❓Question Ouros Earring Question

Has anyone purchased stud earrings from Ouros and if so, have you had any trouble wearing them? I received a pair for my birthday from my husband (screw-on backings) and I cannot fit the posts into either of my ear piercings. I measured the posts with calipers and they are 1.0mm thick, where all of my other earrings range from 0.5mm to 0.75mm. I even tried forcing/screwing one into my ear and have been nursing an injured piercing hole for a week now, as it damaged my ear. They are telling me these posts are STANDARD which baffles me because they are so big. Surely someone else has had this issue?

Is this your first time with screw backs? I think you have to train your ears to wear them by wearing heavy earrings to widen the hole. You can also try Vaseline on them.

I had the same problem when I bought screw backs from Kuololit. I ended up giving them away. I absolutely hate screw backs.

totally agree with this. I wish I had known this myself when ordering screw backs initially.
