Are they steel or another type of metal? Metal plugs can get really smelly. And oddly enough, my ears smelled a lot worse at smaller sizes than they do now! Anyway, what are you using to clean them now? In my experience the best thing to do is just take them out in the shower and wash them and your ears (only if your ears are healed) with whatever you're washing your body with. Or just clean them at the sink with some antibacterial hand soap.

Also, you should probably wait a few more weeks before going to 12G. It may seem okay to go faster at smaller sizes, but they're actually more important since they set the foundation for your stretching. Just be careful and listen to your body.
