What are huggie earrings?
Huggie earrings are small, thick hoops that sit close and hug the earlobe rather than dangling. They fasten with a hinged closure, making them secure and comfortable for everyday wear, and they are easy to stack across multiple piercings.
How do I open and put on huggie earrings?
Gently swing the hinged section open, slide the post through your piercing, then click the hinge closed until it snaps shut. Handle the hinge slowly and never force it, so the closure stays aligned and secure on the lobe.
Can you sleep in huggie earrings?
Because huggies sit flat against the lobe, many people find them comfortable to keep in, but removing earrings before bed is gentler on your piercings and the hinge. If you do sleep in them, make sure the closure is fully shut.
Are huggie earrings only for pierced ears?
Yes, huggie earrings need a standard lobe piercing since the post passes through the ear. They work well in first or second lobe piercings and are a popular choice for building a stacked, curated ear with other small hoops and studs.
What is the difference between huggie and hoop earrings?
Huggies are small, thicker hoops that hug the lobe closely, while standard hoops are larger and hang with more open space. Huggies suit everyday wear and stacking, while bigger hoops create a bolder statement look. Both come in gold and silver styles.
