How do dangle earrings stretch earlobes?
The ear lobe is essentially nothing more than a little bit of tissue and fat. So as with all things related to gravity, if the lobe becomes weighed down, it will stretch or drop. In regards to dangle earrings, excessive use leads to the ear lobe leads to the tissue being stretched out and the lobs stretching.

Do you need to get a larger size for taper earrings?
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 do you stretch your ears without a taper?
First I applaud you for not wanting to use tapers. They are primitive stretching tools that cause damage to the inner fistula due to the fact that you are trying to overstretch, and can then tear or even completely split your lobe if you don't know what you are doing. Also, to use tapers takes away from the spirit and the whole intent of stretching your ears which is to be done slowly over the span of a life as opposed to walking into a piercing studio and requesting that your 00 Gauge ears be upgraded to around an 1 ½" usually by way of a scalpel or a dermal punch. The best method to use is what is known as "tape wraps" wherein you will stretch your ears to an adequate size of around a 00 Gauge of which you will wear a plug in your ear of this size. You will then let this piercing heal adequately and then start to wrap just a few layers of tape around the plug about once a month. This will let your ears slowly adapt to the new size and you will be doing it by millimeters at a time which will be completely painless and problematic if you are doing it correctly. If your ears hurt at all when you are stretching them, they're simply not ready. Also to stretch your ears like this very much so minimizes the chances of "blowouts" on the back of the ear, in where the skin of the back side of the ear stretched around the plug will look puckered and bulbous as well as it prevents thinning the bottom of your lobe from stretching too fast, which makes the stretching an obvious rushed affair from someone not really committed to it. Depending on how big that you want to go, I always advise that you pierce your ears just below the shell of cartilage above the lobe. When you stretch, the skin of the lobe is pushed downwards, so the bigger you want to go, the higher the initial piercing has to be. The best tape to use by far is PTFE tape, which is usually sold to and referred to as "bondage tape". This is very good to use since it has NO adhesive to it whatsoever, but rather sticks only to itself and can be used over and over. The next best thing to use to this is Teflon tape.

What to do about an old ear lobe piercing 2nd hole that gets a lump inside everytime you wear an ear ring?
Sounds like scar tissue. Use vitamin E oil and massage your earlobe with it. Do it once a day and see if that helps break up the tissue. Good luck :)
How do you know if an ear piercing is becoming embedded?
Piercing guns, piercing guns, piercing guns. When will people learn to quit using them, better yet when will people learn to use them correctly? If you cant get your cleaned finger nail between the stud front and your ear lobe then the stud is too tight and needs to be loosened, ease the backing off the back of the stud and move the stud so you have space between the stud face and the ear lobe. If worst comes to worst take the studs out and replace them with good quality sleeper rings.
What is the best lube to use when stretching your ears?
You can use vitamin E oil, Extra virgin olive oil, or any water-base lubricant. Vitamin E oil is pretty cheap and worked pretty well for me. Its also really moisturizing and good for lobe massages :D
