   Barbells tend to heal quicker, and reject less, whereas rings reject more easily, and prolong healing.

   The link below has all kinds of information on navel piercings. :]

   In my oppion I would say that a barbel would be better then the ring because the ring can get caugh on somthing and be ripped out easier. Also a barbel looks nicer and is easier to change.

   Definitly get the barbell. I think it’s a lot cuter and it’s easy to take off later and doesn’t get caught on many things generally. A ring sticks out and you can turn it completely around dragging bacteria into your piercing. Goodluck!

   Ring jewelry gets knocked around a lot easier than curved barbells, which can cause irritation and prolong healing.
   It is no easier to clean than a curved barbell.
   The only pro I can think of for ring jewelry (CBRs) is that some people like the way they look, and it can stop people from changing their jewelry too soon because the beads are ridiculously hard to get off.

   Curved barbells don’t get knocked around/caught on things anywhere near as much as rings.
   They are equally as easy to clean as rings (as long as you have the proper length for your anatomy).
   Cons- A lot of people are pierced with a barbell too short to accommodate for all the swelling, which can lead to problems that require the jewelry to be changed to a longer barbell.
   They are much easier to change than CBRs, so people can easily change their jewelry too soon.
