Earrings for relatively new piercings

2 replies

As in 6 months or so, so not brand new! They’re lobe piercings and have healed up pretty well. They’re my second lobe piercings, so two on each ear.

At the moment I have the surgical steel studs that the piercer put in as my default earrings, but they have long and wide posts and are fiddly (the backs screw on). I don’t have any studs I could sleep in comfortably so at the moment if I wear different ones in the day I have to try and get the steel ones back in at night, which can be fiddly.

I’d like to get some sleepers that can become my new default earrings and stay in overnight. I don’t wear gold jewellery so they must be silver in colour! My current everyday earrings in the old holes are silver huggy hoops, quite small and plain. I keep looking at sleepers but I’m worried they’ll get squashed out of shape from sleeping in them - has anyone got any recommendations please?

You can get titanium sleeper earrings, various sizes and colours (including silver coloured)

Loads on Amazon - expect they're widely available

I've got loads of the ones they pierce with when using the gun. Only £3 a pair and come in silver and a variety of designs. They have a butterfly back that clicks on so doesn't leave a pont sticking out and can sleep in comfortably. Try your local independent jeweller.
