This set of gauges was perfect for my husband, who recently began his ear gauging journey. Since there are so many sizes and different options in said sizes, he can pick and choose which ones to wear according to where he is at with each size. For example, he'll start going up in size using the taper and then once he feels that the ear is stretched enough he will use the regular gauges. On the weekends he uses the spirals since they are not appropriate for his work environment. This is a great starter kit, my husband LOVES his. The bags each come pre-labeled with the size they are and those bags came in a draw string bag which keeps you nice and organized, highly recommend.
