Belly button jewelry: how to choose the perfect piece of jewelry and take care of the piercing properly?

Belly button earrings are a popular way to express your style and enhance your body's beauty. Whether you're looking for a minimalist and stylish piece for everyday wear or a more striking design for a day at the beach, choosing the right belly button is important for both style and comfort. In this blog post, we'll go over how to choose the right size belly button, what kind of jewelry is suitable for an active lifestyle, and how a belly button ring can serve as a romantic gift for your loved one.

How do I choose the right length of belly button ring?

The fit of a belly button ring is one of the most important things to consider. The right length of the stem not only increases comfort, but also prevents irritation and speeds up the healing of the piercing. In general, the length of the stem of a belly button ring varies between 6 and 12 mm, but the most common sizes are 8 mm and 10 mm.

• A longer stem (10mm or more) is generally recommended for new piercings because swelling is common during the first few weeks and a longer stem makes it easier to keep the piercing clean.
• For healed piercings, you can choose a shorter stem if the stem is visible from the initial piercing. The shorter stem is to ensure (8 mm- 9mm) that the jewelry fits nicely and comfortably without any extra movement. Always choose jewelry according to your piercing, piercings are always individual and what suits your friend may not suit you.
• If you are unsure, we recommend measuring the length of your current navel ring or seeking professional advice.

When choosing a belly button ring, keep in mind that a ring that is too short can put pressure on the piercing and cause irritation, while a stem that is too long can cause unnecessary movement and chafing. The right size belly button ring will ensure that you can wear it carefree and comfortably.

What kind of belly button ring is suitable for an athlete?

If you are active and exercise regularly, it is important to choose a belly button ring that does not hinder your movement. When playing sports, body movements can cause stress on the jewelry, so a comfortable and safe model is the primary choice.

• Titanium jewelry: Titanium is a lightweight, hypoallergenic, and highly durable material that is ideal for athletes. Solid, round-shaped designs are best suited for an athletic lifestyle.
• Flexible belly rings: Belly rings made of bioplastic are soft and flexible, which reduces the risk of chafing and makes them ideal for sports.
• Navel rings: Instead of a traditional straight stud, rings can be a better option because they move with the body and reduce the risk of the jewelry getting caught on clothing or sports equipment.

Athletes should also remember that in some sports (e.g. contact sports or gymnastics) the wearing of belly button jewelry may be prohibited for safety reasons. In these cases, a transparent bioplastic temporary jewelry can be used to keep the piercing open without attracting attention.

Navel ring as a romantic gift

A belly button ring can be a great and personal gift for your loved one. It shows attention and thoughtfulness, especially if you choose a piece of jewelry that suits the recipient's style and preferences.

Why is a belly button ring a great gift?

• It is a unique and special gift that is perfect for an anniversary or as a surprise for your loved one.
• Jewelry can symbolize romance and intimacy, especially if you choose a design that includes hearts.
• Navel jewelry is available in a variety of precious and jewelry metals, such as silver, gold, and titanium, so you can choose something unique and durable.

When choosing a belly button ring as a gift, pay attention to the recipient's preferences – does he or she like simple and minimalist jewelry or more showy and ornate designs? One popular gift tip is to choose a belly button ring in the recipient's favorite color, which adds personal meaning to the gift.
