I bought two pairs of these sleepers - one for my daughter and one for me, as we got our ears pierced at the same time and they are healing very slowly for both of us. They're a bit fiddly to close (and open probably), but we got them on and don't intend to take them off for a long, long time! So far, titanium is the only metal that doesn't cause our ears to swell and get itchy. I prefer to wear gold jewellery (for the colour) but what I love about Blomdahl's titanium jewellery is that the titanium is highly polished so it almost looks like silver. Other titanium jewellery can look very dull and darker than silver. I previously bought Blomdahl's gold/titanium studs and LOVE them but I think that sleepers allow the backs of the ears to breathe and heal much better. We are in NZ and I bought these online. Shipping was fast considering covid-19 shipping delays.
