I have to say, I was HUGELY disappointed in this product. I can't get it in my nose. So I totally feel stuck here. I'm not bashing the nose ring itself. It can't help that it didn't work, but now I'm stuck with a product I can't use! I wish I could've had an idea of how difficult that would be to put into my nose. I did purchase a straight post from Amazon and love it. They do sit flush with the nose and sparkle beautifully.
