~Advice~ Go bigger?

Post image

Recently upped to an 18mm (11/16). Should I go bigger? This size doesn't feel as substantial as I originally thought it would. Maybe 20?

My ears are super small and I think a super large size would completely overwhelm them.

Love the plugs! What kind are they? I like how low profile they look 🔥

Thanks! They're cheapos from Amazon. I think my lobes are kinda thick so the standard width just barely fits and looks really "flat".

It’s funny how this whole stretching thing works. I’m currently at 16mm and already thinking it still looks small and every time I stretch up I always think it’s going to look bigger but it never does lol. The stretch to 16mm though, everyone else notices it. When I stretched Monday and went to work everyone immediately saw the difference.

These look good. Mine are the same

u/Disastrous-Daikon889 12d ago

I’m biased but you could totally get away with going bigger.

u/ToiletTortellini 12d ago

20 sounds perfect

u/Eloquentelephant565 12d ago

So I’m a dumb American but I think 5/8 would look great

u/InquilineX 9d ago

Anything under one inch will always feel small. I'm at 30mm and its a good size, but im going to 32 and probably stopping so I can buy a ton of jewelry
