I've never seen those before. To even use them you'd have to be at a size smaller than 18ga. Which is also pretty uncommon. You'll be fine if you get a 16ga taper. If you don't want to go bigger than 18ga, just get a piece of 18ga jewelry.

What is the ear gauge of a taper?
Tapers come in all different sizes. From 14g to 1 inch, But I don't suggest using tapers after 0g.
Is it ok to go from an 18 gauge to a 14 gauge earring?
Not all at once! Get some Tapers, and don't stretch it more than a size every 2 weeks, to avoid tearing and give it a little time to heal.

If you get your ear pierced with a 16 or 18 gauge but put a 14 gauge earring in will your ear split?
Well 18g and 16g are neighbours in the gauge world, 14g is the next largest gauge from 16g so you would just be stretching the piercing up to 14g. All stretching should be done with proper tapers and ultimately done by a professional body piercer to ensure the piercing isn't torn in the process.

How do you put tapers-body jewelry in for the first time?
Tapers are used to stretch the ears, so if you have tapers close to the gauge that your ears are currently, grit your teeth and push it through until it gets to the widest end and put the rubber rings on the taper to keep it in place. If the gauge of the taper is NOT near what your ears are currently, I wouldn't suggest pushing it through. If you do, it could cause your skin to rip and bleed, or your ear to split entirely, resulting in a blowout.

How do you make homemade tapers for ear streching?
Instead of making tapers, you could just use the taping method. Buy a plug and then put a layer of ptfe tape around it. Add 2-3 layers a week and eventually you'll get to whatever size you want. Its way easier than trying to measure household objects to determine what gauge they are. Do some more research on taping!
