I've had this earring in my helix for 3 years. I don't even feel it. It's comfortable and I don't find it snags on things.
I took it to my piercer to put it in my helix after it healed and he recommended I don’t. He said it will cause the “cheese cutter effect”. Basically the earring is too heavy and the post is too thin so it will stretch your ear. That might be why it’s sore.
I’ll only wear it on lobes occasionally but it’s not a good earring for everyday
Very light and comfortable. Sometimes the nail tip snags but it’s not too bad. It’s a small hoop.
The only pain I get is when the pointy bit pokes me when I accidentally fall asleep on it
Yes it’s not great. Cartilage piercings are already very finicky so putting a heavy earring will just complicate things. You’ll notice older women who wear earrings a lot will have a stretched out lobe. You definitely want to avoid a stretched helix
Super light. Comfortable for everyday wear. It did come off once during sleep though.
I’ve had these on my mind to wear as a pair in my lives for a while; on a whim, I texted my local SA to see if they had any in stock at the boutique (preferably a pair). He texted me back that there were exactly 2 available, and now they’re mine! I’ll again stress how much more comfortable the pair of singles are compared with the heaviness of the larger ones sold as a pair. And a tip to remove them easily: Pull up on the post near the back behind your ear where the joint is! It must create that extra bit of leverage needed to help it along.
I recently saw someone wearing the JUC single as a piercing and I can’t get it out of my mind. I’m going to the store tomorrow to check it out in person, but I already think it won’t work with my other piercings. I’m planning on swapping it with the top sleeper, but I think it’ll get caught on the one below it. Any insights? Lol
I ended up going to the store to try it on and it was waaaaay too big compared to my other pieces and it simply didn’t work with the size of my ear no matter how it faced. Now I kind of want to buy two to make a pair, but idk. My experience at the store today was a bit of a bummer and it turned me off of trying more things /:
