ok so i only have one fully functional hand to work w/ which makes it impossible to get the back of an earring on. i was wondering if anybody had any ideas to where i could. thanks in advance.

Crap. I thought that said Earnings... Try to make money with one good hand... ya know..

Anyways..


Clip on's are all the rage these days.


And on another note.. I use one hand to put in my earrings all the time. Lil diamond studs.. not loops or anything. Its pretty easy, just use your middle finger to hold the earring in place.. other fingers can put that back on. Or use your thumb to hold it in place, and let your fingers do the rest.

Those little stick on earrings are cool still, as well.

in uk there are some earrings available that have a back that just flicks down once you've put them in, dont know if theyre available in other countries or not, argos used to sell them but not in the new catalogue if i remember the make i'll post it on here.
also there are these type on usa ebay with french back they push through then clip flips up Item number: 180337317596
or there are lever backs as in attatched photo
(you should be able to find these type of backs by putting leverback earrings into your search engine, hope this helps
just remember the name of those earrings theyre called Androlock earrings, mostly stud type earrings with a bar that flips up instead of a butterfly, but not sure where you can buy them from

the little bar is hinged so you set it straight like a normal post push it through your ear then simply flick the bar to horizontal so it stays in place, then flip it down to simply pull earring back out.
we brought my nan some a few years ago, she'd had a stroke and lost use down her left side but managed them well with her right hand (sadly shes sinced passed on bless her) i'd have thought theyd work for you.wendy

Those are really pretty, but wouldn't you be able to see the backs of them when you look at them?

dont remember being able to see backs when my nan wore them, the backs flip so i guess if you had that bit sticking downwards you would see it but as long as you had back flipped upwards or even toside i dont think you should be able to see it, not tried them myself but as i say dont remember that being a problem when nan had some.
