How Do You Fit Earrings?

To fit earrings, you generally slide the pin end of the earring through the pierced hole in your earlobe and then secure it with the earring back.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of how to fit different types of earrings:

Standard Earrings with Butterfly Backs

Prepare: Ensure your hands and earlobes are clean.
Insert: Gently slide the pin (the thin metal rod attached to the earring) through the front of your pierced ear hole.
Secure: Carefully slide the butterfly back (the small metal or plastic piece) onto the pin from the back of your earlobe. Push it on until you feel a slight click or resistance, indicating it's securely in place. The butterfly back should hold the earring snugly against your ear without pinching.

Hinged Hoops: Open the hinge, slide the post through your ear piercing, and close the hinge until it clicks shut.
Continuous Hoops: Carefully insert the thinner end of the hoop through the piercing and gently rotate the hoop until the end meets and securely inserts into the hollow part of the other end of the hoop.

Prepare: Clean your hands and ear.
Insert: Gently thread the earring through your piercing, pulling it through until the desired length hangs in front.
Adjust: Adjust how much of the threader earring you want hanging in the front and back.

Cleanliness: Always clean new earrings and your earlobes with rubbing alcohol before wearing them to prevent infection.
Comfort: If an earring feels uncomfortable or pinches, loosen the back slightly. Avoid wearing earrings that are too tight, as this can irritate the ear.
Allergies: If you have sensitive ears, choose hypoallergenic earrings made of materials like surgical steel, titanium, or gold.
New Piercings: If you have a new piercing, follow your piercer's aftercare instructions carefully. Typically, you'll need to keep the initial earrings in for several weeks or months and clean the piercing regularly.
Troubleshooting: If you have trouble getting an earring back on, try using a mirror or asking someone for help. If the earring pin is bent, gently try to straighten it. If you continue to have issues, consult a piercer or jeweler.
