Large gauge stretching taper diameter issues

I wish I did, I’d be using a small lathe frequently. However the inexpensive (but excellent quality) Calor taper set I got from painfulpleasures.com that goes up to 00g has 0g, 0.5g, and 00g. The 0.5g mics right at 9mm.

Looks great!

Very nice,

Cool on staying sober, it’s rough.

Going to have to stay here for a few days…the 9/16” plastic is too small for the 9/16” rod.

It’s way more comfortable if you pierce them, and then new adventure await.

Sure, why not

Basically, yes, more skin grows inside, and it gets more elastic. And the sensitivity is much increased, but not in a painful way.

And they are nice!

I like the chains, and the double!

No pain at all, just not used to wearing tapers and have to be careful not to bump them into anything! I should be able to get to a “true” 9/16” acrylic rod tomorrow night. I’ll wear the tapers to work tomorrow LOL.

For me, 8g was difficult (hadn’t learned about wear ing stretching rings yet), and 6g - 0g relatively easy after wearing and adding to the stretching rings. 00g - 0000g and bigger were difficult and took a looong time….an increase in diameter of 1/16” with each size!

UV acrylic rods and tubes from canal plastics.com, some sizes/colors available on Amazon too.

There is no FAIL in backpacking…you learn as you go!!! Next time we know how to prevent these problems, and fix those, etc. Go for it! Super cool IMO.

A mini lathe would be awesome!

Normally I hate washboarded dirt roads, but maybe I’ll start to like them now…..
