Hi girls,

well, what do you practice when wearing earstuds? Closing the friction back in the first or second groove of the post or do You close it tight against the earlobe?

Usualy I have worn earstuds backs in the closest groove, but with my about 9mm pearl earstuds, the pearl sits so far away from my lobe - so when I push the friction back tighter against my earlobe, it sits better, but I have a "little pressure" feeling...

how about you?

It depends on the earring for me... like with some it'll be too far from my ear lobe so I do it to the closes one... but with one that i can i'll put it towards the back so it more comfortable

Try gettnig the backs that have a plastic circle around the metal back - they help to keep heavier earrings flush against the lobe without having to push it so tight :)

I usually push the backs pretty tight and then loosen it just slightly so it doesn't pinch.

^^Usually costume earrings on posts come with them, otherwise I think Claire's or Michael's sells replacements or I'm sure you can buy them online. Just search "disk earring backs" or something like that.

Ditto. Too tight can cause scarring
