How to Wear and Remove Gauged Earrings: A Simple Guide for Stretched Lobes

Featuring Stubborn Sloths Magnetic Gauged Earrings

Gauged earrings are a fun and expressive way to style stretched lobes, but not all gauges are created equal. Stubborn Sloths gauged earrings are specially designed for tunnels size 0G and up, offering a lightweight, comfortable alternative to heavy plugs and weights. Instead of traditional hooks, these earrings use front‑and‑back magnetic pieces that snap together through your tunnel — secure, stylish, and incredibly easy to wear.

Whether you’re new to stretched ears or just exploring new styles, this guide walks you through how to wear and remove magnetic gauged earrings safely, plus a look at the styles available now (and what’s coming soon).

🌿 What Makes Stubborn Sloths Gauged Earrings Unique?

Stubborn Sloths gauged earrings are crafted specifically for stretched lobes and tunnels. Each pair is:

• Designed for stretched ears (0G and larger)

• Made with magnetic front + back pieces for easy wear

• Lightweight and comfortable for all‑day use

• Available in dangles and weights, with hoops coming soon

• Handcrafted in small batches with gemstones, charms, and nature‑inspired details

These earrings hang naturally through your tunnels without tugging or adding unnecessary weight — perfect for daily wear or special occasions.

🧡 How to Wear Gauged Earrings (4 Easy Steps)

1. Grip the front and back magnet pieces

Hold both sides firmly between your fingers.
This gives you full control and prevents accidental snapping.

2. Snap the magnets apart with a gentle crack motion

They’re strong enough to stay secure, but easy to separate with a quick, controlled pull.

3. Hold the magnets near your tunnel or remove one side completely

You can either:

• keep both pieces in your hands and guide them into place, or

• insert the front piece through your tunnel and bring the back piece up behind your lobe.

4. Let the magnets snap together

They’ll click into place through your tunnel, holding the earring securely and comfortably.

💛 How to Remove Gauged Earrings (4 Easy Steps)

1. Grip the front and back magnet pieces

Support your lobe with one hand if needed.

2. Snap the magnets apart gently

Use the same controlled crack motion you used to put them on.

3. Remove the magnet pieces from your tunnel

Gripping one or both magnets, pull them away from your tunnel.

4. Snap, Clean and Store your Gauged Earrings

Allow magnets to reconnect, or “snap back”. Wipe with a soft cloth and keep them in a soft, dry place (like the padded box they ship in) to protect the gems and magnets.

🌙 Tips for Wearing Magnetic Gauged Earrings Comfortably

• Keep your tunnels clean to prevent buildup around the magnets.

• Avoid sleeping in magnetic earrings.

• If you feel tugging, switch to a lighter pair (we also have lightweight designs).

• Check your magnets occasionally to ensure they’re free of debris and jump rings are secured.

• Store earrings in soft, dry area (we ship them in a padded box that doubles as earring storage).
