So much easier (By twixter22 - 26 Jun, 2009)

These are so much easier than normal tapers, well worth the extra money.
Max.

So simple to use. (By Stoic - 13 May, 2009)

These stretch gradually and with a little vitamin E oil to lubricate these ensure the easiest size up possible.

A great product for beginners.

Fantastic and easy to use (By Idony-Fae - 3 Mar, 2009)

I bought one of these a few months ago because I wanted to stretch a lobe piercing from a 1.2 to a 1.6. I was a little unsure of how to use it before it arrived, and assumed that it was going to hurt loads. The pin arrived within 2 days of me placing my order, and looked less painful than I originally thought.

To use, I sterilised mine in boiling water and then warmed my ear with a flannel soaked in warm water, to help it slide through more easily. The first time I used the pin to enlarge a piercing, I used pure tea tree oil on it to lubricate, but I have since used vaseline jelly and savlon, and all three of these have worked well, though I wouldn't recommend tea tree oil if the piercing you wish to stretch is still tender. The stretching itself was not difficult, though the pin felt tight when I was passing it through the piercing it didn't hurt at all.

I have also used this pin several times when changing jewellery, and have found that it makes for an easy and painless process. Highly recommended!

Fantastic! (By Jolt - 31 Jan, 2009)

Just started out stretching my ears, up to 4mm now. Very nice piece of equipment, works fine with no problems and goes through very smoothly and the dip at the end makes putting in your jewellery nice and easy.

Recommended for everyone!
