Thereof, can you gauge your nipples?
Nipples: If you like your nipple piercings, you‘ll probably love them as they are stretched larger. Nipples can be stretched to huge sizes with time and patience. … Navels: Since navel piercings take such a long time to heal, it can be 3-4 years before some navels are ready to be stretched.
Beside this, can I put a 16g in a 14G piercing?
Yes all day you can. However, the 16g post is thinner than the 14g. Downsizing is not an issue unless you’ve got a large collection of 14g jewelry that you wish to wear again. Downsizing to 16g is safe as long as it is healed.
How do you make your nipples stand out more?
You may be able to coax your nipple out by gently stimulating the nipple yourself. Try gently rolling your nipple between your thumb and finger or touching your nipple with a cold, damp cloth. You can also try the Hoffman technique, which was created to help women breastfeed with flat or inverted nipples.
