How it differs from the centre one

Less tissue under the jewellery and a shorter lever — the ball ends up between the teeth more often, so long bars are not worn here at all.

Sizing

A straight 10–12 mm barbell at 1.6 mm with small ends.

Migration

Tissue near the edge moves more, so the channel can shorten over time — take the jewellery out before it cuts through.

Care for the first two weeks

Cold soft food and a rinse after every meal. Swelling lasts three to five days — that is why the first barbell is a long one. Skip alcohol, spicy food and hot drinks until it goes down.

Size and material

Material	316L steel — 4 models. Cheaper, corrosion-resistant, suitable for a healed piercing. For the first jewellery titanium is the better choice.
Thickness	1.2 mm — 4 models, 1 mm — 1 model. The thickness must match the one the piercing was made with.
Bar length	10 mm — 4 models, 6 mm — 4 models, 8 mm — 4 models, 25 mm — 1 model. A longer bar is needed while the swelling lasts, a shorter one — for a healed piercing.
Thread	External — 4 models.
