Can I wear my earrings during sports?Updated a month ago

For most sports, you can cover your new earrings with a bandage or tape to protect them. However, check with your team or league, as rules can vary. If you need to remove your earrings, we strongly recommend putting them back in immediately and following your aftercare instructions. Never force the stud back into your ear.

It's important not to remove your new earrings during the initial healing period — 3 weeks for lobes and 8 weeks for cartilage. If you remove your earrings during this time, you risk the piercing closing, which may require a repiercing. We recommend keeping earrings in 24/7 for the first year to ensure proper healing and avoid complications. Please note that if your piercings close up, we will unfortunately not be able to offer a complimentary re-pierce.

If you're looking for a safe alternative for sports, check out Rowan Sports Studs! These hypoallergenic silicone studs with soft backs are designed for use during physical activities without disrupting the healing process.
