Why shouldnt i wear tapers in my ear instead of gauges?

I never heard then you shouldn't wear tapers instead of a plug or tunnel...?? I know its super uncomfortable at night, and if you have a straight taper it can get caught on your pillow..so maybe that is why...but I see people wearing them all the time. You should Definitely use a taper to stretch, but I always put in a plug after it stretches because they are more comfortable
