How to insert a captive bead ring

Before you insert your captive bead ring (CBR), make sure to wash your hands - and disinfect the piercing area to ensure no germs will come in contact with the CBR or your piercing site.  Without cleaning the captive bead ring or your hands, you have a much higher chance of your nose piercing becoming infected.

To lower the chance of germs being transfered to your CBR, make sure to hold the bead, instead of the rod when inserting the captive bead ring.  Place the end of the CBR over your piercing, and slide the captive bead ring through, and twist on the other bead to close to captive bead ring.

If you are having problems sliding the CBR through, you can use a small amount of satin soap to guide it through.  Once you have the captive bead ring in place, make sure you wash off all the excess soap.
