Important sizing information
Body jewellery sizing can vary depending on anatomy, piercing placement, and healing stage.
The information on this page is intended as a general guide only.
For the most accurate fit we always recommend consulting a professional piercer, especially for new or healing piercings.

Understanding Labret Post Length
Labret posts are measured by the wearable length of the bar, not including the threaded or threadless end.
The correct length depends on several factors including:
- Piercing placement
- Individual anatomy
- Jewellery style
- Whether the piercing is fresh or healed
For this reason we recommend confirming your post length with a professional piercer before purchasing jewellery.
