Heavy earrings can damage ears.

I've had a couple of friends have to go for reconstructive surgery for their ears after having damage. I have thick lobes and could stand a little more weight than the average earlobe, but, I still keep the weight of my earrings on the very light side.
 

I never got into the habit of wearing earrings at all. I had my ears pierced around the age of 30 (one hole only), and I only own a couple of pairs of earrings, which I never wear. They were always uncomfortable to me, kind of made my ears itch, although they were gold plated and not the cheapos. I do remember in high school, the girls talked about getting into fights and having their earrings ripped out...always gave me the heebeejeebees. :eek:
 
I am one of the very few who do not have pierced ears.
I planned to in my early thirties but never got around to it and now it just seems to late
to bother.
I do occasionally wear clip on earrings, some drug stores carry them here, although there is not
a good variety.
Thanks for your replies and take care of your ear lobes. :)
 
Too many women must like to self-destruct! .... spike heels and loop earrings. GRIEF!
