Many people shy away from clip on earrings because they fear that they are painful.  When clip on earrings were first introduced decades ago they were known to pinch the ear.  Manufacturers believed that the earrings had to be tight to ensure they didn’t fall off. This would often leave the woman wearing the clip on earrings with very painful and red ear lobes.  They would breathe a sigh of relief when the end of the day was near and they could remove the earrings and give their ears a much needed break.

That’s not the case anymore as clip on earrings are now designed for maximum comfort.  It’s not unusual for a woman to put on clip on earrings and then completely forget that she’s wearing them. Clip on earrings are also ideal for children.  Although you don’t want to place too small of an earring on a child who is prone to putting things in her mouth for fear that she’ll pull the earring off and swallow it.

For a slightly older child though they make a wonderful alternative to pierced earrings.  The little girl gets the chance to wear an earring without having to endure the pain and possible complications that come with having your ears pierced. Clip on earrings are a perfect way to add accessories to your wardrobe.  With their ease of application and affordable price you can incorporate a new pair into your look every day of the week.
