Ball's come off my nipple piercing. I'm going to order a surgerical steel bar off Prime but what size bar do they insert?

I had the same happen to me. My bar is 1.6 mm diameter, can't remember what length. I just ordered new (sparkly) balls from piercing mania and left the original bar in situ.

I’d just order new balls if you can. If not you could take your bar out and measure it. I used to just guess and buy a nipple bar. I think they pierce them with a fairly standard size

I'd rather not take them out as im worried they'll get infected. Not sure if standard is 14 or 16. Of course it happens over New Years when everywhere will be shut to get a new one 🫠.

Get a bioplast one (well, it'll be a pack, most likely), as sometimes it can be difficult to insert a new titanium bar, but they're much easier because they're flexible and don't scratch the inside of the piercing. It'll likely be a 16 you've got in, though.
