Welcome back to another exciting edition of the Luvari blog. Today, we're exploring an issue that some of us might have faced but often overlooked - what to do if earring posts are too thick. Understanding this is crucial, not just for your comfort, but also for the health of your ear piercings.
Understanding Earring Posts
So what exactly are earring posts? They are the part of the earring that goes directly into your pierced earlobe. There are various types of earring posts - butterfly, threaded, or even hook posts, to name a few. They can be made from a variety of materials, from precious metals like gold and silver to medical-grade materials like titanium or surgical steel.
One term you might have come across while shopping for earrings on Luvari is "gauge". This refers to the thickness of the earring post. Now, this is important! Let's find out why.
Why Earring Post Thickness Matters
The thickness of your earring post has a direct impact on the health of your piercing. Wearing earrings that are too thick for your ear can cause discomfort and even lead to issues like irritation or infection. We at Luvari believe in prioritizing your health and comfort as much as adorning you with beautiful jewelry.
Signs Your Earring Posts Are Too Thick
So how do you know if your earring posts are too thick? Look out for these signs:
- You experience discomfort or pain when wearing your earrings.

- There's swelling redness, or other signs of irritation around your piercing.
Remember, your earrings should feel like a joy to wear, not a chore!
