I just got my apadravya placed last week (14g). How long should I wait before I step up to a 10g or 8g?
Generally speaking, starting at a larger size than 14g would be much more practical for an apadravya piercing. This piercing is meant to take abuse, so piercing it at a larger size would give it more stability.
If you would prefer to stretch it rather than have it re-pierced at a larger size, let your piercing tell you when it is ready to upsize. Your jewellery will be tight initially, but will loosen up over time (usually a couple months or so). When you notice that your jewellery has loosened up, this is when you can taper in a slightly larger piece of jewellery. Be sure not to take drastic jumps, as this will likely damage your piercing and cause unsightly scarring as well as creating tough scar tissue that will be difficult to stretch in the future.
You can do this yourself without a taper, but it is safest to have it done for you professionally.

out of curiosity, can anyone comment on how common male genital piercing at such fine gauges is these days?
redeye on October 1st, 2009 at 12:47 ami live in indiana and most shops that i have gone to do most genital piercings at 14g unless it’s a pa then they will start at a 12g or a 10g if requested. most shops around here just don’t carry higher guage barbells long enough for ampallangs or apadravyas .
nick on October 22nd, 2009 at 2:58 pmI had my apa done about a month ago at 14g an just stretched it to a 10g myself about half an hour ago without a taper it wasn’t to bad a little uncomfortable if anything an small amount of blood next stretch i will use a taper i think just to guide it in abit easier as that was the only tricky part.
