How to remove flat back earrings?
Here are three ways to remove flat back earrings.
One method is for people whose earrings are not stuck but don’t know how to remove them.
And the other two methods are for people whose flat back earrings are stuck.
Method 1: How to remove flat back earrings for beginners?
Removing flat back earrings is very simple.
- Hold the body of the earring tightly with your fingers and rotate the flat back anti-clockwise to open the earring.
- This will separate the flat back from the post and the earring will come out with ease.
- If the flat back doesn’t rotate then follow method 2.

If the flat back of the earring refuses to rotate and the chances are that either there is some wear and tear on the threads of the post or there is some build-up.
- Here what you can do is lube the post of the earrings with some petroleum jelly or vaseline and put some on your earlobe too.

If the post is stuck in the piercing it means that some dirt, dried blood, and some more things had blocked the piercing.
- Take a cotton swab or cotton ball and dip it in some rubbing alcohol.
- Now gently pat the cotton ball on the ear lobe, especially on the piercing.
- What this will do is, it will unclog the piercing.
- Now let it dry for a few minutes and now carefully pull out the earring.
