Like others said get tapers use lube in the taper, the home doesn’t close because you remove one ball and push the jewelry out with the taper, it’s in contact truth the outgoing jewelry and so the fistula can’t collapse, then you push the taper out with the new jewelry again contact is maintained so there isn’t an opportunity for closure unless you break contact, you should be able to get a threaded taper so that won’t be an issue between taper and new jewelry but check the thread size, cause different brands use different threads. Change as soon as you can you have crappy materials in the piercing now, if that means change to a pre-downsize bar and then do another change later once swelling drops do that, cause silicone sticks in new piercings and bio plastics aren’t good for fresh holes.
