I have a lot of trouble with earrings that irritate my ears, so I decided to buy these white gold ones in the smallest size.  They arrived inside a small box that was inside a bubble mailer, so no bent posts.

The earrings are a great size for my cartilidge piercings, but I think that if an adult were to wear them in the lower part of the earlobe that they would be tight, because they are so small.  I lost one of the earring backs and can't seem to find a replacement because the posts and backs were teeny-tiny!  (Hence only four stars.)  However, they have thus far been excellent in my sensitive ears!
