I made my bells out of ribbon and I use the Christmas bells. There are 3 hanging on the ribbon to about 3 inches off the floor.
When training, I say "go potty" then I take the puppy to the door put them on the floor, and physically take their nose or paw and make them ring the bell, then I immediately open the door. Then I always go out with them and make sure they go.
I use the bells mostly because the other members of my family are oblivious to my dogs asking any other way to go out. They cannot deny the dog when they are sitting there ringing a bell!
