Are these good for sensitive ears?

They are made of 316L stainless steel and marketed as hypoallergenic. Most buyers with sensitive ears report no irritation, though a few still felt soreness after several hours.

Can I sleep and shower in them?

Yes. The flat back is designed for 24/7 wear, and buyers say they shower and wash their hair without removing them. Some find the backs press on the ear during sleep.

How do the backs attach?

They are screw-on flat backs. Buyers warn they take patience to thread, especially with long nails, and can work loose over time.

Are they a good first pair after a piercing?

They are pitched as a first pair for changing a piercing. The thin gauge and flat back suit healing piercings, but check the post length against your piercing.

What comes in the box?

A pair of earrings, a reusable suedette pouch and a recyclable jewelry box.

How big is the ball and the back?

The ball is small and understated, and the flat back is compact enough to sit against the ear. Exact figures vary by listing, so confirm the gauge and post length you need.
