How to establish your preferred length for belly jewellery.
The listed length (inches" or millimetres as shown above) refers to the distance between the balls. It is the length of the piercing shaft in fractional inches/millimeters and not the length of the full belly jewellery.
If you are unsure what size you are, measure a piece of navel jewellery that currently fits you correctly and assess which size shown below will best fit. TIP: Most professional belly piercings are done at the standard 10mm to 11mm lengths. If your piercing was done sometime ago your piercing may have shrunk to a smaller size over the years.
NOTE: When you are initially pierced, due to anticipated swelling, your piercer will most likely use a size 12mm bar. This is to allow space for your swollen skin during the healing time. Once this healing process settles down (typically within 6 months give or take) your navel ring size should most likely go back to a standard 10mm. If at any stage you are uncertain, pop in and ask your piercer, I'm sure they will be able to assist.
For non-standard size piercings, we have a collection of custom sizeable navel rings here.

Pregnancy / Maternity Belly Button Ring Size Information
As your belly grows, your navel piercing stretches. During this time, it is best to wear a flexible PTFE or Bio Flex belly ring to avoid irritation.
Tummy Toys pregnacy belly rings are a standard size 14 gauge - as per above sizing and are sold in the following lengths. Anything shorter is not recommended as you can optionally cut these belly rings to a smaller size anyway if they are far too long for your piercing. Our pregnancy belly rings are self threading and your purchase from The Belly Ring Shop will include instructions on how to do this. For threading assistance please feel free to contact us.
| Length | Duration | Sizable? |
| 14mm | Up to 7 months | Yes |
| 19mm | Up to full term | Yes |
| 20mm | Up to full term | Yes |
Gauge - width of the shaft (eg. 14g)
Navel jewellery is measured by gauges. The higher the gauge the smaller the piercing. 14g is the standard size that fits most piercings. To go up to 12g (and wider) you will need to have your piercing stretched.
The majority of navel rings sold at The Belly Ring Shop are available in the standard 14g size unless otherwise specified. We have various alternative sizes available in the custom resizable collection here.
16g is actually a smaller piercing gauge then 14g. Often people who leave their piercing without jewellery for too long end up switching to a 16g as their piercing partially closes, however there are far less choices in belly button rings in a 16g so retaining your 14g piercing is much more beneficial.
Refer to the chart below for specific details.
| Gauge | Millimeter | Inches |
| 16g | 1.2mm | 3/64" |
| 14g (standard) | 1.6mm | 1/16" |
| 12g | 2mm | 5/64" |
| 10g | 2.4mm | 3/32" |
| 8g | 3.2mm | 1/8" |
| 6g | 4mm | 5/32" |
| 4g | 5mm | 3/16" |
| 2g | 6mm | 1/4" |

| 000g | 10mm |

When cleaning this type of material do NOT use alcohol or any chemical based cleaning agents as these will crack and damage your jewellery. Simply rinse in warm water with a generic disinfectant hand soap.
TIP: Try to avoid over screwing any PTFE balls as making these too tight can cause them to break or crack.
How to Size PTFE Wire Belly Rings
The best thing about PTFE wire belly bars is that they are easily resized to a desired length. To adjust, use a pair of scissors and cut the bar on a slight angle at the required length. Using a surgical steel ball, screw it on to the newly cut edge with firm pressure and the PTFE bar will re-thread itself. If you wish to fit your wire with a PTFE ball instead of a surgical steel one you can swap it back over once the thread has been created.

PIERCING CHANGE OVER TIPS
Pregnancy belly rings are preferable when your navel starts to stretch or pop, this typically occurs around the middle of the second trimester. The PTFE material used for maternity jewellery is totally flexible which makes it very comfortable during pregnancy and also assists to prevent any snagging or pinching. Additionally, these choices can also be selected with 100% PTFE materials (no steel) so that you may wear the jewellery during scans and in some instances also during surgery.
As your baby grows larger you'll start to notice that the standard sizes no longer fit, rather than removing your jewellery and risking your piercing to close over, pregnancy belly rings can be used instead so that you can resume wearing navel rings again post pregnancy.
We recommend the 1 inch length during the 5-7 month mark and some mums may find they need an even longer length in the later part of their pregnancy.
- Step 1: Use a disinfectant hand soap to wash your hands, your navel piercing, and your belly ring.
- Step 2: Simply unscrew the top ball of your belly ring and insert the belly bar shaft through the pierced opening within your navel cavity. Take care not to graze or poke your piercing, take your time to ensure the belly ring gently moves through the piercing until you see it surface at the top of your belly button.
- Step 3: Screw on the top ball, to prevent losing your ball, ensure that the ball is reasonably tight however take care not to over tighten as this could make it difficult to loosen when you next remove the navel jewellery.
Optional: Sizing your belly ring
The best thing about PTFE belly bars (aside from the comfort) is that they are easily resized to a desired length. To adjust, use a pair of scissors and cut the bar on a slight angle at the required length. Using a surgical steel ball, screw it on to the newly cut edge with firm pressure and the PTFE bar will re-thread itself. You can then replace the steel ball with a plastic ball if desired.
