Hey people, complete noob here so bear with me and any helpful advice is appreriated

I'm looking at starting to move up the scale (goal of 8mm) by using acrylic tapers and plugs. ** This is simply because I've seen full kits of tapers and plugs online and I want to buy a few to keep things going **

Reading the advice page on this site, I found acrylic is not recommended for long term use. Once I get the ball rolling and then come to a comfortable gauge which I would stay at for a while, I'll swap the acrylic plugs in the kit for tunnels in steel etc.


Is an acrylic starter kit a good idea?
If not, can anyone direct me to a site where I can buy a set of tapers and plugs in a set for long term use?


Thanks for reading.

An acrylic stretching kit wouldn't be a good idea.
Steel Kit is decent enough and it's cheap as well.

Thanks for that, glad to know people out there are helpful to noobs haha.

Do you know any sites where I can get a set of steel tapers 2mm and up?

I got 316L stainless steel stretching kit 14g-0g single flared plugs and one of each 14g-0g taper. Let me remind you, you only need one taper of each size because its not good to leave tapers in anyways. I got them off a ebay store for 35 bucks. Fast shipping and free!

Heres the link

^ those are expensive.

Just made the purchase of the steel kit, cheap postage across the pond too =D Thanks!

You ordered the one i recommended? if you did the shipping only took like 2 days! good people to work with!

Made the purchase, waited a while, 2mm taper went in today. Wish me luck! :D

Taper went in, followed be jewelry, I hope...

I just saw an AD for this new stretching style/kit available called SnapPlugs, check it out, they look AWESOME: www.stretchlogic.com its supposed to be like using teflon tape, but a million times better! Only $15 bucks for the set too

There is this thread where they talk about them too: http://www.earstretching.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1182
