- Will these fit my earrings?
- The hole is about 0.7mm, so they suit standard thin posts such as most stud earrings. Thick, threaded or gauge posts will not pass through.
- How do silicone backs compare with metal butterfly backs?
- Silicone grips the post along its length, so it holds heavy studs better and feels softer behind the ear. Metal butterflies are more durable but loosen over time.
- How many backs come in a bag?
- About 500 pieces per bag, which covers years of replacements or a batch of handmade earrings.
- Do they work for heavy earrings?
- Yes, the friction grip holds better than a loose metal clutch. For very heavy pieces, check that the post is long enough to seat the back fully.
- Are they safe for sensitive ears?
- Silicone is a common choice for people who react to metal, since the back does not touch the piercing channel. The earring post itself still matters.
- Can I clean and reuse them?
- Yes. Wash with mild soap and water and let them dry fully. Replace any that have stretched, torn or turned yellow.
