Pregnancy Piercings

In 2003 Denée Forbes had a problem: she was 20 weeks pregnant and realized she could no longer keep her stainless steel navel ring due to her expanding belly. What’s a hot mama (with a navel ring) to do?

I’ll tell you what she did: after doing her research to find a product that could accommodate her and her new-found dilemma. Here’s what Business Weekly wrote:

“Through her online research, she eventually learned of a flexible, medical-grade tubing generally used in open heart surgery for blood drainage. It is nontoxic, biocompatible, and nonmetal. The tubing already had other cosmetic applications — in under-the-skin piercings, for people who want raised circles and other shapes just beneath the surface.

Using the pliable cylinder with two end-balls to cap the openings, Forbes custom-made a piercing for herself and found it the perfect solution. “It had worked out great, and I told everybody I knew about it,” Forbes says. She figured she was probably not the only mother-to-be with a pierced navel. “

Thus the birth (pun intended) of a new item: Pregnancy Piercings. Denée started selling her product on eBay and once sales started doubling each month, she decided to set up her own website, PregnancyPiercings.com.

Moms-To-Be can also get their piercing to indicate which gender they’re having:

The website also does a feature called “Belly of the Month” where customers display how they put their purchase to good use.

Well, hey, Hot Mamas continue to look hot no matter what.   Loves it!
