“Great little titanium flatbacks for wearing 24/7 and more affordable than some other brands! I have 2 piercings in each ear lobe so I bought a set of the circle stud and the squiggle stud. Measurements for the squiggle weren’t listed in the description so I asked customer service who got back to me the same day (6.4 mm x 1.8 mm). I bought the applicator as well and it made them a breeze to insert, though some dexterity still required since the posts and backings are very tiny. I was experiencing some irritation from my previous gold-plated earrings and this slowly seems to be fading now that I’ve switched to titanium. Only one con: these 2 styles (circle and squiggle) aren’t actually the MOST comfy to sleep in. The studs themselves are sort of stamp-cut with straight edges, so sometimes they dig into the front of my ear lobe a bit when sleeping on my side (the backs are comfy though). I may look for styles that would be more “rounded” instead of flat to avoid this in the future.”
Hi Annie,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm so sorry to hear about the lost flat back pieces! That's so frustrating.
As you know from experience, flat back studs do work very differently than traditional butterfly back earrings as the earring pin (the part with the bar on it) and the back hold together through a friction bond. This bond is created by a slight bend in the earring pin and is designed to be adjustable. So, if one of your flat backs was coming out too easily (they should require intentional effort to remove), then it's most likely that this just needed to be adjusted.
All of this information (and more) is included in the shipping insert and via QR code links with every flat back order as we want you to have all of the tools you'll need to fully enjoy your new flat backs.
We'd love to help you further! Please reach out to our customer service via the chat on our website or email hello@cordsclub.com

“I had a cartilage piercing that reacted badly to most earrings except a plain boring one I had. But there was no problem with these earrings, and they're so cute!”
