Why can't tapers be used as jewelry? Some people like me just can't get along with tapers and have to stretch using other methods, e.
Tapers shouldn't be worn as jewellery as they will create uneven pressure points and possibly cause thinning of ….
Are Acrylic Tapers Safe for Stretching? Wearing tapers as jewelry? I am currently at 20mm. My ears are healthy enough that I can remove my jewelry at night without any issues and my lobes do not sag when my jewelry is out. The best thing that I did, in my opinion, was listen to what my body was telling me or showing me and allow it to decide when it was ready to be stretched again.
You can use tapers as jewlery, but you will be ruthlessly mocked, and you have a higher risk of catching them on things and poking yourself. Hello everyone I'm back! Yeah I finally stoped using my tapers as jewelry long time ago and start using some steel tunnels? I don't remember what size I was back then but rn I'm at 2g, my goal size it's 00g.
Anyways, thank you very much again. Initially you should purchase both tapers and long term ear stretching jewelry in the gauges you will be stretching to. Make sure you really like what you are buying as ideally they will be worn for at least a month before you gauge up to the next size.
Keep in mind that while gauging up you will need a lubricant of some kind. Jojoba oil is a great choice. Vitamin E oil will also do the trick you can break open a standard Vitamin E capsule and use the oil if you can't find the real thing.
In a pinch you can use Vaseline or a generic petroleum jelly, but it's really not the best choice. The very best time to stretch your ears is when you have just stepped out of a hot shower. It is at this point that your earlobe skin is at its softest and most pliable. You will also be beginning with nice, clean hands, something that is also very important.
Begin by massaging a small amount of lubricant onto your ear and then slowly insert the taper, small end first, into your ear piercing. At this point pay attention to how you feel as stretching should not be painful! If you feel pain you should stop immediately as pain is sign that your piercing is not ready to be stretched.
However, some minor discomfort and light resistance is normal so just be patient. Next, align your long term jewelry with the larger end of the taper as if it were an extension of it. Push the taper through your ear along with the jewelry and then move on to your other ear. As you move on to larger sizes you can try a different method, one that is known as taping.
This involves adding small layers of tape such as PTFE, Teflon or bondage tape around a piece of ear jewelry and reinserting it into your ear. By gradually increasing the number of tape layers over the course of the next few days the gauge of the plug can be increased.
This can be a very comfortable way to gauge up to larger sizes over 0g. Thankfully, there is not a lot involved in the aftercare of a fresh ear stretch. If you have stretched your ear properly there should be no tears or damage to your ear and therefore no need to treat them as if they were fresh piercings.
The most important thing however is that you not do anything that will slow down the basic healing process. Do not use rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide near your freshly stretched ears.
