Flat Back Earrings: The Ultimate Guide to Comfort & Style
If you're looking for earrings that perfectly combine comfort, style, and security, flat back earrings are your best choice. This innovative earring type is designed specifically for daily wear, piercing health, and versatility. Here's everything you need to know about flat back earrings, including the different types available, how to wear them, and why they’re quickly becoming a must-have accessory.
WHAT ARE FLAT BACK EARRINGS?
Flat back earrings are designed with a smooth, flat disc on the back side instead of the traditional butterfly backing. This unique design means the post won't poke or irritate your skin, offering superior comfort, especially when sleeping or wearing headphones.
TYPES OF FLAT BACK EARRINGS
There are two main types of flat back earrings:
Internally-Threaded Flat Back Earrings:
With internally-threaded flat back earrings, the threading (or screw) is on the inside of the post. The top decorative piece screws into the post, making them safe and comfortable, especially for new or sensitive piercings. They're a popular choice for cartilage, helix, tragus, conch, lobe and nose piercings. Explore our carefully curated selection of 14K solid gold Internally-Threaded Flat Back Earrings here.
Push-in (Threadless) Flat Back Earrings:
Threadless push-in earrings have a slightly curved pin on the decorative top, which you push into the hollow post. They're easy to use if you love regularly updating your ear look.
HOW TO WEAR FLAT BACK EARRINGS (INTERNALLY-THREADED)
Putting on internally threaded flat back earrings is easy:
-
Unscrew the front design counterclockwise from the flat-back post.
-
Insert the flat-back post through the back of your ear until it comes out the front.
-
Screw the front design clockwise onto the flat-back post.
Important: Avoid bending or pulling the front design; gently unscrew it to open the earring.
WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE FLAT BACK EARRINGS

Comfort: The flat backing rests smoothly against your ear, reducing pressure and irritation. Ideal for continuous wear, sleeping, exercising, or wearing headphones.
