Any tips for ear stretching?

I've recently started stretching my ears with tapers, yes, tapers, that's all I can afford. I tried once before with dead stretches but it didn't work out well, I started bleeding and it often got irritated. I'm on my forth month and have a 3 mm in one ear and a 2,5 mm in the other. Are there any tips or advices that anyone could give me?
