How often do you change your earrings?

[DecemberGoneWild]

What earrings do you have and how often do you change them?

I wear flat backs so there isn't a pointy bit to dig in at the back

Daily. I take them out to sleep and choose a pair to match my outfit and mood each morning.

Every day, because I can’t sleep in them. I’ve got loads because I used to make them and my husband also buys me them (expensive ones). My friends say I choose my ear rings for the day and then choose clothes to go with them.

I have small diamond studs that were a present 14 years ago! They stay in all the time, they do come out for an occasional scrub with a toothbrush 😂

Same here

Diamond studs all the time is so basic

I have diamond studs in my 1st and seconds, never take them out. I also have my rook, tragus and conch in both ears, I go to the studio once or twice a year buy new jewellery and have them change them for me. My fingers are too fat 😂

As per pp, daily as I don’t sleep, swim or do sport in them. Have various pairs, all gold or silver though, costume earrings cause irritation really quickly (suspect it’s the nickel content)

I don't sleep in them, so I wear different daily to coordinate with outfits or other jewellery

I have tiny "diamond" studs that stay in most of the time. I take them out when I wash my hair. I put something more dressy in when I go out with friends etc.

Every day. I have three pairs of gold hoops in different sizes and change them out. For Christmas Day I’ve bought these beauties. 🎅🏼

I don’t ever change mine, have a small pair of rose gold diamond Huggies in my first and rose gold Gucci studs in my seconds, I’ve had them both in for years now.
Only take them out to clean up every few months

Daily, I have hundreds of pairs (I’m a teacher, my students love seeing which earrings I’m wearing each day).

Not very often. Probably every two to four weeks for my lobe studs as I wear them constantly and then give them a change over when I can be bothered.

My cartilage piercings I've only changed once since 2020 because they're a total faff to swap over!

Don’t people who never change them find they get dirty through hair washing in the shower?

Not if you let water run over them when rinsing your hair

My top piercings never change, they’re silver studs that look like tiny twigs. I take the bottom ones out every night and choose different ones when I get dressed.

I mainly wear gold hoops and have loads of different pairs so choose a set each morning. They’re generally from Oliver Bonas and not expensive.

About every 6 weeks when I get my eyebrows done! because I can’t change my flat backs myself, nor my right huggie, so my brow lady kindly does them for me. She did also do some of the piercings I should add.
my right ear lobe piercing was done as a child in 1992, closed up and redone a couple of years later. As such there’s 2 different trajectories going from the same piercing on the right lobe, one of which is closed up. I just can’t get a hoop in there! I’m ok with a straight post but it takes a few tries. Left side is fine.

I still use the post-piercing after care spray everyday, seems to keep them clean/fresh.
I only got my 2nd lobe piercings earlier this year and have just kept on using the spray.

No. How would they get dirty from washing? I'm really confused by this thought.

Daily, I don’t sleep in earrings so choose a pair when I get dressed each day to compliment my outfit. Probably only have less than 10 pairs but they are all quite expensive.

I have 12 ear piercings and wear Huggies or flat back labrets so hardly ever change them - I do spend a lot of money on real gold and diamond earrings which I justify because I wear them all the time

I can't wear some of my studs for more than a day or two because my ear lobes get irritated. Once the back disappeared into my lobe because of a bad reaction to it and I had to get it removed by a hcp. I've not got it together yet to work out what the offending metal is. I can wear non studs problem free.

Might the backs be too tight or butterfly backs are notorious for causing irritation.
