How to Insert Flat Back Earrings

Flat back earrings are loved for their comfort and secure fit. But if you're new to them, inserting them can feel a little fiddly the first time. Once you’ve done it once or twice though, it becomes incredibly easy.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Insert the Post

Insert the flat back post from the back of your ear through the piercing hole.

This is different from traditional earrings which usually insert from the front.

Step 2: Hold the Post Steady

Hold the flat back in place behind your ear using your fingers.

Step 3: Attach the Front

Take the front of the earring and gently screw it onto the post from the front of your ear. Top tip: use a piece of Blu Tax to hold the charm still to make it easier to screw on.

Step 4: Tighten Securely

Twist until secure. 

Tips to Make It Easier

If you're struggling at first, try:

• using a mirror

• inserting after a warm shower

• taking your time the first few attempts

Once the earrings are in, you typically won’t need to remove them often.
