Answer 1

I had that same problem when I tried to switch mine to a hoop. It's probably because the inside of your mouth is wet and the whole piece of jewelry is turning.

I just dried out the inside of my lip with a paper towel and held down the back of the jewelry, then I twisted the ball with more effort. It takes more effort than you think it would.
