Due to the popularity of belly button rings, some companies have develop a “fake” or “non-piercing” navel ring. These belly rings are supposed to look just like the real thing, be pain free, and stay on with ease. 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. Wearers will pull the movable arm back and hold the clip open. To attach it, the wearer will set the bottom of the fake ring against the belly button and push it back to a position that mimicks a real navel ring. Then they should gently close the clip by moving the movable arm back into position and the belly button ring will be attached.
There are some styles that require a person to glue a gem to the navel to create the look of a belly button ring. Others have a spring loaded system that attach the non-piercing belly button ring. These styles are much less popular because users report poor quality, pain and difficulty keeping them in place.
These faux belly button rings are not made to stay on in water, but manufacturers claim that they will stay on during nearly every other day to day activity. They supposedly look real and cause no pain, if worn correctly.
There are a couple of drawbacks to these clip on belly button rings. 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.
