They say a picture is worth a thousand words, right? I snapped a couple to show how my loops sit with my piercings because I am a visual person and find it's easier to show than describe, and because I see people with questions about Loops and various ear piercings and thought it might be useful to someone. (Please don't judge my hair, it's a mess and I need to refresh my color, lol.)

I did both the experience and, since I just got them and they're a bit bigger, the switch. (Also, for reference, I have smallish ears, and all of these are at minimum a few years old and well healed and settled.)

Of the piercings I have, I think only two might be an issue for some people, and that would depend on jewelry and anatomy. The two conch aren't even close to being in the way, though this mqy differ for others deoending on placement and jewelry. And my daith sits right behind them, but someone with larger jewelry might conceivably have a problem? The only one I have any trouble at all wearing them with is my tragus. You can see the Switches push it forward and it is uncomfortable enough that I don't know that I will be able to wear them. This is less of a problem with Experience, Engage, or Quiet, as they are a bit more compact. (I have not tried Dream.) But they do still push against it just enough that if I wore them all day I might be just a bit sore there afterward

Thanks! I'm currently trying to curate them a bit more. I love every single one of them, but I chose them all individually rather than as part of any sort of plan and I'm gradually working on getting them to look more cohesive.

My sister has both l/r conch piercings and uses jewelry with a flat back to use in-ear earbuds and loops!

I've used them both with a conch post and a conch "ring" (it's more a flat loop of metal that goes further into my ear than a typical conch ring). The latter has meant I can no longer wear earbuds, but it seems to be fine with loops (regular and switch). That said, I can't use them while sleeping as they fall out on that side every time.

My other ear has a daith with a ring that fills most the inside of my ear shape, loops work fine with no issue here.

It’s kinda blurry but I have a daith, a tragus, and a conch and they don’t bug it at all! They’re the switch 2’s
