To use a push back earring, insert the earring post through your ear piercing from front to back, and then gently push the butterfly backing onto the post until it's securely in place. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Insert the Post: Carefully insert the earring post through your ear piercing, coming from the front of your earlobe and exiting at the back.
-
Attach the Butterfly Backing: Take the butterfly or push back earring backing.
-
Secure the Backing: Gently push the backing onto the post. You may need to wiggle it slightly to get it started. Push it further down the post until you feel it click or fit snugly. The closer the backing is to your earlobe, the more securely the earring will be held in place.
-
Adjust for Comfort and Security (If Needed): If the earring feels too loose or too tight, gently adjust the butterfly backing. You can slightly bend the posts on the butterfly back towards or away from each other to adjust the tension and how tightly it grips the earring post. Be very careful not to bend them too much, as they can break. Only make very small adjustments at a time.
Troubleshooting:
- Backing is too loose: Gently pinch the two 'wings' of the butterfly backing closer together.
- Backing is too tight: Gently pull the two 'wings' of the butterfly backing further apart.
Remember to handle your earrings and backings with care to avoid damage.
