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.
What are good household items to gauge your ears with?
Dont stretch your ears with a bunch of stuff that is just lying around the house. You are asking for an infection. Go buy some tapers.

They are just tapers that react to a black light. Kind of like UV paint that glows.
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.
How do you gauge an ear?
Just to let you know, people will take you more seriously if you say stretch instead of gauge. Obviously, your ears have to be pierced. Then you stretch up using tapers- you remove the tapers after stretching and put in plugs for long-term wear. You don't wear tapers because they thin out your lobes. You wait at least 2-3 months between each stretch from16ga to 8ga. Then you'll have to wait a while longer depending on what method you use to stretch. Once you hit 8ga, you have the option of taping. Its pretty simple, just look up the specific info on your own. Tapers aren't really effective beyond 2ga. Don't skip sizes and don't wear acrylic, wood, or bone until your lobes are completely healed. This is just basic info. Look up specific information and guidelines if you decide to go through with it.
How long until you can change your tapers into plugs?
Tapers aren't jewelry.. you have them in for about 10-15 minutes then change it with the plugs but don't take to long to change them. Tapers aren't made to stay in your ear for long or it will mess your ears up.
What should I do if I pierced my lip with an 18 gauge and not a 16 or 14?
Wait about a month before you stretch it up. Use surgical steel and not acrylic. 18ga-14ga is pretty easy so you shouldn't need tapers or tape. And never ever pierce yourself again ;)
Do you leave tapers in when gauging your ears?
No, you shouldn't. Put in a plug or tunnel after you stretch up and leave those in until your ears heal. Tapers aren't weighted evenly and they mess up your lobes because it makes some places thinner than others.
Whats best used to sterilize ear stretching tapers?
first of all,you should not be using tapers to stretch your ears.use bondage tape.tapers are horrible for your ears. but,if you have to,use hydrogen peroxide.
Should your ear get infected from a 2 to a 0 gauge?
Your ear should NEVER get infected. But of course, it can. 2ga-0ga is a big stretch so your ear might just be cranky. Instead of using tapers, I would use the taping method. Its much easier on your ears and you won't tear your ear. If you just want to use tapers, I'd stop at 1ga and wait a bit before you go to 0ga.
