Awinrel Stainless Steel Ear Gauge Taper Stretching and Single Flare Plugs Flesh Tunnel Kit with O-ring 2 Pairs

Ordered in 1/2 in. The size was fine. There is no way these are stainless steel. I've worn and gauged my ears for over 10years and NEVER had a reaction like this. My ears are bleeding and ozzing yellow fluid everywhere. I have extreamly sensitive skin. These are also VERY heavy and in my opinion not good for larger sized holes as they will stretch unevenly. Will not buy again.

Appropriate sizing, the black says acrylic but it's definitely metal. So far no adverse reactions to the metal, my ear got a little angry because I ordered some tunnels that turned out to be too big and trying to shove them threw my left ear got irritated, I waited a couple days then shoved this threw with some neosporin as a lubricant. Apparently my ear still wasn't fully back to normal so I think it tore a tiny bit but everything is healing up, swelling going down, pain going away, which none of it was from the taper or tunnel, it was all my fault.In a day or so I should be able to switch to the tunnel I had to buy these to stretch up to lol

This set is the worst stretching set I've used, and that says a lot considering I've been stretching my ears for over a year now and I got up to 0g on my own. I bought the 9mm to be an in between size for 0 and 00 and I even waited longer than I usually do for my 1mm jumps and it did not work. The first time they went through but put me in pure pain and then I couldn't get the jewelry in afterwards. Since then I've given breaks in between trying while carefully caring for my ears like usual since I have two sets of stretched piercings, and when I just tried again it went easier but again hurt more than it should and even though I left the taper in my ear until I had no pain (over an hour) attempting to put in the tunnels yet again failed and I directly followed my taper out of my ear with the tunnel. Ridiculous and frustrating, I'll have to purchase a different seller's stretching kit for this size evidently.

They aren't there correct size indicated at all!! Bought for my son and they were the next stretching size up, but constantly fell out.

Using these, I sized up to a 1/2 inch successfully and put in the gauges that came with it to allow my ear time to adjust before I put anything fancy in there. The single flare makes it easier, but the edge is SO SHARP! The next day it was a bit sore, which was strange, but I cleaned it very well and let it be. It was worse the day after. The next day I realized I must by having a bad reaction and took them out immediately. It was disgusting. I was shocked to see how bad it was reacting and the swelling was massive. In spite of the slow stretching process and the constant cleaning, the infection that developed was horrible. Either I cut myself trying to put in the gauge with the sharp edges and it got infected, or I reacted to the material. I have never reacted to stainless steel. In fact, I have never had a reaction EVER, and I carelessly buy whatever I think is cute, regardless of what it’s made of.I’m so bummed, I hope this isn’t the end of my road with gauges!(The picture is from 4 days after I removed the gauge)

Worked so well!Slowly making my way to 00 & I needed 9mm gauges.When they came, I cleaned them with the alcohol wipe provided & they went right in, so well!So far, no reaction, so, I’m pretty positive they’re surgical steel.

Great! Exactly as described!

I didn’t buy these for the tapers, just the tunnels because my ears were too big for the 0g but the 00g was still too tight to dead stretch. I’m allergic to acrylic so I made sure I ordered a set that specified stainless steel tunnels and well they were acrylic. My poor ears are suffering so badly and they were t even in for more then three hours. The second they started feeling irritated I took them out.
