What Is a Flat Back Stud? A Comprehensive Guide with LINNY CO Jewelry
Imagine rushing to work or cheering at a game, only to have your favorite stud earring slip off mid-commute or mid-cheer. That frustration hits hard, right? At LINNY CO, our flat back screw-on stud earrings change the game. They stay put through busy days, active nights, pool time, or even naps. This guide breaks it all down—what a flat back stud is, how it works, and why LINNY CO jewelry takes it to the next level.
Anatomy and Design of a Flat Back Stud
Flat back studs shine in simple, functional design. They focus on security without extra bulk, making them perfect for kids, teens, and adults alike.
Key Components
The post forms the base, often 6mm long for earlobes. A flat disc presses flush against your skin while the screw-on back grips the post securely. Unlike traditional screw-backs that twist and push on your ear, LINNY CO flat backs provide tension and comfort without snagging on hair or clothes.
Materials Matter
LINNY CO uses medical-grade stainless steel, hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. Our studs won’t irritate your ears, turn green, or tarnish when exposed to water—perfect for everyday wear, swimming, or sleeping.
Size and Fit Considerations
Posts range from 6mm–10mm for different lobe thicknesses. Discs vary from 3mm–5mm wide. LINNY CO recommends measuring your lobe or consulting our product guide to ensure the perfect fit, so studs stay snug without discomfort.
How Flat Back Studs Differ from Traditional Earrings
Push-back vs. Screw-back vs. Flat Back
- Push-back earrings slide on but can loosen and fall off.
- Traditional screw-backs twist in place but can pinch or pull on the ear.
- LINNY CO flat back studs stay secure via a smooth disc and screw-on tension—no pinching, no slipping, no fuss.
Advantages
- Comfortable for sleep, play, and sports.
- Safe for kids’ first piercings or adults adding a second or third hole.
- Durable in water and daily wear thanks to stainless steel construction.
