Why are tapers bad for your ears?

If you’ve only recently healed from a regular ear piercing, you may want to start out with 16g tapers, just to be on the safe side. There is no such thing as stretching too slowly, but stretching too quickly can cause scarring, injury, and prevent ears from healing evenly and properly.

How do concave tapers work?

The concave tapers have an indention on the back end of the taper that allows you to insert your larger sized plug into the inside of the taper, so you just pull the taper through and easily insert your new plug at the same time.

Is it bad to wear tapers as jewelry?

Stone tapers are not to be used for stretching at all. They are only for wearing in healed stretches as jewelry because they are porous and can carry too much bacteria. In general, tapers are only recommended for wearing in smaller gauges as jewelry.

Can you wear tapers all the time?

Why shouldn’t I wear tapers as every day ear jewelry? Most tapers are designed to be used as ear stretching tools, not as pieces to be worn on a regular basis. Doing so can easily put uneven pressure on your healing ears, leading to unnecessary damage.

Can I sleep in spiral tapers?

The plugs should be ok to sleep in. I have 2 other glass spirals and I only wear on special occasions since they are heavy.

Can you wear tapers all day?

They are used to perform the actual stretching and should be replaced with jewelry within a few hours. Even though many of the tapers you can buy are very attractive they simply are not designed for long term wear as there is a danger that the weight of a taper can tear your delicate ear tissue.

What kind of tape can I use to stretch my ears?

PTFE is a great and inexpensive tape that you can use to stretch.
