Frequently Asked Questions
What are ear tapers used for?
Ear tapers are tools commonly used to help gradually increase the size of stretched earlobe piercings when moving to a larger gauge.
Are tapers considered jewelry?
Tapers are primarily designed as stretching tools, although some people temporarily wear them during the stretching process. Many stretching enthusiasts switch to plugs or tunnels for long-term wear.
What size should I stretch to next?
The appropriate size depends on your current gauge and stretching progress. It's generally recommended to stretch gradually and allow adequate time between size increases.
Can I wear tapers every day?
Tapers are most commonly used as stretching tools rather than permanent jewelry. Many people prefer plugs or tunnels for everyday wear after reaching their desired size.
How do I choose the right taper?
Consider your current gauge size, stretching goals, and preferred material. Choosing the correct taper size is important for a comfortable stretching experience.
