this kit, my ears are already a 0 and I needed a kit that went to 00. Most other kits supply up to 00.

Colour isn’t steady and need a 1G step. Overall good but not great
Love the look. I got the rose gold kit. The colour isn’t steady, that is taking a point down (on the picture you can see a darker stripe on the left). And the step between 2g and 0g is way too big, I did it but it was awful. The straight part isn’t long enough on the cone. Most of all, would need a 1g kit into this package.

Perfect price for perfect product
Exactly as labeled! Each size came in a marked bag including 2 tapers, 2 tunnels and 6 o-rings for the tapers and tunnels so you're set to stretch! Couldn't be happier with this purchase
