*These guidelines serve as suggestions only; sizing varies based on anatomy. The higher the number, the thinner the gauge.
The standard size we sell with all our Flat Back Studs is 6mm/20 gauge, as that size fits most people for earlobe and nose piercings.
Our Flat Back Replacement Posts are perfect for when it's time to "downsize" after a fresh piercing. Most piercers use an 8mm back (or larger) to allow for swelling and recommend downsizing to 6mm or 5mm once a piercing is fully healed. If you’re not sure, please refer to the chart above or contact us!
Crafted with a smooth, no-poke back, our posts are incredibly comfortable to wear (and sleep in). Each piece is created with solid implant-grade titanium, so they won’t rust or fade when worn in the shower or to the gym. Super lightweight, sweatproof, waterproof — what more could a jewelry lover ask for?

FITTING NOTES: If the earring doesn’t stay together, don’t worry! To create tension, insert the front pin halfway into its back and bend slightly. Once completely inserted into the back, the now-bent front pin should create enough tension to secure both pieces together.
