Haha, again, you should be all right. The steel tapers are perfect for stretching, and they don't seem to be too sharp (not a terrible thing if they are, but it's much less comfortable). The plugs should be fine, as well, as long as your ears are not super sensitive. I've never had a problem healing with acrylic, but more ear gunk does build up around acrylic plugs as opposed to plugs made of organic material or glass. Just make sure that you wash around your plugs every day while they're healing, as well as giving your lobes good sea salt soaks and jojoba massages, and take them out to clean them as soon as you can (don't push it if they're sore!). I think you should be fine as long as you stretch at a responsible pace and perform the aforementioned aftercare.

Why would you stretch your ears? Can't hear so well?
