ez-Release Earring Remover

My 5-year-old daughter had her ears pierced about 6 months before I bought this product. We had left the starter studs in as long as recommended for healing, and then attempted to change them. Because her starters were flat little flowers, it was tough for me to get any kind of grip on them to get them out, and the backs were really tight, so I had trouble every time. The earring would end up coming out so fast that any dirt or build-up on the stud would rip through her ear along with it and the hole would bleed. I'd make sure to let it heal before attempting it again, but it was becoming an endless cycle and even after 6 months they weren't healed correctly. Eventually she wouldn't let me near her ears, even to look at them. I didn't know what else to do, so I searched online for "how to change daughter's earrings" and this product came up in the search results. I do think it's a bit overpriced for being nothing but a little plastic gadget, but it had really good reviews and seemed like the best solution to the problem, so I bought it anyway. It took me a week after receiving it to convince my daughter to let me try it, but we were both happy that it lived up to the hype and managed to get out her tough starter studs without any pain. There was a little bit of a trick to getting the gadget to line up with the end of the stud, but once I had that figured out, it worked like a charm. Now her ears have been able to truly heal and we're able to change her earrings whenever she chooses. It is a little pricey for what it is, but it works!

I was so happy to find this product! When both my daughters got their ears pierced at the same time, I began dreading when the 2 months would be up and I would have to take them off. I remember how much my mom struggled getting my starter pair off when I was a kid. I watched a youtube video on using bobby pins as a lever to accomplish this, but honestly it looked like a risky approach that could do more harm than good. to I had no idea if there was a product like this out there, but I searched anyway and found this. It is absolutely brilliant! When the day came to removing the earrings, my girls were very apprehensive. I held my breath as I followed the instructions and placed the little prongs through the holes in the earring back. Gave a little squeeze and voila! The earring came right off. My daughter did not feel a thing. I proceeded to do the other 3 ears and then we had all the earrings out in less than 2 minutes. Everyone said, "Wow, that was so easy." The downside is, that it's not really a product that will get a lot of repeat use, but it was totally worth it to me to relieve the anxiety that both I and my girls had over this process.

There's a video showing this product in use. I had to use more strength than what is shown and it took a bit to get the right spot lined up just so with the earring post. Not the easiest task with a terrified 5 yr old who is anxious b/c of all the previous failed attempts to get the starter earrings out. I still rate it highly b/c it's the only thing that worked and it didn't hurt her ear. I feel it was worth the money b/c there was almost no other alternative. Prying them out just wasn't working.

I loved it! Until it broke... Which was probably after about 10 uses. Once it breaks it's completely useless. Change out the prongs from plastic to metal and it may last longer. Tempted to buy again but not if it's going to break immediately again

This tool did not help me. The instuctions were unclear. An actual picture would have helped. I feel I wasted my money.

IT WORKS!! Fortunately for me, this thing did exactly what it was supposed to do. I read some reviews mentioning that the device was flimsy and broke easily, so I was pretty ready to be one of those cases because my earring was stuck so, SO badly (I had tried to remove it in every way you could think of - hands, hands with gloves, pliers, etc.) and it was a 16g earring instead of the usual 20g. The post of the earring was also not sticking out past the loops on the back, so I was worried that there wouldn't be enough leverage for the back to be popped off. But I was quickly coming up on my last option for removing this earring - which was to go to the freaking ER - so I decided to give this a try. And thank God, it worked on the first try. Super easy to use, super straight-forward, and it popped the back right off with minimal pain (my ear was a little bit sore already from battling the earring a couple days ago, so if it weren't for that it probably would have been painless). I couldn't believe it. I can now definitely recommend this to anyone who has had a face-off with those darn butterfly backs, as I honestly can say that I think this would work on *most* earrings with those backs if it worked on mine. It might be nice to see this item made out of a slightly sturdier material in the future, but at least it did the job!

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this before! This device saved my daughter from a trip to the emergency room! For some reason her earlobes like to become "one" with whatever earrings she uses. We have to keep an eye out and not let her keep post earrings in for more than a day or two. However, before discovering this, her earring backs had become completely covered with skin. She said, "I think I lost my earring backs." I could tell by looking at it that it was embedded. LUCKILY, I had ordered this gem to get her studs out from when she had first pierced her ears. I was able to maneuver the back out enough to fit just one of the posts in, and it came out quickly and painlessly. I was so grateful that I told myself I was immediately going to review this item. That was a year ago. Better late then never! Get this device!!!

My lifesaver done the job and im a happy customer
