Wearing earrings constantly

I wear leverback earrings easy to take out at night and put back in .I let my second holes close up and am considering redoing them .DD doesn't see why lol

I feel bland without earrings.

I wear different ones every day too they are part of my dressing I love big, bold, bright, different and last time I counted I had 72 pairs

I wear any sort of earrings all the time, always have done. Ideally they have some sort of catch to stop them falling out either lever back or the other thing that holds the bit that goes through your ear. I would like some way of making them stay permanently, I always loose one or two a year, but other than welding them closed I can't think of any way!

I wear hook earrings as I find them the easiest to get in, especially with dodgy fingers! I do take them out at night though. Sometimes I need to dip the hook in antiseptic cream in order to ease it through the hole.

LadyGracie, oh good! I’m so glad that you like them.
HeavenLeigh huggies or huggy hoops are just a style of earring.
Like a fat sleeper or hoop that stays close to your lobe.
You can get plain gold or silver ones, jewelled ones, ones with a stone drop.
More visible than sleepers but just as practical.
Just enter ‘huggies’ or ‘huggy’ in the search bar of your shop of choice

I always wanted pierced ears, but my father would not allow it.

After I got married, I had them pierced. Weeks later, I found out was pregnant. DH advised his female staff not to have their ears pierced, because they would get pregnant! 😁

I had my ears pierced on my 40th birthday. I wear different earrings every day and take them out at night.

I feel naked without earrings, but do take them out at night.

I have so many pairs, I can't count them!

I’ve never heard of Huggies earrings where do you buy those FannyCornforth the only Huggies I know are baby wipes

I’ve had my ears pierced over 50 years I wear silver hoops all the time small ones not big. And I wear a set of sparkly small studs too. They all come out once a week to be cleaned I wouldn’t feel dressed without my earrings and necklace on

After FannyCornforth talking about wearing huggies all the time, which I'd never heard of, I looked for some, I bought some tiny gold ones. I put them in straight away and apart from taking them out to have an MRI, I've worn them all the time. Very comfy, thanks FC

I wear hook type earrings every day and take them out at night. I found that the backs on the stud type were making my ears itch if worn all day no matter what metal they were made of. Not dressed without my earrings!

I got a tip from a jeweller when buying a pair of hook earings, buy a packet of rubber/plastic backs and push them on. I had a pair that kept falling out.
Unfortunately, I am allergic to silver as well as base metals so always have to have gold. I never go without something in. I promised when I got them pierced on DD's first day at school.

Love earrings and bracelets. Had my ears pierced approximately 50 years ago and I’ve worn rings in the of all descriptions day and night ever since. Only gold overnight for many years although I can do silver too now.

My ears closed over because I’d stopped wearing earring during the pandemic. I bought some hoops from a company called Solace that said they could be worn all the time. I bought them because they are hinged and easy to put in and close. I did make the mistake of not cleaning them with salt water first and I bought slightly thicker ones which I had to force in. It resulted in my ears bleeding and being quite sore. I contacted the company and they said I should have bought thinner ones. So, after wearing some gold hoops for a while that I could keep in permanently but were fiddly to close I tried the Solace ones again, being more careful this time and I’ve been wearing them continuously for ages with no problem. I even forget I’m wearing them. My daughter had the same problem and purchased some and they worked for her, too. The great thing about them is the hinge so I don’t have to fiddle with them or worry about them falling out. I think a lot of people found themselves having the same problem because of the pandemic.

I don't have pierced ears either. Thanks to a neighbour of my Grandma. When I was a child I'd gaze at this woman's ear lobes. They were practically touching her shoulders. Flapping in the wind. I was quite horrified which caused me to never go under the needle.

Weirdly neither of my daughters have pierced ears either. Mind you, I did tell them about my childhood trauma. Maybe that's why they didn't bother.

Shelflife One for each ear 😁

So funny this thread would pop up today. Yesterday I got my ears re-pierced as the holes had closed over as I hadn’t worn any earrings for years.I was inspired by my little five year old granddaughters excitement when she had hers done last Christmas.I got tiny birthstone diamond studs put in,no problem at all sleeping in them last night.

I am looking at getting sleepers that I can leave in permanently, probably silver as I dislike gold..

In my 70s and never had my ears pierced! Not quite sure why as I do admire the ones my friends wear. My Mum never had hers pierced, perhaps that's why I have never take the plunge!

I wear studs all of the time; my ears are double pierced and I sometimes wear pretty earrings in the other holes.
I do try and remove the studs every so often to clean them as I find that there can be a build up of something which can lead to a bit of a smell! Don't know what the something is but I know it can lead to a smell! But the studs cause me no problems otherwise.
