I saw these at Claire's last Friday and fell in love with them so bad. >.< ♥
When I returned home, I immediately attempted to put them in--but all four piercings rejected them! D:<
At first. :D
I can't remember the last time I wore anything in my lower lobes (pierced at age six), so I put in a pair of giant rose studs. Ow. Far from closed over, but they still were incredibly sore afterward. The next night I tried again with my half-hoop darlings and managed to get one in after fifteen minutes of painful maneuvering. I tried the other one about an hour later (LOL) and triumphed in about ten minutes.
Anyway, I won't even attempt the upper piercings (anymore). That'd take some sort of gauging, I think. A very little bit. Yup.
