Your Guide to Internally Threaded Flat Back Earrings
There’s a wide selection of earring varieties out there. We’re here to introduce you to your new favorite: internally threaded flat back earrings. This type of earring is comfortable and gentle on sensitive ears without compromising on style! Read on as we discuss just what internally threaded flat back earrings are, how to wear them, and the many advantages they offer.
What Are Internally Threaded Flat Back Earrings?
While internally threaded flat back earrings have a bit of an intimidating name, they are actually very straightforward! Rather than a typical stud earring where the post goes through the ear from front to back, an internally threaded earring has a post that goes through from back to front. The stud portion of the earring is a separate piece that then screws into the post at the front of your ear.
Why Choose Internally Threaded Flat Back Earrings?
Internally threaded flat back earrings have many advantages over other types of studs. One of the biggest perks is that the post has a flat back that lays flush against the back of your ear. This design prevents a lot of the bumping and snagging that happens in daily life when you have an earring with a long backing, which in turn prevents irritation and discomfort for your ears! You also don’t have to worry about losing an earring back since the stud and post of an internally threaded earring actually screw together. No more frantically looking through your jewelry box for that missing backing piece.
How to Wear Internally Threaded Flat Back Earrings
Wearing internally threaded earrings may seem complicated, but it’s actually quite simple! Follow these easy steps for putting in your earrings. Ensure your hands and earrings are clean before you put earrings in or change them out!
Step One - Unscrew the Front
Separate the post of your earring from the front piece by screwing counterclockwise.
Step Two - Insert the Post
Insert the post into your piercing from the back of your ear to the front. Use a mirror for guidance if you’re having trouble finding the piercing!
Step Three - Attach the Front
Insert the stud piece of the earring into the post and gently screw it in until secure. Make sure to screw it in all the way so it won’t fall off.
