Navel piercings use either captive bead rings. circular barbells, or curved barbells for the initial healing. Curved barbells with or wothout jewels in the beads are recommended for faster stronger healings.

Healing time is usually 3 to 6 months and may take up to a year to fully season. Jewelry should not be changed until 3 months and excessive pressure( tight pants/jeans) should be avoided for the first month or two.
