Top products from r/Stretched

I wish you the best of luck in your ears. If you're able to return them, however - and I don't know Wish's return policy as I've been too scared to buy from them - you can be cheap and at least be semi safe and get a steel kit that has everything you can want. Budget friendly and won't harbor nasty bacteria. Even has free two day shipping if you sign up for a free trial of prime. Just do a little more extensive research as there's plenty of safe options for small budgets. Also stay away from tea tree oil and please don't use lotion or neosporin to stretch up, Jojoba oil would be your best friend but coconut could work in a pinch.

Thanks! You're not going to believe this, but the box is from Amazon!!! I've been looking for the perfect jewelry box for YEARS and I found this box and gave it a try. I added balsa wood dividers (the glue is a bit wet in the photos still, the yellow bits will fade). The pumpkins are one of my favorite pairs, they are from Frozenfire on Etsy. He isn't taking custom orders anymore but he is still adding items to his shop, I expect he will add some more pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns around the fall.

Hey, dude! I just wanted to let you know you can get that exact kit from Amazon for a little cheaper!
Good luck! xoxo

i use something like this , but bigger and i can rearrange the slots to fit bigger plugs, and then make them smaller for my smaller jewelry.
if i can find the one i use i’ll try to post it, but tackle boxes and art supply cases will be your best bet


edit: fixed link

I got mine from amazon that had steel tunnels and tapers for around 25$ They go from about 16-0g. Its cheap and they work well. Do NOT get acrylic, stick with metals. Also make sure to go online and look at a stretching guide so you know how long in-between stretching as well as tips not to have a blowout. And for god sakes... PLEASE don't wear tapers as jewelry...

You may be able to get some from your local piercer, but it is likely easier to find online. Amazon link provided of what I use. Please note it is not the cheapest stuff ever.

I've been using these tackle boxes to hold my 1'' collection. I have a few of them to organize by plug type. They're cheap, size is great for inch plugs and can hold a lot of plugs. The dividers can be moved around to have each pair in their own spot. They're available at Wal-Mart as well so its convenient to get if you want them now instead of ordering.

What size are you now? I'm sure they would look good. Here's the ones I ordered, variety of sizes as well

Edit: I don't know how to reddit

Good to know. This is what I bought. It says it stainless steel, so I think I'm probably good.

Also, to add to what jacobcanflyy says, if you don't want to go for bondage tape, a good alternative is the PTFE, which is teflon tape, or plumbers tape. you can get it for insanely cheap at any hardware store.

pic reference. Don't get it from amazon though, they stiff you on the shipping.

If you're worried about that I'm sure you can find some raw or additive free Cocoa Butter somewhere.

Would something like this be a good idea? That's what I did a long time ago when I was originally spacing my ears.

Well, my ex boyfriend used to wear these... http://www.amazon.com/Pair-Glitter-Pyrex-Glass-gauge/dp/B004YG7BTO/ref=pd_d0recs_cwb__7?ie=UTF8&refRID=0CC0BQ3GSGP1H9X9D05T

They look feminine, but they actually didn't look half bad on a man

This one has a 1g size, but its out of stock: http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?jewelry=tapers&orderby=material%20ASC&ProductID=11091&index=1

There's this one on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Piercing-Taper-Steel-Calor-Style/dp/B006HJO3QK/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt

Sorry for the late reply,I think I switched off inbox replies, but I basically got a stretching kit off Amazon. It probably isn't the best way to get into stretching, others will probably recommend better quality and methods but it was relatively inexpensive and I have had no problems with it so far!

Here is the link for the jewelry!

I've seen this recommended before on here.

We found them on Amazon.

No, use a stainless steel kit

I used a kit similar to that one and it worked great for me. Stretching with acrylic isn't terrible, but stainless steal is a lot safer.

I’m at 16mm and I wear one of these, so far so good

I got mine from amazon lol. Probably not the best reputable source but I haven’t had any issues at all, and I’m highly allergic to cheap materials. Here’s the link:

I don't want to get shat on for my methods, but that's what I've been using also. I didn't want to pay for bondage tape, and I have a ton of electrical tape lying around in my bicycle toolboox.

I've had 0 issues wearing it. In fact, the only issues I've had using it has been trying to cut it straight (unfortunately I don't have this in my toolbox yet).
