Yep, they do tear up the ears until you get use to them. I posted in your other thread, cemrn, and had mentioned that the screw backs on a pair of my studs striped over time and would loosen up throughout the day. I constantly had to tighten them. The pair I upgraded to are friction back.Date: 5/13/2010 8:53:03 PM

I hate screwbacks.
They tear up my ears, and the backings get caught in my longer hair and twisted so that I have to keep checking them to make sure they''re screwed in fully. They take forever to put in and take off, and they''re a pain to clean - and because of all the threading that collects dirt cleaning is all the more necessary. If there''s an upside I''ve yet to find it.

I''d love to get a pair of diamond studs. I am pretty nervous I''ll lose one though. Which type of earring back do you prefer? I''ve heard the term friction back and screw back.......Of course I will insure them
Your ears become use to them. The first few times i put mine in, my ear holes hurt like crap and my entire ears turned bright red, but after time, it became second nature.Date: 5/14/2010 12:59:38 AM
