I purchased a pair of 1g tapers and tunnels. I am over the moon with my purchase! These are true to size. 1g tunnels are notoriously difficult to find because they are a mid-size, right between 2g and 0g. I had my ears at a 2g for 6 months. I thought I could never stretch them up. I tried putting in the 0g tapers and my ears were like hell no! Taping didn't work for me either. That's why I'm so glad to have these. The tapers are nice and long for optimum stretching ease. The tunnels look great and I feel confident that after a few months I can move up to 0g easily too.
