If I could go back and not buy these I would. I should have listened to the reviews because they're right! I bought 6 pairs of these for my ears and thought I could put them in my lobe piercings and the other pair in my cartilage. Well I was wrong. The earrings were really hard to get clipped in the back so it took me over an hour to get 4 pairs in and they didn't fit in my cartilage at all. They were however the size I wanted for my ear. Another thing I noticed, about a week of wearing them the part that goes into your ear started to change color to an almost black color. Next time I'll listen. A few earrings also un clipped and I almost lost them.
