Thanks

I just now noticed it doesn't show my lip...hahahaha
Oops.
I've been using tapers for almost ten years...It doesn't cause a problem for me. I've already been grilled by a bunch of people about it that just recently started stretching and I just had to ignore them because I have been doing this for years. I applaud you and thank you for not being all douchebaggish about it, though! Thanks for advising me

I also am using these tapers because I spent 20 bucks on a stretching kit, but it was all tapers. So I'm getting my money's worth out of it.
&....I did just buy some plugs. They are the ying yang plugs from BJS. But, since they are acrylic (At least I think they are...) I am going to put some Teflon tape around them (have to anyway - I am still stretching to 9/16ths) and so I am very excited about this. Yay!
