This is an ear piercing kit. I saw that in another review but I guess I doubted it? The studs come pre-loaded in these little ear piercing guns that look like small plastic staple guns. The posts are not long at all, certainly not long post. They look like the same thing you get at the piercing place in the mall. They were cheap and I'm too lazy to return things I order online so they'll likely sit on my kitchen counter until I throw them out. If you're looking for long posts for thick earlobes, these aren't for you. Don't bother.
