You had to put the earring in through the back of the ear. One earrings post was thicker than the other. Once I screwed the one it would not twist off. This means my daughter was walking around with one earring. One day she was playing with her ear and the Minnie Mouse part of the earring fell off. I was going to return them but I cant because I now only have one earring that has a post to thick to fit in her ear. She is 2 years old with what I thought were normal piercings. I would not recommend this product
