I have very sensitive ears and hardly ever wear earrings because it is uncomfortable. Aside from minor discomfort the first day or so of wearing these earrings just because I haven't worn earrings in a while I have had no issues! So exciting to have earrings that I can wear without concern of constant irritation. They did take a bit to come in but fulfillment time was upfront so not that big of a deal, just something to be aware of.
