Hey all! so I have had larger plugs 16-17 years. My stretches were slow and some of the larger ones happened pretty much on their own! I'm currently at 3/4 dia. and at 45 have gone up 3 sizes in the last 2 years. seems the older i get the more i like them and want them bigger. I am going to be headed to 7/8 soon. Anyone on here have larger gauges? 1/2 inch or bigger? Here is my avatar larger so you can see them.

I'm currently at 1/2 inch (~13mm). At 63 years old I don't stretch as easily as a young person and I sure don't want to have a blow-out.
Here's a close up picture when I was at 0GA. (https://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fhome.comcast.net%2F%7Edyarborough%2Fimages%2F0GATunnel.jpg&hash=511d7ee00e9299aa2515e7bbe17a28c49fa5478a)
Maybe I'll stretch more . . . who knows?

Simplyred, there is NO age limiting on self expression! My husband taught me this! you want to go bigger DO it. you're happy where you are? stay there. i LOVED 1/2 inch. my favorite plugs of all time were at 1/2. nice to meet you and express on!

dig the look. when I started in the medical profession I had to take my earrings out. never got a chance to stretch and I wish I had. not sure I would look good with your size, but I really think a 6ga would've suited me.
how big is your cartilage piercing?

Ty all! Hey Swimmerbro, I had a cart. piercing and it hurt ALL the time. eventually took it out. The piercing there now is actually a punch. They use a dermal punch and it makes a serious hole! It was punched at a 6 and immediately stretched to a 4. that stopped all bleeding. it will never close. I had it done like 10 years ago. within a week it was pain free and pretty much good to go. sounds a LOT worse than it really is.
the captive bead ring (CBR) was made at the shop it was pierced at. that gauge 4 with that small of a diameter had to be custom made. I have never taken it out. think Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom tag and release :)

I know this is an old topic, but it's still on the front page. :)
I'm going to restretch mine...I'm probably about the size of a pencil right now through each, but I used to be just under 1" for both.
Currently, I also have a nostril pierced.
