Barbells

Straight and curved barbells are measured by the linear width from ball to ball. Circular barbells are measured by the inside diameter. 

Straight Barbell: A straight bar with a ball on each end. 

Curved Barbell: A curved bar approximately one quarter of a circle. Often used in navel piercings or when an unobtrusive piece of jewelry is desired. Also used when the width of the piercing requires such a large diameter ring as to be uncomfortable. Curved barbells are sometimes called L-Bars or Half Moon Barbells or Banana Barbells. Bent Barbell: Bent Barbells usually refer to barbells bent at an angle, not curved. Because the bend limits movement of the jewelry, bent barbells are not appropriate for new piercings. 

Circular Barbell: A circular bar approximately three quarters of a circle which can be worn in piercings for which a captive bead ring is appropriate. Circular barbells are heavier than captive bead rings and hence may not be appropriate for all new piercings. A captive bead can be inserted between the balls for aesthetics or to prevent losing the balls. Circular barbells are sometimes called Horseshoe Barbells, although some manufacturers make Horseshoe Barbells that are U-shaped rather than circular.
