Belly Rings FAQs: sizes, styles and details
Explore 5 quick answers about belly rings
What is the standard belly button ring size?
A frequently used navel jewelry size is 14G (1.6mm) with a 10mm (3/8-inch) wearable length. This is a common size, not a universal fit: piercing depth, anatomy and swelling can call for different measurements. Check the dimensions on each belly ring listing.
How do I measure the length of a belly button ring?
For a curved navel barbell, wearable length is generally the straight-line distance between the ends of the post, excluding the balls or decorations. Do not measure along the curve or include dangling charms. Your piercer can help confirm the needed gauge and length.
What is the difference between an 8mm and a 10mm belly ring?
These numbers typically describe the wearable barbell length: 8mm is shorter than 10mm. Both may be offered in the same 14G thickness. A shorter barbell is not necessarily better, especially when healing or swelling is involved; match the size to your piercing.
What is a floating navel ring?
Floating navel jewelry often has a lower-profile end inside the belly button with the visible decorative part above it. The style can suit some navel shapes where a larger lower ball causes pressure, but a qualified piercer should confirm suitability.
Can I wear a dangling belly button ring in a new piercing?
Dangling charms may snag or add movement, so they are generally better reserved for a fully healed piercing. The jewelry used during healing should be properly sized and suited to the placement. Ask your piercer before switching, and see the full body jewelry FAQ for care guidance.
