[<3DBSK]

ahhhh im exactly like you!

so i hafta wear "real" ones. haha
anywhoo, to answer ur question,
my earlobes are okay wit wearing plastic earrings.
you can try em, but if it gets all itchy and rashes for instance appear,
stop wearing em.

lol yeah, the fake metal ive always wanted to wear the plastic studs, but my mom says that its plastic, and its the same as fake metal, it will ruin your ears O__o

i guess i'll buy a pair of plastic ones to try out...

oo yeah, i had a pair of those sensitive solution earrings, and they were good, didnt give me any itchy-ness XD

yeah and i have to agree with the hassle part about taking out the 'fake' earrings, cause at times i forget to put it back on, and i get scared that the ear hole will close.

[eunhee_lemonade]

i don't take out the sensitive solution earrings/platinum/titanium are fine w/ my ear
plastic too!! :3

[missyblue]

ahah, awesome, maybe i should try plastic earrings

cause i need some new earrings, other than the ones from the gold jewelry stores from chinatown... the old lady kinds =.=

lol i have to wear my mom's gold hoops

When my mom was a teen in the Philippines, she got these fancy (but fake) earrings and soon after, she realized that her skin was really sensitive to it. So a rash began to form, and my grandpa had to cut off all her hair and leave her bald since that was the only way her skin could heal. :[

My sisters and I are the same way. I lost the pair to one of my "real" earrings a while ago... so I decided to just buy some plain fake earrings so that the holes in my ears wouldn't close. One of my ears really hurt because of it... So I took the earrings out and I'm currently earring-free as of now. =o=

**With fake earrings, you should always take them out before showering. I didn't, and it's what cause my ears to hurt. >__<;

I'm saving up to buy a pair of real earrings soon, since I don't want to have to remove my earrings before I shower or get in water. :]

i have a friend whose ears get infected when wearing fake stuff.
she can only wear like sterling silver or gold and i think plastc.
i don't she got an infection from plastic.
but for me, i can stick anything in my ear hole. paper clips, saftey pins, etc...

[ohhlalakelly]

I'm like you too! When I wear fake earrings, my ears gte really itchy. But I still wear fake earrings sometimes if they're SUPER cute. Haha, but .. I have never tried plastic earrings before. I think so? Just as long as there isn't any metal on it whatsoever.

[kimchee1]

i can't wear fake cheap stuff cause my ears are sensitive tooo

[flyxme.]

i just wear my sensitive solution earrings from claires
but i have some sterling silver ones that are good
i have so many earrings i buy, but never wore T-T

[kimchi hana]

I used to want to wear plastic earrings. My ears aren't that sensitive, but my mom said no one should still wear it.
Plastic earrings are easier to get infections. I can say sterling silver is the way to go. :D

[-x.smile.31]

I have the same problem as you!! my ears are sensitive so my
parents only let me wear 'real' earrings. my mom told me that
plastic is the same as wearing metal ones or w/e, they still have
fake metal/the same metal material. i tried wearing these plastic
hoops once, but i still got infected >o<;. my say is that you could
try plastic ones BUT with NO metal or buy ones for sensitive ears =]

[constantlyconfused]

i can do fake earrings...but yea, no water/shower w/ them tho...they'll rust, etc and infect ear

"real" metals are always better of course. plastics are fine tho too. they shouldn't affect u if u have sensitive ears. they use plastics to pierce kids ears a lot...which is why i used plastic when i got pierced for first time keke (i thot id be sensitve to everything...)

w/ everything, try them out, if it does for w/e reason bother u..take'm out

[missyblue]

whee, awesome, a lot of feed back ^^

like all of you say, sensitive solution earrings, i think are the best for me, since i can take them off when i shouldnt be wearing them, like when im sleeping or showering

but i also shall buy some of those plastic stud earrings, cause they are too cute! ^^

and thanks again for your feedback ladies... or gents, teehee.

[fiery_raye]

yeah i was like that before .. if i every wore any fake ones it would turn all red and stuff
but now it's fine .. i don't know why ? lol

[Joanna]

it happens to me sometimes if i wear it too long. so if i wear plastic ones, i just wear it when i go out and take it off when i get back home xD hehe

[deportedkorean]

same, and it was mainly when my ears were healing...i could only use the sensitive solutions from claires or precious metals...and earrings that had "hypoallergenic" on the packaging. But now that my ears are all healed up, they can tolerate fake metals for a while.

[addickshun]

my sisters have sensitive earlobes
luckily i don't and i'm able to wear any earrings
'real earrings' are not as cute as other earrings.
