You don't wear tapers as jewelry. They thin out the middle of your lobe which may stop you from stretching up later. If you're at 12ga, you buy a 10ga taper. You only need one because after you use it for stretching up, you put a plug in.

How long do you need to wait before you can start stretching your ear lobe with plastic tapers after it has been pierced?

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.
