I just stretched to a 2g! Right now I have some acrylic tapers in, cause I don't have any 2g plugs but I plan on ordering some. Anyways is it safe to keep my acrylic tapers in until I buy some plugs? Thanks!

Acrylic isn't suitable for long term use, especially on a fresh stretch. If I were you I wouldn't have used the taper until you had your tunnels/plugs, try and get a better material (glass, metal, ect) as soon as possible.

I completely agree with Leigh. Acrylic harbors bacteria so your more likely to get an infection. Glass , Stone , Metal are good types of plugs to use

Some people are fine with wearing acrylic, but some people react badly to it. I'd be more worried about wearing the tapers, especially at 2G. The hole is weakened after a stretch and if your tapers are getting knocked around (mostly while you sleep) you're at higher risk for a blowout or tear.

I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
