Navel rings work better if navel is “just right”

Navel rings are a tricky business, made more complicated by the wide range or differences in anatomy from one person to another. You may have heard that there is often problem with migration of navel rings, and this can be true, particularly for people who have shallow belly buttons. Without enough flesh to work with and get some depth, the natural tendency of the body may push the ring or curved barbell (the two best choices for a new navel piercing) out of the flesh.

The opposite is also true – if you have a very deep belly button, an inexperienced piercer can get carried away and give you a piercing that is too deep. With this, you end up with navel rings that don’t show properly because the lower ends end up being “sucked into” the belly button itself. This creates three problems – it is more difficult to keep a deep navel piercing clean, the navel rings don’t show like you want them to, and it can be distinctly uncomfortable to have your navel rings jabbing you from the inside and getting stuck in there.

It’s always best to ask your piercer for his honest opinion about whether your belly button is suited to navel rings before going through with the procedure. Done properly, navel rings are sexy and fun, and can look and feel just right.
