Okay, this is a stupid question, but I don't know who else to ask - are you supposed to wear tapers by putting the skinny end through front to back so the long part is behind the ear? I've been at 8g for about a month, and today bought 6g tapers. After a bath I put the new tapers in, and they went right up to the end with just a bit of resistance - I was surprised, as I thought I'd have t work them slowly up over time since I was told the jump from 8 to 6 is major (and I'm a wimp). Anyway, instead of having them half-way through, they're all the way in. And since they ache now (a couple hours later), I don't want to switch them to another shorter 6g plug I was saving till they don't hurt anymore.
Also, are the tapers a bit smaller than the horns and plugs? I have 6g horns I've be saving also till I could wear them and they seem thicker than the 6g tapers. Oh, I did ask the salesperson to double-check the gauge on the tapers when I bought them to be sure they're 6g.
Thanks in advance! :)
