earrings

Post by Judy-T »

I have found a few new type of earrings that are easy to put in. One is a corkscrew type. It is very comfortable to wear. You can put these on one handed and just keep turning until secure. The other is an earpin. You just slide it on and it is secure.I don't know about you,but it is sometimes hard for me to mess with earring backs.

Judy,
I LOVE earrings! I've always preferred french hooks because they were so easy to put on with one hand.

What company(s) makes these new types of earrings that you've mentioned? I'm ALWAYS at earring counters in department stores but have never noticed anything but the same ol'same 'ol.

That sounds good to me. I always wear earrings!

I have such a job putting on the ones with the screw on back or anything but wire types...

I once put the back on so tight and then could not get it off... I had to wait till my daughters came home to unscrew the earring...LOL

I put my bpi arm up on the wall tilt my head and then put on the earring.... its such a pain.... It's like using the hair dryer for our hair...!!!!

The web site is www.earpin.com . Check out the spirals and the earpins. They are very comfortable also. I believe the site may have a list of retailers.
