So far so good. If anyone has never worn the infinity loop kind of earring, they are very hard to close. It will likely take a few frustrating minutes. But once they're in, they're in good. I leave these in for like, years. Im not a showy girly girl. I have 3 ear piercings and I just leave these kind of hoops in. I eventually lost one and couldn't remember size. I use the smallest for my two lobe piercings and middle for cartilage one.
