Can I wear the kaos silicone tunnels in my 4 gauge vertical hood piercing? If not, then what is suitable jewelry? I currently wear a captive ring, but it twists and pinches, and is rather large and heavy. I’m getting sick of this piece of jewelry, but i don’t know what to switch to.

I have seen silicone eyelets worn in a variety of non-ear piercings, including genital piercings. You probably won’t know for sure if that particular style and material will be comfortable for you until you actually try it. You may want to consider getting the “parylene coated” version for use in a hood piercing, as it has a less tacky surface.

Other options to reduce size would be a straight or curved barbell. In addition to being “small”, a barbell is going to tend to sit/hang different than a ring and should help increase your comfort level. To reduce weight, you could consider titanium jewelry.
