Worn in: primarily designed for the navel. Most common size: 14G (3/8” or 7/16” long) Circular Barbell: Circular Barbells (Horse-shoe) are similar to Captive Bead Rings (CBR) in the fact that they can be worn just about anywhere. They are easier to use because they have two balls on each end that are threaded on. Worn in: ears, navel, nipple, labret, eyebrow Most common size: 16G (3/8” or 7/16” length) Labret / Monroe: Have a flat disk that is attached to the post (unless you get it internally threaded in which both ends unscrew). The ends cab be changed out. Worn in: tongue, around the mouth Most common size: 16G (5/16” or 3/8” length) Curved Barbell: Curved shaft with balls that thread on to each end. They are the preferred choice for the eyebrow to help reduce migration. They are also great for piercings where you wore a captive bead ring and now want to switch to a new piece of jewelry. Worn in: eyebrow, navel, nipples Most common size: 16G for eyebrows 5/16” or 3/8” length Captive Bead Rings (CBR): Captive Bead Rings are pretty much the “anywhere” jewelry. They are the most commonly worn. They hold a dimpled bead in place through tension that you pop in and out. The bead is dimpled and basically the ends of the ring snap into the dimples on the bead. Most common size: 18G & 16G (length 3/8” and 7/16”) Worn in: ears, navel, nipple, labret, eyebrow Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: X8 Body Hardware body jewelry is USA made and CNC machined using 316L surgical stainless steel, 6AL4V titanium or POLY-FLEX medical grade polycarbonate plastic.
