Make your stretching journey easy and adorable with these acrylic tapers!

The gauge listed is the *ending* gauge you want to be at. Tapers can come in black, clear, red, blue, purple, pink, white, lime, or orange. If you have a color preference put it in the comments box at checkout and we will do our best to accommodate you (if we have the color in stock).

Please Note: The 2g tapers in this style measure 6mm at their largest diameter. If you are using the taper to insert jewelry make sure that the pieces that you want to wear are not 6.5mm, as this design may not be helpful for that.

In our drop-down menus for adding to cart, we show the gauge of the item you are ordering, then the length/diameter, then the ball size if it has any:

Jewelry is measured through a gauge system (see chart below). The higher the gauge number the smaller the wire is. A standard "earring" is usually 20 gauge. Jewelry gauges/sizes can vary between manufacturers. There is no universal regulation on companies to make a standard size in body jewelry. A big part of this is that some jewelry is made overseas and measured in millimeters. And in the USA jewelry is measured in inches/gauges. So many times jewelry can be anywhere from .5mm to 1mm different.
