Use a lubricant
One of the easiest ways to put on an earring when you can no longer thread it through is to use a lubricant. The lubricant makes the earring slide into the pierced hole easily. You can use a few drops of baby oil, olive oil, or any other oil-based lubricant. Avoid using water-based lubricants as they can harbor bacteria and cause infections.
Use a needle or pin
If your ears are particularly stubborn, you can use a needle or pin to create a new opening or widen the existing one. Be careful while using a needle or pin as it can cause injury to your ears if not used properly. Before inserting the earring, clean the needle or pin with alcohol and sterilize it. Gently pierce the ear in the same place as your existing hole. Inserting the needle or pin will widen the hole, allowing you to easily thread the earring through.
Use a threader
A threader is a device used to thread the earring through the pierced hole. You can purchase a threader from any jewelry store or online. The threader has a thin wire or plastic loop and is designed to fit through the pierced hole. Insert the threader through the hole and thread the earring through the loop. Pull the threader out, and your earring is now in place.
Use a different type of earring
If you are experiencing difficulty with one type of earring, try a different type. There are various types of earrings available, including hoops, studs, and clip-ons. Studs are the most popular type of earring and are easier to insert than hoops. Clip-ons do not require pierced ears, but they have small clasps that can be difficult to maneuver.
Get someone’s help
If none of the above methods work for you, then it’s time to ask for help. Getting someone’s help can make the process much easier. Ask a friend, family member, or your partner to help you insert the earring. They can hold the earring while you position your head or hold your ear.
Conclusion
In conclusion, putting on an earring when you can no longer thread it through can be a challenging task. However, with the above tips, you should be able to wear your earrings comfortably again. Remember to be gentle while using a needle or pin, and use a lubricant to make the process easy. All the best!
