what's the prob? you can sort of widen them at the back if too tight

how do you widen them? They are too tight to take off! HELP!

They might have a little ridge that you have to get them over rather than they are too tight. I know my DDs earrings have the ridge, it saves us from constantly losing them.

Not yet but I think kid might be right I seem to remember a ridge but hurt one ear and it bled a little so chickened out, thinking about trying olive oil to see if it will ease it!!

When you manage to get it off consider replacing them with the plastic backs maybe? Might be easier to get on and off.

plastic backs are much better - I have lost a lot of lovely earrings because of crappy butterfly backs!
