LABRET STUDS
Labret studs are the most popular type of piercing stud and it is easy to see why - they offer superior comfort and are easy to change. Labret studs have a flat back that lies close to the skin, giving a streamlined and very comfortable feel. They are most associated with lip piercings but labrets are also suitable for wearing in ear and nose piercings.

✔️ Labret Studs as LIP Jewellery
Labret studs were originally designed for use in lip piercings and they are perfectly suited to the task. The flat backplane on a labret stud sits smoothly against the teeth or gums, so it is much more comfortable than a ring. A labret is also much less likely to get caught on clothing etc. This is especially important during healing, as catching your jewellery while the piercing is still fresh can really damage the piercing.

✔️ Labret Studs as EAR Jewellery
Labret studs make excellent jewellery for a variety of ear piercings, from ear lobes to conch and upper ear piercings. They function in the same way as a butterfly-back earring but are more comfortable. This is because the back plate is flat and cannot poke into your skin. This clean, compact fit is perfect for ear piercings. The back of the labret stud is comfortable and hidden away.

✔️ Labret Studs as NOSE Jewellery
Smaller labret studs make great nose studs because they are very secure and cannot fall out. Most traditional nose studs are curved and are simply twisted into the nose piercing so they tend to slip out. However, once a labret stud is in place it cannot slip out and the flat back plate is very comfortable inside the nostril.
