What size next?

Hi Guys,

Quick question (I may have already asked this)...

I'm at 8mm/0g... what is my next stretch size? Is it 9mm or 10mm? Can I go from 8 straight to 10 or does that count as skipping a size? And then from 10 do I go to 12mm/1/2"? Obviously after a good few weeks...

Gonna try and get to 1/2" which I think would be cool. I was never gonna go bigger than 3mm originally but it's so addictive!

Cheers.

Re: What size next?

00g can actually be 3 diferent sizes depending on the jewelry, who makes it and the material. Its like 9, 9.5 and 10mms. Which can be odd when you buy jewlery. I am at a 1/2 now and most of my stuff measures 12 and 13mms. Some flares up to 14mm but that's on a pair of my glass plugs. Inbetween the 00g and 1/2 is 7/16ths/11mm. When you do the 00g stretch I start which the jewelry on the smaller side. It wasn't a really difficult stretch for me but it wasn't the easiest either.
