Hmmm. I don’t think they’re particularky thick, but you’re right. My seconds are the holes losing earrings the most and they’re higher up in a thicker spot.

But my lower lobes are going rogue as well, higher rate but not as ridiculous as the upper ones. My regular lower lobes have been fine for years and they have been regularly losing leverbacks too.

Still it feels like the studs do have their butterfly back “click” into the post recess even on my seconds. They always feel secure when I first put them in, anyways!
