Would i be able to stretch with claws?
Or should i not wear them for long periods of time?
Thanks in advance.

They're really not good for stretching; it gets riskier as you go bigger. The weight can pull on your lobes and put pressure on a fresh stretch, and they can move around too much, causing irritation.

I'd say they're safer to wear as jewelry than tapers, but still not recommended. If you really need to stretch with them I suppose you could, but the benefit of using a taper over a claw or crescent or whatever you want to call it, is that you can follow the taper with your plug. I can back up what corazon said about then moving around and causing irritation. Before I figured out what I was doing I'd wear spirals and claws and would have trouble with them staying in place, thus causing me to shift around in a certain size forcing me to stretch holes constantly. Sorry if that doesn't make any sense...I'm so tired lol

Thanks for the info. Yeah i got most of it. haha
I'll stick to plugs for now
Just in case someone reads this i don't want to start another thread but what are some good signs of your piercing being healed? I don't want to size up or anything, just for massage purposes and jewelry changing.
