As discussed, huggies are a type of small hoop earring that hug closely to your earlobe. Hoop earrings can be a variety of sizes but they never measure as close to the ear as huggies do. Hoops range as much in hoop diameter as they do in design.
Huggie earrings are a style of hoop earrings that are small in size and hug the ear. This means that the earring sits close to your earlobe.
One of the most common questions at our jewellery store is, "What is the difference between Huggie and hoop earrings?" The answer is actually quite simple. Huggie earrings are smaller and fit snugly against the earlobe, while hoop earrings are larger and circle around the entire ear.
Huggie earrings, also referred to as huggie hoops or simply huggie rings, are a type of earring hoop which sit snug to the earlobe (or other chosen location on the ear, such as the helix). The 'huggie' name comes from its small, thick, and click-into-place design which makes it look as if the ring is 'hugging' the ear.
Huggie earrings have a lever back which simply clicks into place, and they tend to be thicker than the standard hoop.
While we don't usually recommend that you sleep in earrings, Huggies are probably one of the safest earrings if you do leave them in. As they are small and are close to the skin, they are unlikely to get tangled in hair, clothing or bedding. This reduces the risk of damaging your surroundings or your body.
They're extremely thin and hollow, making them comfortable for all-day wear or to even sleep in. Endless huggies are designed to never fall out, so they're especially ideal for those who don't plan to take them off very often.
They literally just cuff on to your ear – no piercing needed! I have shared my ear huggies before on my insta-stories (I wear the gold in the first hole and the diamond in the second hole and both are only $25 a pair) and they quickly became a top seller with so many of you.
They can be worn anywhere the ear is pierced, including the helix, tragus, or antihelix. Huggie earrings are much more comfortable than other earring designs.
What piercings can I use a huggie for? Because of the huggie's small diameter, they tend to be used for lobe piercings, however can be used for other piercings such as the helix (cartilage at the top of the ear), forward helix (top, front of the ear) and the tragus (in front of the ear canal).
After six months for earlobes and 12 months for cartilage, it's okay to switch from light stud style earrings to light dangling earrings and hoops!
You can adjust the curved post down or up until you hear it click into the locking mode tightly. This small adjustment, from time to time, will keep your huggie earrings tight and working like new.
Typically used in the ear lobe, huggies can also be used in the tragus (located in front of the ear canal), the helix (at the top of the ear) or in the forward helix (the top front part of the ear).
Your best bet is to heat up the ear. Hold it for a few seconds. Warm heat. Wiggle it and slowly pull it out.
Sleeper earrings are earrings designed for comfort and versatility. They are typically small and simple in design with a hoop. They often have a hinged or screw mechanism that allows them to stay securely in place all day without irritating the earlobe.
Earrings featuring a clip-on back are great for those who do not have their ears pierced as well as those who do. The clip-on backing clasps gently to the earlobe holding the earring in place, no piercing necessary.
Diapers should: Fit snuggly below the belly button. Fit snuggly around the legs without being too tight. You want a tight seal, but not one that will hurt your baby.
The general rule is to avoid wearing earrings while sleeping, with the exception of when you get a new piercing. You will need to keep these small studs in place for 6 weeks or so, or until the piercing heals.
It is generally recommended that you take your earrings out when you are sleeping. If you don't want to take your earrings out, there are some ways to be more comfortable sleeping with them.
Huggies are the ideal set-it-and-forget it earring style that are wearable 24/7 even while you shower, work out or sleep.
