I agree, definitely downsize. Also, if you don't want to tape, you should go to 15mm in between 14 and 16. 2mm jumps are really too big at that size.
Are you wearing the tapers? If so, get some single-flare or no-flare plugs. Tapers are fine to use as tools but they can put uneven pressure on your ears and cause blowouts if you wear them as jewelry. You need a pair of plugs at each size.
I'm Lindsay.
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!
