Flatback Earrings: Comfort and Style in One
Once you’ve tried flatback jewelry, there’s no going back. These sleek, comfortable pieces are loved not just for piercings, but also as everyday earrings. And it’s easy to see why: flatbacks combine timeless style with unbeatable comfort and top-quality materials.
What Are Flatback Earrings and Piercings?
A flatback (also known as a labret stud) has a smooth, flat disc on the back instead of a butterfly clasp or clicker. That means no poking, no snagging, and no irritation, just pure comfort. You can even sleep with them in without feeling a thing.
Flatbacks are perfect for piercings like helix, tragus or conch, but they’re also becoming a go-to choice for classic ear piercings. They’re stylish, minimalist, and designed for daily wear.

Butterfly Clasp vs Flatback Stud
This isn't a decided battle perse, but chosing flatback studs over butterfly clasps can have a very distinct advantage. Butterfly clasps are great for short term earrings and jewelry wear, they make changing quick and easy and you'll be able to put the clasp back on without too much hassle, usually. Just make sure to take out your jewelry at night, since the clasp may get embedded in your neck or ear and it'll make a great catch for tangled hair.
Flatback studs are in a lot of ways the best option for longer term, secure wear. Just take a look at the picture below and you'll see why. The back of the jewelry is small, clean and smooth. The chances of your catching in your jewelry are very small, and you'll probably sleep a lot easier without prickly clasps pinching your neck or ear. Flatbacks are also very secure, they will stay put under a lot of circumstances. And if you choose our threadless styles you'll see that you can still easily change the style of the jewelry top without difficulty.
