Earrings for Sensitive Ears

Ever since I got my ears pierced I had nothing but trouble with them and wearing earring for any length of time just made them itchy and irritated. As I got older they got worse. Where silver and gold used to be ok I now couldn’t wear these for any length of time either. In the end I stopped wearing earrings all together. For half an hours wear on a night out my ears would hurt and it wasn’t worth it.


As I got new body piercings as soon as the six weeks was up I’d go and get plastic body jewellery as they seemed to help the healing. I don’t know why but until I was in Matalan on Sunday I hadn’t thought to look for normal earrings made of plastic.


So when me and mum were browsing the jewellery I think she was just as excited as me to see these.



9 pairs of studs in a range of colours for only £6 bargain.



And even better, they are completely plastic. I snapped them straight up. Or I should say my mum did for me! I was so excited at the prospect of being able to wear normal earrings all the time I almost when straight to the piercing shop to get more done.


As soon as we got in the car I put a pair of these bad boys in. Honestly they hurt first off (my ears haven’t had earrings in for probably a year and when they have it’s been for very short periods of time) they are quite thick and my ears weren’t used to it. After 10 minutes they felt fine. I have slept in them and worn them for 48 hours now and know problem.


Such a simple thing but I really hope Matalan bring out more earrings like this or more companies embrace the plastic for the bit that goes in the ear so I can wear more earrings! 


I can’t find them online but in my local store they had quite a few pairs.


Do you wear earrings regularly? Do you have problems with discomfort from them? Would you consider plastic ones?
