Calm down vcmart it's cool baby everything is fine

I understand that sellers don't always get the reviews they want, a lot of people don't leave reviews etc. but I can't honestly tell anyone what I do think about it UNTIL I HAVE USED IT. And seriously, with stuff like this, you'll have to use some of them before you can give any useful feedback. And no one should strain their ears as quickly as a seller asks for a review! So take it easy, everyone. They are exactly as pictured, they arrived in small pouches with sensors clearly marked inside a larger and more durable dual pocket pouch. I've stretched my ear lobes before but lost my last few thin candles and they are way prettier so I'm happy with them. Two things: I'm asking everyone, don't wear cone candles in public, it's embarrassing and not particularly safe. Tapers are not designed for this. I've been seeing this all over the place lately, and it's purely an amateur move. Another thing, for those of you having trouble putting shims on the back of the tunnels, once the tunnel is in place, take the cone, place the shim on top, slide it through the back of the tunnel and roll the shim from the cone and onto the tunnel. This will save you a lot of time and save you from dropped pucks. Cones are a very handy tool. If you can easily fit the cone through your ear but are having trouble getting the tunnel into place, take the cone, insert it through the tunnel from the front and use it gently to push the tunnel into place . Also, since each cone comes with two washers (for TEMPORARY wear), you have two extra washers if you need them for the tunnel. I think something else - many of us use different oils to clean and lubricate the puncture site and cone. That's great, but oil often ruins washing machines, be aware. I reduce this every time I take the tunnel out (once a week whether I increase the size or not) by thoroughly oiling my earlobe and then showering. Hot water will wash away excess oil and relax the piercing. Then I clean the tunnel and put it back in place and change the washer. If I go up in size I can re-oil the cone, but I use it sparingly and clean it very well with a tissue or paper towel before installing the washer. (I made a great oil using castor oil, jojoba oil, and pure vitamin E oil.) I stretch my piercing every four weeks and it goes very smoothly. They are great tools and when I get to 00 and decide to continue I will be buying the next sizes up from them as well if they wear them. But I still won't write a review until I use the product! These are the rules! Don't panic, vcmart, everything is fine.
