What is Bioplast Body Jewelry?

Bioplast body jewelry is showing up from more and more manufacturers.  It is especially popular for use with navel rings. This alternative to surgical steel and titanium body jewelry offers several new benefits.

Most importantly, bioplast belly button rings can be cleaned and sterilized very easily.  A piercer should autoclave any body jewelry before using it in a piercing.  This means that he or she will kill any germs or infections by heating the navel ring or other body jewelry to a very high temperature.  It can sustain temperatures up to 121 degrees Celsius (close to 250 degrees Fahrenheit).  These scalding temperatures will easily kill any bacteria and ensure that the belly button rings are clean and safe to wear.

In addition to being so sterile, this material is more flexible than titanium and surgical steel navel rings.  This allows for a greater range of movement and will reduce any tearing or stretching in the navel area.  Rigid metallic belly rings don't move around as easily and can potentially cause the fresh piercing to rip. This not only leads to infection, but it can also be very painful.

Because bioplast is a bio-compatible material, it is less likely than metallic belly button rings to be rejected by the body.  When the body rejects a new piercing, it will become infected and not heal properly.  This new style of belly ring drastically reduces this effect and allows the belly button piercing to heal faster and with less swelling. 

Belly button ring wearers are especially grateful for bioplast navel rings because this style of belly rings is available in different colors.  Prior to bioplast, the only synthetic material available was PTFE which was not available in color.

Because it is "self-threading," navel ring ring retailers and manufacturers are fond of bioplast body jewelry.Consumer don't usually acknowledge this, but belly button ring manufacturers appreciate this feature.  A self-threading belly button ring is one that can be cut to any size.  Simply cut the barbell to a certain length and screw on the balls. They will thread the ends of the bioplast barbell themselves.  This is important because it allows for more flexibility in terms of length and it very valuable when creating pregnancy belly button rings. 

They are typically about the same price as metal belly rings of similar styles.Because they offer so much more for the same price, bioplast is said to be a much better material for belly button rings than metal.
