Stretch from 1/2" to 9/16" feels no different

So i just recently stretch from 1/2" to 9/16" and I know its not a huge jump so its not gonna be painful but the taper slid right through with no resistance. I put the plugs in right after again with no resistance. I'm just wondering why it felt like i was just switching to different jewelry for the same size. Anyone have any theories or had the same thing happen?

P.S. I tried to see if i could just go to 5/8" when the plugs went in so easily but no go :/

That's how stretching should be. It's not supposed to be painful and you shouldn't have to force it. Wait the normal 6 week+ period before going to 5/8".

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!
