Antenna Helix

How to Choose a Barbell

For comfortable use of the antenna helix
Please choose the best one for you.

01.

Thickness

According to the size of the earring hole
Please choose from 16G or 14G.

ゲージサイズ
* Gauge size (G) = Barbell thickness

1).16G (Diameter: 1.2mm)

A thickness that can be used even for standard pierced ears.
This is a popular gauge size.
Even for those who have pierced their ears with 14G, if you haven't worn earrings for a while, your piercing holes may have shrunk, so 16G is recommended.

2).14G (Diameter: 1.6mm)

If you had your piercing done with a 14G needle, please choose 14G.
Also, generally, those who have had cartilage piercings or body piercing holes done at hospitals tend to have 14G.

02.

Length

The thickness of the earring hole plus 1mm is comfortable.

バーベルの長さ

Piercing Hole Thickness +1mm

For easier attachment and removal of parts and cleaning of barbells, we recommend adding +1mm to the piercing hole thickness. Individual differences exist, but generally, 7mm is popular for antenna helix piercings.
* If the length does not fit, please use our Return & Exchange Service.
* If there is a possibility of swelling due to unstable holes or other reasons, we recommend adding an additional +1mm.

Material

Gentle on pierced ears
Hypoallergenic precious metals are recommended.
