Why are acrylic tapers bad?

I just went from a 6g to a 4g last night (Nov. 6). I used acrylic tapers and have heard they are bad. I just bought some steel plugs and they should be here Tuesday, in 4 days. I was wondering if it will be ok to leave the plastic in until then. I don't have any other 4g jewelery yet. I've heard bad things about acrylic and just wanted to make sure it's ok for a short period of time.Why are acrylic tapers bad?
Acrylic cannot be sterilized. And no, it is not a smart idea to leave the tapers in for more than a few hours (they're not meant to be worn as jewelry, anyways). A short period of time (as in hours) is fine, days is not.
