Not plastic/acrylic, its too porous for a new piercing. You can probably get glass though. Glass at smaller sizes is very fragile though. Bioplast is another option but its not as clear as glass.

Bioplast or PTFE the size is not one size fits all you need to tailor the piece to the piercing. See your piercer for detailed help.
How do you hide a new lip piercing?
You don't. The only real thing that you can do to "hide" it would be to wear a clear retainer, but this will be an obvious rod of clear plastic through your lip. The only other alternative would be to leave it out, and with it new, the piercing will shrink up super quick.
Will your navel piercing close if you took it out for a couple hours after getting it pierced two months ago?

No because retainer pierces are plastic which isn't pure at all for the body. Your initial piercing is almost always sterling silver and it will take about a month or so depending on how quickly and fully your lip has healed.

How long does a lip piercing that's been in for 10 months take to close up if its been out for 2 days?
How long a piercing takes to close up depends on the gauge of the piercing but mostly it depends on the individual. All I can give you is anecdotal evidence; I removed my 14g lip piercing which was 18 months old and was unable to re-open the hole without re-piercing just two days later. If you want to keep the piercing open but need it to go unnoticed (say, for a job interview or a particular event) consider using a piercing retainer, these are clear plastic bars which are almost invisible when worn.
