Yesteel316L Surgical Steel Hoop Earrings, 6mm-20mm Huggie Hoop Earrings Men Hypoallergenic, Small Sleeper Mens Hoop Earrings Cartilage Earrings for Women 20G 18G

I always had trouble putting any hoop earrings through my helix piercings but this is by far the fastest and easiest one I have ever experienced. I love the fact that there’s a hinged in the middle section of the hoop to make it easier for me to clasp and unclasp the earrings.Also, I’m allergic to nickel. I love that it is hypoallergenic! I had it on overnight and so far no allergic reaction. Worth the buy!

I developed keloid. It could be because the piercing was relatively fresh. I don't know but it wasn't for me.

Lots of reviews say to get the 8mm if you want to wear these in your main earholes. I ignored them and got the 6mm instead, because I wanted them to be as small and minimal as possible. Good news for those of you who want true "huggies" - the 6mms actually fit your main earholes! The latch is solid and has not come loose yet - reassuring for those of you who do a lot of physical activities and outdoor sports. Metal has not corroded yet. Lightweight and comfortable. Would recommend for anyone who wants a simple, minimalist, elegant pair of earrings.

8mm 20g Gold hoops (top piercing in the photos):I have chubby earlobes and the 8mm hoop works for me. I tried 5mm, 6mm, 7mm and all were too tight for me. Beware any reviews telling you that something will work for you... We all have different sized earlobes and what works for others might not work for you. Trial and error is your best bet.FYI-The higher number gauge you go the thinner the wire/post. The 20 gauge is the part that actually goes through your piercing and it’s very thin which is great for me since I have sensitive ears and would rather not shove a larger thickness post/hoop into my piercings. I tried and found the thicker/lower gauge I went the more irritated my sensitive ears became.The gold color is slightly darker than shiny real gold but honestly you can’t tell unless you stare hard.I have a severe nickel allergy and these didn’t give me a reaction at all. I am able to keep them in even while sleeping which was the main goal for me.The hoop swings open and has a little click sound when you close them. Very easy to get on and off.Excellent for the price and quality. I will be purchasing larger ones for my first holes.

I got the 6mm variety pack. I've never had hoops like these.. only the hoops with a lever style or with a post & a back. I think I saw some ad on Facebook about 'huggie' style earrings that brought me to a different amazon item for hinged hoops. I then ended up on this item because I wanted to get a set of the colors instead of just one or two. I had the hardest time choosing a size because I wanted the smallest hoop that would fit snug around my earlobe. I have small lobes and I guess it also depends on where the piercing is located on your particular ear. I took a chance and bought the 6mm and I'm glad I did. Even though the description and photo says it's only appropriate for cartilage piercing. Which it does work there too but as you can see in the pic it works on my 1st piercing. These look good stacked also in 2nd piercings. They are SUPER comfortable to sleep in!! I also wish I knew about this style for my cartilage piercing which currently has an 18g "horseshoe" style with balls that screw onto the ends. I had always wanted something that gave the illusion of the hoop going all the way through, without having to snap the ball on the hoop (I'm not sure I'm explaining that correctly). Anyway I have only been wearing the silver color, so I can't comment yet on the finish durability of the other colored hoops.
