Define expensive.

My suggestion is glass claws. Maybe $75 for the pair.

I've always been satisfied by http://glasswearstudios.com/

And what diameter are some of those caps on bottled spring water?

Best of luck with your stretching.

And by the way: implant grade.

Bottle caps? Consider the source.

There are no material specs on the page besides the statement that it's
implant grade silicone, but they sure are cheap.

If it's the same company my piercer was using, it is implant grade.
However, the finish sucked and the ordering process was slow. They
seem to have a quality control issue.

The pair I have (classic eyelets) is fine. The surface is kind of
sticky, but so is any silicone tubing I've encountered in the lab, so
it seems to be an inherent problem. I suppose you'll be fine as long as
you don't try to use them to jump a couple of gauges at once (which is
tempting!).
For faster shipping, try bmeshop.com or bodyartforms.com. These are
both very fast when stuff is in stock.

Is there such a thing as a silicone claw? Just wondering.
