To achieve the look of a pair of huggies without discomfort, consider an omega back instead.
For thicker lobes, we simply adjust them to a looser position.

Everything about them is quality.
The hinges are of high quality.
They are not too heavy.
Also, I have thick earlobes, the post is more than long enough.
They would make great Christmas gifts.
They even have a hypoallergenic adhesive that keeps them in place despite hot weather, sweating, or swimming.
