Putting on earrings is easy and painless once you get used to it. Be sure to disinfect them before wearing them; furthermore, slide them inside the lobe by turning them slightly and finally close the clip on the back. Check that the rings are matched!
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Prepare the Earrings
Step 1. Wet a cotton ball with denatured alcohol
It is essential to disinfect the jewels before putting them in the body; even if you think they are clean, it is very likely that they contain bacteria instead. It is better to take a minute to clean them than to risk an infection!
- If you don't have a cotton ball, you can use a handkerchief, toilet paper, or even a simple piece of cotton. the clean fabric should be able to absorb the alcohol.
- If you don't have alcohol available, use hydrogen peroxide or another skin-safe disinfectant.
Step 2. Clean the earrings
Rub the front and back sides of both jewels and slide them into the alcohol-soaked cotton wool; let them soak in disinfectant for about 30 seconds, then remove them from the wad and dry them with a clean cloth or handkerchief.
Make sure you repeat the procedure every time you intend to wear them; you never know if a piece of jewelry is full of harmful bacteria
Step 3. Consider lubricating them
Put some petroleum jelly or other similar product on the pointed end of both earrings to make them slippery and thus make them easier to enter your ears.
Step 4. Pierce the ears
They must already be pierced before trying to insert the earrings; if possible, consult a professional piercer at his studio or that of a tattoo artist. Earrings go in much easier if you already have holes.
- Make sure that the size of the holes matches the size of the earrings.
- If you are feeling particularly bold, try piercing your ears at home yourself, but be very cautious and sterilize all tools. Consider getting help from an experienced friend.
Method 2 of 3: Insert the Earrings
Step 1. Insert the earring into the earlobe
Slide the end into the previously pierced lobe and gently twist the jewelry as you thread it. You will have to move it a little on the skin to find the hole, which is sometimes at a slightly abnormal angle. Push the jewelry until the front is flush with the skin of the lobe or until it reaches the position you want.
Usually, the earlobe is the most common area where the first earrings are inserted. It is a skin fold rich in adipose tissue and devoid of cartilage; it is the ideal place to insert pendants, in addition to the fact that it is one of the least painful areas in which to put earrings
Step 2. Pull the earlobe a little if you have difficulty putting the earring on
In this way, the hole widens slightly and you can insert the jewel more easily; as you wear the earrings, the hole should gradually adjust to the diameter of the jewelry.
Step 3. Close the earring
Once the front has reached the correct position, slide the latch onto the rear tip. Slowly and gently bring the clasp to the center of the earring and secure it in place. At this point, the earring is locked and you can wear it throughout the day!
- Not all earrings have a clasp. If your model only consists of a hook, make sure it fits securely and securely into your ear.
- If you are wearing hoop earrings, the safety clasp is probably built into the ring itself; Slide it into the ear so that the smooth and intact part comes into contact with the ear, then close the ring and place it so that the closure rests on the back of the ear.
Method 3 of 3: Wear the Earrings and Take Care of Them
Step 1. Check that both jewels are positioned the same way
Rock them back and forth to make sure you don't feel discomfort; look in the mirror and check that they look exactly the way you want them.
Also check that they are facing the right direction. If you have worn large and decorative earrings, they usually have a very distinct "front" side from the "back" one; also check that they are combined with each other
Step 2. Take them off
If this is your first time removing them, look in the mirror. Unhook the back clip and gently pull it away from your ear; then pull the earring away from the lobe, while turning it slightly. Let the ring slide gently until it comes out of the skin.
- Consider disinfecting jewelry after wearing it, just as you do before putting it on.
- If you don't use them for a long time, the hole may close; wear them regularly, to avoid having to make another puncture!
Step 3. Take precautions if you have sensitive skin
You may find that the material some inexpensive jewelry is made of can irritate your skin. Try putting a thin layer of clear nail polish on the back of the earrings to protect the skin; it may need to be reapplied after a few uses.
Ask the manufacturer what type of metal the earrings are made of; many people are allergic to nickel and this material is very popular in particularly cheap jewelry
Advice
- Pull the earlobe a little when trying to insert the earrings; in this way, the hole widens slightly and the operation becomes easier.
- It is less painful to take them off if the back is in the center.
- If you can't keep them, try taking them out and reinserting them by changing the angle a bit.
