Ear Stretchers, Tapers and Expanders, Surgical Steel 316L

Straight and curved ear stretchers and expanders, hooks, tusks and crescents all in 316L Surgical Steel and Titanium.

People have different ways of stretching their ear lobes.
My prefered method is to use a taper or spiral, and do it myself, slowly.
Choose a taper that is one or two millimeters above the size of your present hole. Dont be tempted to rush, and go up 2 or 3mm in one go, this increases the risk of infection, and produces scar tissue.

If you are starting from scratch, ie from a standard earring piercing, then you need to choose a very small expander... 1.6mm or 2mm if possible. Insert the expander as far as it will go, and then over the next few hours or days even, Gradually push the expander further in, until it reaches the widest part. You are then ready to insert your new jewellery. Always remember to soak your lobes in a salt water solution, during and after stretches. This greatly reduces the risk of infections and speeds up the healing process.

Threaded Taper and Tunnels Set STAPSET01
A Threaded taper and flesh tunnels set. The threaded tapers attach to the internally threaded tunnel they are supplied with. This means that, after a new stretch, its really easy to insert the tunnel. Simply undo the tunnel, attach the taper, insert into ear, take the taper off and fit the other end of the tunnel and... hey presto ! This is simply the easiest and most pain free way of fitting a tunnel after a new stretch. Both the taper and tunnels are made of surgical steel 316L. Each set contains one threaded taper and two tunnels. You save up to £8 buying these items together instead of seperately.
While it is possible to stretch your ear using this taper, its not recommended, as the taper is a little too steep. This set should be used to insert tunnels after a fresh stretch with a stretching taper.

Price starts at : £10.00
