Okay kiddo, sometimes people like to wear special kinds of jewelry in their body, like in their ears, nose or belly button. But these parts of our body come in different sizes, right? Just like we wear different sizes of shoes or clothes, we need to choose the right size of body jewelry too.
Body jewelry comes in different gauges, which is a way to measure the thickness of the piece of jewelry. The smaller the number, the thicker the jewelry. So a piece of jewelry that is 16 gauge is thicker than a piece of jewelry that is 18 gauge.
Then there's also length and diameter. These measure how long and wide the jewelry is, and that's why it's important to choose the right size for your body. If the jewelry is too small, it won't fit, and if it's too big, it might cause pain or irritation.
So, it's like when you get a new toy - you need to choose the right size based on how big or small it is. When choosing body jewelry, you need to know how thick, long, and wide the jewelry needs to be so it fits perfectly in your body and looks great!
