How do I make my earring hole reopen a bit more?

Question

I haven't worn earrings since about 6 months and the holes have closed a bit. So, I tried wearing some earrings but then only the thinner posts go through, but not the thicker ones - which is what I need. I tried wearing the earrings with the thinner ones for a couple of days and then try. But it's all the same.

By the way. I got my ears pierced when I was 8. And that was 8 years ago. And till 6 months ago I used to wear earrings regularly.

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

wear  heavy dangly earrings  wth  thin posts!

Answer 3

I THINK YOU CAN USE A THUMBTACK OR NEEDLE TO OPEN THE HOLE A BIT MORE. OR YOU CAN GO PIERCE YOUR EARS AGAIN. MAYBE YOUR EARS ARE INFECTED FROM A EARRING MATERIAL.

WELL GOOD LUCK

Answer 4

use a clear filler

Answer 5

what worked for me was the pair or ear studs which was used to pierce the earholes. i re-inserted the ear studs and cared for it like i would a new piercing. The posts are rather thick and they are sharp at the ends. They are the kind that are used witha piercing gun.

Answer 6

Hot shower, and use some lube

Don't force it though.

You can also go to a piercer, and get them tapered open. I wouldn't do that yourself though, as I'm guessing you don't know the gauge?
