Some changes to our products and site.

It only takes a couple customer feedback to make us change our ways...because we know if 1 or 2 people take the time to email us, there's 100-200 more that have similar thoughts that don't say anything.

Introducing our NEWEST UltraFlex bar.   The pregnancy belly ring shown above is normal length, just over 1 inch, and is the most flexible, comfortable threaded bar we know of on the market.

We originally started out with the white 2 inch bars that most people are still using.  We've changed our material twice since then, and we no longer offer the 2 inch bars, as...face it... they are ridiculously long... and catch on everything under the sun.    Sure you can cut them off, but so many people don't because they are afraid of making a mistake.

The white bars were much cheaper, but not as flexible or smooth.  The new clear bars are ultra smooth and comfy. Yes...more expensive too.  The Ultras are easily 6 or 7 TIMES more expensive than the white bar, but we have strived to keep the costs low for our customers anyway.  The only prices we have increased have been our sterling silver dangles, since the silver market went sky high.

In any case, we have all three bars available in the accessories section at Maternity Piercings, in case anyone is interested in comparing them. We have also slightly changed the names.  The regular white bar which was our original 2 inch bar we used on everything, the SmoothFlex bar, which was our previous Ultra Flexibar, which we now use standard on all our non dangle times...and our newest UltraFlex bar, the best solid bar available for comfort.   As always, you can cut any of our bars to a shorter length, and you can use them with all your standard 14g balls and ends you have for your other body jewelry. 

Styles are available for everyday wear if you're not pregnant, but would like a longer length flexible belly ring for working out, horseback riding, or other sports, as well as those times of minor weight gain when those short steel bars can get very uncomfortable.

Regular and Ultra FlexiBar Comparisons

Here is an example of our two kinds of flexi bars. 
The bar on the left is what most others use exclusively.  It is a great bar and very flexible, and was our one and only original bar when we pioneered threaded PBRs.  We still use it on our acrylic styles because it holds really tight.

The bar on the right is made with our Ultra Flexibar.  Both bars are cut to about 2 inches.  The Ultra bar is softer, and noticeably more flexible than the regular bar.  Ultra bars are standard on most of our dangles.  However, because they are also about 5 times more expensive, we do cut these to about 1 inch, which is the length most people will cut their pregnancy belly rings, and should suffice for the entire pregnancy.  However, extra bars up to 2" are available in our Accessories & Parts section.
While we do have wholesalers out there, most will acknowledge our brand on their site.  However, there are some "copycat" sites that seem to have the same or similar designs, but do not use the same quality products as we do.  If you have questions, let us know.
