I don't wear plugs but I absolutely love the earrings. I got the smallest gauge and they luckily fit (a little tight on one lobe but not uncomfortable or painful). Putting them on and removing them was easy too. Wish they had them in black though other than that I'm super happy with my earrings.

Love these, I put them in the day they arrived (a couple of months ago) and haven't taken them out yet other than to show them off! The ends are rounded and point inwards, so they don't stab me when I sleep. It isn't obvious that they are gauged, so I can wear them at work in a professional setting without having a big ugly hole showing like happens with non gauged earrings. I don't like to fuss with earrings, just want to put them in and forget about them for months, but plain boring hoops were the only thing I had found previously that I could sleep in, wear to work, and still liked enough to wear on my own time. When I do need to take them out for dental X-rays or whatever, these twist out quite easily unlike the hoops that required snap ring pliers. I've gotten tons of compliments on them from piercing enthusiast friends and work associates alike, as well as strangers in public. They are a little bit heavy for my liking, but to be so large they are surprisingly lightweight so I really can't complain. I would have happily paid 3x the price for something that so perfectly fits my needs.

I was hesitant to buy these earrings, as I have never seen surgical steel jewelry for $16.99. I didn't get my hopes up, but I inspected & compared them to my $60 surgical steel earrings & they appear no different. I have to say, I really like these spirals. I got a 10 guage, which is a little bigger than the 12, which was the guage earrings I've had for ages, in order to get them with a little more weight & visibility (don't worry, you can't miss them). The size (length & width) is pretty good, but I wish I could get them in a larger overall size, as well. I tend to wear larger, heavier earrings, but I'm getting used to their size & lighter weight when I move or look in the mirror. Their weight doesn't pull on my earlobe like my more elaborate 12 guages, in case you're wondering.

I had another pair of these earrings that I have worn for about 6 years, and then one morning one fell out and I couldn't find it. So I bought these and they have been a perfect replacement. They frequently get twisted around (see the pic) and you have to readjust them, but I love them. When I first got these earrings, I had to let my ears adjust to the size of the gauge, and it was uncomfortable for a couple days but not traumatic or anything, and then they slid right in and out without issue! I love them and I frequently get compliments on them!

 I love these!!!! So cute and they went in super easy, I just put a little Vaseline on my lobe to help guide it in and easy peasy. I was seriously thinking it would be so difficult because I struggled for no joke, a month, trying to get my captive bead earrings out but once I got them out these were in in seconds and no problems!!!

Great quality, easy to put in earrings with a professional, attractive look. However, the 10G has been described as "intense" and is a little heavy for ears stretched bigger than 10G as it causes them to droop.

These are my new favorite earrings! I wear them in my first lobe piercings all the time. I’m thinking about starting to gauge my ears and will be getting the larger gauges soon too. They’re cute and comfy. I can sleep in them and they don’t fall out. Plus they’re super easy to put in. I was a little worried that they’d be difficult but they’re not at all!

These are my new favorite "fancy" earrings. I love that they are surgical steel, so the metal matches my small sleeper loops in my second and third holes. I have gotten many compliments on them.
