Nipple Piercing Size Information
Be aware that some nipple bars may come in 1.2 mm (16GA). Only order this size when you know for sure you need it. Switching from 1.6 mm to 1.2 mm can cause your piercing hole to heal back to 1.2 mm.
The length of a nipple bar really depends on the individual needs and the design of the jewellery. Someone with smaller nipples might prefer a 12 mm long bar, while someone with bigger nipples may prefer 16 mm, or even 19 mm.
It's recommended that you measure the current length of your piercing to help you decided what length to order. Keep in mind that both nipple shields and dangling nipple piercings need some extra space.

Internal v.s. External Jewellery
If you are not sure what threading is in jewellery, or why it’s important, then you might want to continue reading. Threading only really applies to most barbell types, as a shaft must be screwed into a decorative bead. The two kinds of threading are internal and external, below you can find an outline of both.
Internal
The main difference between these types of jewellery is the post at the end of either the ball or the shaft. Internally threaded jewellery has no post at the end of the shaft, so the decorative bead screws into the shaft. Internally threaded jewellery is less harsh on sensitive ears as there is no post to rub or bump off anything.
External
Externally threaded jewellery is the opposite of internally threaded, with a stud at the shafts end which screws into the ball. A few years ago, this kind of jewellery was cheaper, but that is no longer the case. The post at the end can sometimes scrape off tender or healing skin, causing discomfort, but there is a wider range of jewellery.
