Tapers
Tapers are spiky, long tools that are placed into the ear holes to stretch your piercing. You can get them in different sizes depending on what size of stretching you want.
The most common types of tapers are steel or acrylic. While they may be more expensive, professional piercers recommend using steel tapers because they move through the piercing easier. The cheap ones may lead to irritation and block healing.
Lubricant
Lubricants are needed to provide easy movement for the tapers through the piercing. You can purchase lubricants from any jewelry store around your area. Plant-based lubricants such as jojoba oil [4] or coconut oil are also highly effective.
Do not use lubricants that contain additives or chemicals because they can result in irritation or infection.
