I have my ears up to a 4g right now andddd i bought these absolutely beautiful gauges that were 4g double flared and i need some advice on what the hell they even are and how to get them into my ears. Well obviously i would use a taper but is there like a certain kind of taper that would help it heal faster so that i can finally wear my adorable gauges?

Basically you'll need to let your ears stretch a tiny bit more. You just pop the plug in, which is why you need that little bit of extra elasticity so the flare part can go through. If you just got to a 4 you should be able to in a few days-a week, but don't force it. It shouldn't b too hard to put in your ear.

I actually have been at a 4g for several months now but the double flares i got aren't elastic

I tried to like force them in but my ears started bleeding and didn't stop for like half an hour so that's when i figured i needed to get a taper.

A taper would only help if it's at the same size as the larger part of the flare. If you don't feel like putting money into tapers just tug on your lobes as much as u can to help stretch them out, or hang Christmas bulbs from your ears...that works too and 'tis the season lol

You should be able to soon, but like I said, don't rush it. The last thing you want is to almost be there then blow out your ear or somethin lol
