Tapers aren't necessarily the best answer unless you go to a professional to stretch for you..which no one really does, unless you have the extra money. But they're the ones that can really tell if your ear is ready to stretch at the time. Everyone's earlobe elasticity is different, and tapers get the job done but what they do is force your ear to stretch, which in most cases isn't always the best way. Anyway now to your question, silicone is probably the worst material next to acrylic to stretch your ears. It's very porous which means it will expand a bit when it's wet and it holds onto bacteria and adhesive that can ';grow'; or ';run off'; into your ear. I would say silicone is OK if your ears are completely healed and it's just temporary..other than that it's a very cheap material and you really should avoid it whenever you can. I noticed you also said they're flared. Ontop of these plugs being silicone and flared for stretching, that is a horrible idea. (Kaos Software does produce some good jewelery don't get me wrong) But stretching your ears with any type of flared plug is like automatically skipping a size because the outter flare is usually approximately one size bigger than the size you ordered. Example, if your ears are at an 8g and you buy 6g double flared plugs, you're actually forcing your ear to stretch to 4g, because that is the size of the flare. I wouldn't recommend that type of plug or material for stretching. Your best bet is to buy metal or steel, stone or glass. I've had some bad experiences with silicone for plugs in the past, and some of my friends have also. Here's some more discussions about stretching with silicone: http://forums.bodyartforms.com/forums/t/鈥?/a>Stretching with Kaos Software/silicone flares?
Dont use tapers. period. it will F up your hear. it causes little tears in your ears. if you want good healthy ears, dont use them. if you stretch with tapers or silicon, you shouldnt be stretching period. only go up a size when your ears are done and ready. also use vitamin E oil to massage them

silicone tunnels are easy to stretch with cuz you can fold them in half and jam then in. the problem is that after you put them in, the jewelry continues to expand which can cause tearing, swelling, infection and PAIN. Also, because of its porous nature, as your skin heals, it fuses to the silicone which can cause additional problems. go to a professional to get your ears stretched and be patient.
yeah you crap monkey hahahaha.
i used tapers to stretch. honestly some people say dont do it, but it was way easier then trying to stretch with plugs. it doesnt hurt as bad. id say do that.
