ok so i need someone that know alot about ear gauging to answer this. im at 0 right now. i go and buy 00 tapers, but they are BARELY bigger. they basically slide right threw my ear. (that was not the case going from 2 to 0) do you think they packaged it wrong, or are 00 just barely bigger then 0?

thanks!

18g 1.0 mm 5/127"
16g 1.2 mm 3/64"
14g 1.6 mm 1/16"
12g 2 mm 5/64"
10g 2.4 mm 3/32"
8g 3.2 mm 1/8"
6g 4 mm 5/32"
4g 5 mm 3/16"
2g 6 mm 1/4"
0g 8 mm 5/16"
00g 10 mm 3/8"
000g 11 mm 7/16"
12 mm
12.7 mm 1/2"
14 mm 9/16"
16 mm 5/8"
19 mm 3/4"
22 mm 7/8"
25 mm 1"

So a 00 is 1/16" bigger than a 0 gauge

they're not much bigger. you could probably skip a size since they already slide right through. that means they've probably already stretched enough for that size. go ahead and go up.

00 isnt much bigger than 0

but keep in mind most people say 2 to 0 is the hardest stretch

and sorry this is just a pet peeve
but theyre called plugs

not gauges
gauge is a measurement

and the actual word for your ears is stretched
i have stretched ears, not gauged

sorry jus bugs me
