Wow ok. You don't know what is the wearable ? Its the area where your lobe is on the plug, between the flares/o-rings. Its normal for it to be between 6 and 14 mm.

If you're about to stretch then you really don't want to be putting double flares in there :/ You should wait until they're fully healed, and then wait another week or two until they become flexible enough. If you try to force double flares through fresh stretches, chances are you'll end up with a blow out :/

I would recommend a tunnel or o-ring plugs, or at the very worst top-hats hahahaha!

Good luck with the stretching anyway!! =]

Double flares aren't meant for stretching, and double flares are also gonna be REALLY hard to get in at 12G. If you have a look around you might be able to find a single-flare version of the plugs you want.
