Not sure if this would be bad or not. Advice?

So, I've been sitting at a 2g for about a month and a half or so, and decided I would try to put in a 0g taper. It went in part of the way, I could definitely feel a stretch, but the whole thing wouldn't slide in, so I decided to take it out. I guess it's because 0g is such a big leap compared to other stretches. Anyway, I put my old 2g silicone tunnels back in, as they are what I'm most comfortable in, but was wondering if it could have some negative repercussions, since it is silicone and it sort of is a fresh stretch even though I decided to take out the taper. What do you all think?

If your lobes are sore/irritated at all you should wear something other than silicone. It's definitely not good for healing.
Also, you might want to try finding some 1G/7mm jewelry or taping gradually up to 0G. It is a very big jump, too big for most people to make without problems.

It doesn't seem to be irritated. I'm keeping a pretty good eye on it to make sure it doesn't do anything it's not supposed to.
Yeah, I was thinking about taping. Not 100% sure what I'm doing there, but I hear a layer of Teflon tape every week and new tape every month is a pretty good method.
