With six of my 10 fingers being numb, I can't put on earrings with the post configuration. My husband does it for me but he's not always here, like right now. Does anyone know of a product that converts stud earrings into something much easier to put on?  Thanks

Yes, there is an earring finding called Convertiblez. Put your post earring through their earring design and you end up with leverback earrings.

That's interesting.  With my short hair I'd be worried about how that looks from the back.

Why are your fingers numb, @monicakm?  I have trouble from arthritis but I wouldn't describe that as numbness.

I am so glad to asked this question since I have the same problem with numbness. I have switched to leverbacks since they are easier to get on (takes me 10-15 minutes if my husband isn't available) but I have so many studs I could be wearing. Happy to know about this product to adapt them.

Thank you, I just bought a set.

@monicakm --yep--I have that too--all 10 fingers at the tips---used to be much worse--mine are from strong chemo in 2012. They are much  better now,  but still sometimes, I need help--after I scream and pitch a fit from that being so annoying!!

I bought some studs to the jeweler and he converted them for me. I do not trust anything that is temporary.
