Um, so like a week ago the bead of my CBR fell out. And I was unable to just hop along to my peircer. And getting it back in involved MAJOR discomfort and drama, my fathers help, nasty looking pliers, lotsa alchol sterilization, etc etc. Needless to say that hole is irritated from the incident. Today the bead fell out again. I was GENTLY cleaning off crusted food from my ring, and out it popped. I am...greatly displease.
Am planning on buying new jewelry ASAP. These arent healed yet, and peircer did say weight three months, but I honestly cant deal with this s**t, and especially dont want to deal with it when I get to my college. So yeah. Looking online, and I've narrowed down my choices to either a CBR where the bead is welded onto one side so it wont go flying off, or a spring ring. I'd prefer the spring ring because it seems simpler, and I could get if on and off myself without much hassle. Is there any reason I shouldnt? Like any drawbacks to having springs instead of CBR?
Also, can someone advice me on diameter? When I got peirced, the rings they gave me have a big one to account for swelling (dont know exact size >.<). The lip still swells some because of aformentioned irritation, but nothing major. Like it never fills up the entire diameter and lots of the time theres more space then I'd like. Should I get smaller diameter, or still get big one? Keeping in mind I dont have the money to get two sets, so whatever I get I'm stuck with. And what would be a good diameter to get? I 'm REALLY lost when it comes to those.
Edit: I have 14g snakebite lip peircings, FYI. Edit2: I got a measuring chart thing and my current jewelry seems to be 1/2". Considering going with 7/16" or 3/8" on the ones I shall order since it's smaller but not MUCH smaller.

is the spring ring
ok um, trying to put the bead was, as before, quite traumatizing for the peircing. Gave up and just tightened it without the bead, which works because the ring was large, but I'm gonna be ******** up the a** if the lip decides to swell any more. I really dont care if it's because of poor adjusting, bad bead or what. I'm officially done with CBRs, at least for my lip rings. I really have enough issues with them without ******** them up on a weekly basis because the goddamn bead keeps on falling out, my father doesnt really know what he's doing, I cant do anything at all, and I'm unable to get to my peircer.
I'm seriously about to just order the spring ring and ********. It can't be worse then this, gah.

That's interesting. Can't say I've ever seen one. Only problem I can see from it (besides maybe slipping into the piercing) would be having to keep it extra clean so bacteria doesn't build up in the spring. Hope things go better for you with these.
