Flat Back Studs
Flat back studs are earrings designed with a smooth, flat backing that sits comfortably against the ear. This design helps reduce irritation, making them a great choice for daily wear, cartilage piercings, and multiple earring styling.
Unlike traditional earrings with butterfly backings, flat back studs are worn with a post that is inserted from the back of the ear and secured from the front. Below is a simple guide to help you put them on and remove them properly.
Find Your Perfect Fit
Each flat back stud comes with two post length options: 5mm and 7mm.
We recommend:
- 5mm post: Best for upper earlobe and cartilage piercings.
- 7mm post: Best for standard earlobe piercings.
The right post length should feel secure without pressing too tightly against your ear. If the stud feels uncomfortable, too tight, or difficult to secure, try the longer post option.
How to Put On Flat Back Studs
Step 1
Insert the post through the back of your ear.
Step 2
Gently push the post through your piercing until the end is visible from the front.
Step 3
Align the stud with the front of the post.
Step 4
Push the stud onto the post until it feels secure.
Step 5
Check that the stud feels snug and comfortable. It should stay in place without feeling too tight.
How to Remove Flat Back Studs
To remove your flat back stud, gently pull the front stud and the flat back post apart.
It may require a little force, especially if the piece is securely fitted. You do not need to twist or turn the stud when removing it.
For best results, remove your earrings slowly and carefully to avoid discomfort or irritation.
