No household object is an entirely safe substitute for a plug or tunnel. The best plan would be to use a smaller sized plug/tunnel wrapped in Teflon (PTFE) tape to the appropriate size. Alternatively any sort of pipe/tube (pen lids can often be the right size) wrapped in teflon tape will work just fine in the short term.

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!

How do you get a 16 gauge earring in a 18 gauge piercing?
To fit a 16 gauge earring into an 18 gauge piercing, you'll need to stretch the piercing slowly and carefully using tapers or gradually increasing the size of the jewelry over time. It's important to allow enough healing time between stretches to prevent irritation or damage to the piercing. Consulting a professional piercer for guidance and assistance is recommended for this process.
