I'm really happy with this ring! The first one I received had an issue with the spring, but BAF sent me a new one right away, and it's perfect. The ball is secure, but also easy enough to remove that it isn't a big struggle. I'm still stretching my conch and I'll definitely order again in a larger guage when the time comes.

i do love the septum, i realized i don't love the spring loaded ball, it is sometimes difficult to put in (more difficult than the screw ones for me). I also don't love you can slightly see the steel spring balls on the sides when it is in place. Quality of metal is great and size was perfect for me.

I got this to use for a PA. It was the first steel jewelry I tried. I was concerned about the weight being uncomfortable, but it worked out great for me. I plan to get more of this type of jewelry as I stretch up to larger sizes.

I really enjoy the sheen and finish. They're beautiful. I hope this will come in 1/2" or smaller diameter in the future, since it's slightly bigger for a septum (which is what I'm wearing it as) than I'd like it to be. My only nitpick was the captive beads on both (I bought two) are quite tough to pop in and out. I know it'll become easier with use, but this is honestly the first time in quite a while I had issues with the captive beads.

Very cool like the gold they're coming out with now. Years ago they just had silver, so it's a nice to have a change. And your prices are reasonable compared to shops that over charge. Thank you from happy new customer!

I've been wearing this in my PA for a while and it's fantastic. It's not necessarily obvious, but the cross sections on the ends of the ring are ovals, not circles, and the edges are slightly rounded so it's easier to comfortably insert than a standard circular barbell. The captive bead is easy enough to pop out but it's definitely not coming out on its own. At 0g, the piece is about 1.1 oz (31 g) so I don't wear it all the time, but the bead makes it easy to swap it out for the 2g version I also have on hand.

Best style of CBR makes getting it in and out so easy and very secure

Question:

I want to purchase this for my PA, should I be worried about the captive bead coming out during intercourse?

Answer:

Hi there! Yes, the bead could, and I think probably would, come out during intercourse, and I would not wear it in a PA while having any sort of penetrative intercourse. It's secure enough for daily wear, but with lubrication and a lot of friction I wouldn't count on it staying in place.

Question:

Looking at 4ga 5/8" for slowly re-stretching my lobes. Is there any weight to these at that size?

Answer:

Hi there! The 4g 5/8" weighs approximately 10.6 grams.

Question:

Does the colored version have a coating on it and if so what material was used?

Answer:

All the colors except the silver are PVD plated with a titanium alloy, specifically titanium nitride.
