So I tried stretching my ears yesterday with a 14g taper. In one ear (my left) it went fine with no resistance. My right didn't want to go through so I just stop and took out the other one out and put back my 20g regular earrings.
I just bought a 16g captive bead ring today from Bodyartforms.com.
Would it be alright to use that or should I get some 18g captive rings?
