Hey guys,

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. Per my end of the deal I've included some photos and feedback.

Background:

I got this industrial a year ago and the piercer was high when he did it -literally high-. The bar ended up being to short for the piercing to heal and it started ot form keloids, got painful, and was prone to infection. I replaced the bar with a long 1 3/4 14 ga that provided freedom of movement for the keloids to resolve. I have had the long bar in for about 6 mo. But it wasn't very aesthetic and I wanted something clear -acrylic. After researching I came across bioflex on your site where we came to the deal of some trial bioflex in return for some feedback.

The bioflex we used was 14 ga with a variety of ways to extend it with a variety of push fit ends. I favored the straight extension instead of the push fit ball in b/t the bioflex pieces. Pros-it got great length for the industrial at 37mm. Cons-with the push fit in the center you couldn’t' thread it directly into the piercing. You had to insert one end all the way to the joint and then insert the other end in the distal piercing below. I used to 4mm standard stainless ends for appearance. Bioflex pros-incredibly comfortable, flexible, looks cool, very nice to sleep on -all of the pain of laying on the steel is gone. Cons-the push fit system made it hard to assemble -had to have my wife help- , the push fit extension took some work to get it into the industrial but has stayed very nicely, doesn't have the cool feeling of steel sliding through the skin.

I am currently working with some of the bits of bioflex to weld them together without a push fit lug in the center. I will up date you with any additional successes.

Overall the bioflex is great. It looks cool and is incredibly comfortable. I was initially worried about the push fit ends coming off easy-but it has stayed through sleep, hiking, swimming, running, and tons of activities. Thanks again for the opportunity to trial this great product and for working with me to make it happen,

Michael
