The Patt and Fat Patt earrings have saved my helix piercings from longstanding pain due to wearing gold rings. The center one was constantly irritated. I did need to request an exchange of the posts to the 6.5mm in order to get a perfect comfortable fit, and this will take some doing for you to get right. The jewelry shouldn’t be changing the shape of your ear, so if you see a dimple it’s almost certainly going to swell and hurt. Get a post that’s too long, though, and it’ll flop instead of staying put. Mine stay in place unless I do something really disruptive like putting on sunblock or something. I don’t mind occasionally adjusting one though-I always had to do that with my old rings anyway.
Inserting them myself isn’t as easy as putting in a regular earring of course, but it’s very doable. The piece is big enough to hold and it has a long tang so it’s easy to get it inserted and keep it there while you’re screwing it down. I’ve been checking the snugness of mine every couple of days and never found one getting loose.
Pro tip-at night, rotate them down so they dangle and aren’t wrapped around your ear. 100% comfortable to sleep on.
Adornmonde hasn’t just worked with me on the exchange, they’ve corresponded extensively with me over all my orders and unique piercings to get me exactly what I need. They make it obvious when they reply to my emails that they’ve read all the prior correspondence too and looked at my pictures from previous emails, and this makes me so much…
