I haven't actually worn barbells in the piercings for years. I knew a 14g would be uncomfortable because the piercings must have shrunk. So, I was looking for something in 16g that wasn't longer than the width of my ear and would match most of my outfits. I bought one silver and one black barbell in 16g, 32mm length and it fits perfectly. The balls are 5mm, so they're not obnoxiously big and don't poke me in the side of the head when I lay on that side. Exactly what I was looking for.
