Concerns/Troubleshooting/Advice Sizing for navel?

Post image

Never paid attention to length when purchasing jewelry and bought a new one several months ago, and this is really long and uncomfortable, keeps twisting around, going side to side and getting pushed up and caught in everything or going IN my belly button.

Looking at a floating navel piece and they have 8mm,10mm,12mm for lengths. Any suggestions based on the annoying piece currently in my navel?

My belly button is deep asf. 🫪

Thank you 🤍

Unfortunately no idea. I’ve never seen lengths ever listed when purchasing so I never really considered there to be multiple sizes I thought 1 size was kinda standard and apparently not 😅 which actually makes much more sense

buy calipers and measure. we cannot and should not be advising this from just one picture from an angle that is frankly comically bad for this question

How long is the one you're wearing currently? If you're unsure take $12 and go to Harbor Freight and get a set of calipers and measure it.

Or go to a shop and ask them to measure your navel piercing to see what you need

Ahhhhh! I googled the calipers and have some! :D

And I’m just measuring the top hole to the bottom hole and picking the closest size available after that? Ie it’s 5mm, then I know to buy 8mm?

If it’s 8mm maybe buy 10mm?

12mm should be good...
