I needed something to have in my ears that wouldn't get lost, fall apart, or have a baby tug out of my ear.  I have sort of sensitive ears, so I tried these out.  They are PERFECT.  I've worn them almost constantly for the last several months and haven't had an issue with them.  If you like large earrings, these aren't for you.  If you want a small little every day wear stud that is simple, classic, and won't get in your way, I've found these to fit the bill.
