Fake Belly Button Rings are a perfect Solution for Younger Wearers
Due to the popularity of belly button rings, some companies have develop a “fake” or “non-piercing” navel ring. They claim to look real, fit comfortably and never fall out. In addition, they have even branched out to include other body jewelry such as fake “gauged” earrings and fake nipple rings.
To wear the fake belly button ring, a user need not have the actual piercing. This concept proves beneficial for those who cannot have an actual piercing dur to dress codes, parental permission, etc.
Fake belly button rings typically have an arm that is attached to a spring and has a flat surface on the end that will press into the skin. One simply opens the clip by pulling back the hinged arm, similar to a clip on earring. Then they will place the bottom or stationary arm inside the navel and press it to the back. Then they should gently close the clip by moving the movable arm back into position and the belly button ring will be attached.
Other fake belly rings use glue and gems to mimick the look of a real navel ring. There are even designs that utilize a sort of spring loaded mechanism to secure the belly ring. These styles are much less popular because users report poor quality, pain and difficulty keeping them in place.
Reportedly, the clip on style will fit securely during everyday wear, but are not designed to stay put in water. They are supposed to look very natural and, if worn correctly, they are not supposed to hurt.
Despite all the aforementioned perks, there are a few drawbacks associated with this kind of navel ring. They are not ideal for a person with an “outie” belly button or even an irregularly shaped belly button. In addition, they tend to be much more expensive than a traditional belly button ring available for purchase online. Fake belly button rings are sold some places for as much as $25 whereas traditional non dangling belly button rings can be as little as $3.
