Say you buy an 8g expander, like this. Does that mean that the starting size is 8g, or the thickest side is 8g?

I'm not really stretching, I had 8g before but hadn't worn earrings for a while and when I went to put one in, they wouldn't go in, though 10g do - but I have more pairs in the larger size
I wish I remembered how I did this back in the day, I think I just put them in. Its making me all queesy, lol. I'm contemplating just not wearing anything for ages with the hopes it will just go back to a regular earring size.
Put it in in the shower, it'll be easier.. don't go up to the max size straight away- I know with the cone ones (called tapers I think) Miss Riot was talking about you do it over a couple of days and secure it in place with tiny rubber bands, not sure about the spiral ones. You can get some nice tapers with patterns etc. on.
i had mine up to 10mm (i dont know what that is in g) and they will shrink down to 4 or 5 if i leave them
