I love these because they're so simple you can wear them everyday without irritating your ears. I've been looking for earrings that are made of nylon for a while, since like most people the cheap metal that is affordable enough to accommodate all of my piercings irritate my ears or discolor the piercing. But like most have said, the posts are quite long- to fix this I just cut the excess off with a pair of scissors and they're fine. I think it's good they're kind of long, because some people like the posts on their earrings longer than others, and this way you can just cut them however long you want them.
