How Do You Put Earrings Back In?

Putting earrings back in can sometimes be tricky, but here's a straightforward guide on how to do it correctly:

First, make sure your hands and the earring are clean to avoid infection. Now, follow these steps:

Steps to Insert Earrings

1. Position the Earring: Gently guide the earring post into the piercing hole on your earlobe.
2. Slide and Twist: As you push the earring in, carefully twist it. This can help the post slide through more easily.
   • According to the reference, you should "Slide the end into your ear, point-first, and slowly twist the earring as it goes in."
3. Widen the Hole if Needed: If you are encountering resistance, gently tug your earlobe downwards. This will temporarily widen the piercing and allow the earring to go through with less effort.
   • As stated in the reference, “Tug your earlobe if you have trouble getting the earring in. This will make the hole a bit wider, momentarily, so that the jewelry fits more easily.”
4. Secure the Earring: Once the earring is fully through, secure it by fastening the clasp or backing.
   • The reference directs you to “Clasp the earring.”

Troubleshooting Tips

• If it's painful: If you experience significant pain, stop and check the earring and piercing. It may be best to seek assistance from a piercer.
• Lubricate: If needed, you can try a tiny dab of petroleum jelly on the earring post to help it slide through more easily.
• Angle: Sometimes the angle is off. Try slightly adjusting the direction you're pushing to align with your piercing.
• Mirror, Mirror: Using a mirror can help you see exactly what you're doing.

Following these tips should make putting your earrings back in a much simpler and more comfortable experience.
