both...just move the ring around. you should have a circle shaped ring in, not a barbell correct? I normally rolled the ring like I would roll a wheel on a bike, does that make sense? the I would move the circle to the right to lay flat against my skin and then all the way to the left to lay flat against my skin. You do this so that the skin doesnt start healing to the ring and ultimately grow around it.

i think i have a brabell in though. and i cant really twist it in a circle bcuz for some reason it wont work. when im cleaning it i move it up once and then down and i keep doing that.. i just dont want to move it around too much bcuz i had a friend that got her belly pierced and she twisted it around and she said it hurt alot so she had to take it out

If you have a hoop, it will be a complete circle, just as alkaline said. It should have been pierced with a hoop.

If you have a barbell, keep doing as you are doing. Move it up once, down once, and rotate it fully once. You should play with it as little as possible, thats why I say only do these things once a day. How fresh is the piercing? Twisting it may cause it to be a little tender at first, but it will eventually get better. If you dont twist it, the skin can actually grow to the piercing, and if this happens, taking the piercing out can be very difficult.

Like I said, at first when you twist it is normal for it to be a little tender. This is no reason to take the piercing out. Just make sure before you touch it to twist it, wash your hands really good with antibacterial soap to prevent germs and bacteria from getting into the piercing.

I also found that saline solution and sea salt work wonders for the healing process. Helkps your body believe that the piercng is meant to be there. Did you change out the piercing to a barbell?

I had to spread the rep, but thats an excellent question. Changing the jewelry too early is a bad idea.

Just make sure if you do use saline or salt soaks to not over-do it. Too much of this stuff can cause the piercing to dry out.

What wont work about it? What is preventing you from twisting it? That is odd.

Moving it up and down should be okay for now, but when you have your piercer change it for you try and get a barbell that is a little more twist friendly.

Haha that could be it. If you are able to move it up and down then that is a good sign that the skin is not growing around the piercing.
