Can I put a 14g belly ring into a 16g hole? Potentially yes if your piercing is fully healed. But it’s going to be a tight fit. If you want to experiment then it usually works better if you try after you’ve had a bath and dried off, as its usually easier to put piercings in at this time.
Also question is, can you stretch from 20g to 14g?
At least 3 months at each size will make each stretch easier and less likely to cause damage. With all of that said – you may be able to go from 20g to 18g to 16g fairly quickly if your piercings are well healed. If they are recent – and you haven’t worn earrings for many years, go slow!
People also ask, can I put a 14g in a 12G piercing?
No worries though- 14 and 12g are interchangeable thread patterns- meaning you can wear all your pretty and fun 14g jewelry with your 12g posts! I know those sizes sound intimidating, but they are worth it for a comfy, happy, easy healing piercing! Beyond that, most genital piercings are started at a 10-8g minimum.
What’s thicker 14g or 16g?
The lower the number, the thicker the gauge so 16g is thinner than a 14g.

What size gauge should you start with?
For the majority of people, either 16 gauge or 14 gauge is a good starting point if you have only worn regular earrings. 16 gauge is a good starting point if you never wear earrings or if you have recently had them pierced and they are just healed up.
