Belly bars are great alternative to captive bead rings

When you get your navel pierced, you will most likely come home with a captive bead ring because it’s easy to clean and is lends itself to the healing process better than any other type of jewelry in this area of the body. But by the time you’ve had it in the minimal six months usually needed for healing; you’ll be ready to try belly bars or some other type of belly button jewelry for a change of pace. Belly bars come in two different styles – the straight barbell and the curved barbell.

Curved belly bars are more commonly worn, and are simple barbells that have small balls or ornamental ends (dice, koosh balls, etc.) that screw onto either end of the bar. The curved shape fits more easily into a standard belly button piercing. If, however, you have a horizontal navel piercing that’s a surface piercing across the top of the navel, without the barbell actually going into and then out of the belly button itself, straight belly bars will also work very well.

When you are ready to replace your original piercing jewelry in your navel piercing, you may want to return to the piercing parlor where you originally got the piercing done and discuss the best belly bars for your particular piercing. Your piercer will be able to advice you on styles and types that will be both attractive and comfortable.
