hiya

i got a centre lip (not chin, on the lip line in the centre of my bottom lip) piercing over a year ago. i would la-la-la-la-love to be able to wear a ring in it; however, the problem is my lips are quite full! i know that might sound strange. i wear the barbell i was pierced with, because it fits really comfortably. (even though it was the longest one available, when i got it pierced the swelling was almost too much for it).

wearing a cbr (which is just annoying to take on and off like i have to) or one that just closes without the ball really hurts, because the correct gauges are not large enough in diameter. (and i don’t want to stretch it)

my question is (apologies for the long story): would a circular barbell (with the gap between the ends) be more comfortable?

many many thanks, you beautiful people

A circular barbell could very well be an option to solve the issue you are having. They will also tend to be easier to work with than a CBR or a continuous ring.

Another thing to consider is that, even at smaller gauges, CBR’s are available in a wide range of sizes. So, just because the place you buy your jewelry doesn’t stock the size you need, it doesn’t mean they couldn’t order it or you couldn’t seek it out elsewhere.
