^Unfortunately the only site that makes 3G, 5G, etc. isn't doing retail orders at the moment. But there are still plenty of 1G plugs out there which is a very important size. Even if you're taping I'd still recommend it. Try bodyartforms.com, bodyjewelleryshop.com, or crazy-factory.com. For the sites that aren't American, 1G is 7mm. :)
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

I think she knows.. She was just naming odd sizes and was using 3g,5g and 1g as examples.
