Hey friends! It’s Brit — founder of Pierced Co, earring-obsessed mama, and firm believer that your kids (and you) deserve cute, comfortable earrings you never have to think twice about.
When my daughter got her ears pierced, I had one big rule: no itchy, red, irritated ears. I wanted earrings that were safe, durable, and adorable. Spoiler alert: they didn’t exist… so I made them.
Now that we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of moms find earrings their kids can live in, I want to share why hypoallergenic earrings aren’t just a good idea — they’re an absolute must.
1. Kids’ Ears Are More Sensitive Than Ours
If your little one has ever complained that her ears feel hot or itchy, chances are it’s not the piercing — it’s the metal. Most earrings (especially the inexpensive ones from big box stores) contain nickel, brass, or other metals that can easily irritate sensitive skin.
That’s why every Pierced Co earring is made with 316L surgical-grade stainless steel — the same material used in medical implants. It’s non-reactive, nickel-free, and safe for even the most sensitive ears.
That means no redness, no irritation, and no “Mom, my ears hurt!” moments.
2. Comfortable Enough to Sleep In (and Live In)
Kids are constantly on the move — running, jumping, swimming, and napping. They need earrings that can keep up with their active lives.
Our earrings are designed for 24/7 wear: sweat-proof, sleep-proof, swim-proof, and basically life-proof.
And our flat screw-backs are a total game-changer. No poking, no catching on hair or clothes — just a smooth, secure back that keeps earrings comfortable day and night. My daughter forgets she’s even wearing them, which is the ultimate mom win.
3. Healing Made Easy
Those first few weeks after a new piercing can be stressful, but with hypoallergenic earrings, the healing process is so much smoother.
Because our stainless steel doesn’t irritate the skin, kids’ ears heal faster and happier. There’s no need to take them out, switch pairs, or deal with infections.
Just calm, happy ears and a confident little one who gets to wear her new earrings proudly.
4. Safe Doesn’t Mean Boring
Let’s be honest — kids want cute. And I wanted earrings that were just as fun as the colorful, inexpensive ones you see everywhere… but actually safe to wear.
That’s why Pierced Co earrings come in so many fun shapes and colors — from rainbows and butterflies to hearts and stars. We even have matching styles for moms who want to coordinate.
Hypoallergenic and adorable really can go hand in hand.
5. Quality That Lasts
You know that drawer full of “almost okay” earrings? I was done with that.
Our earrings are made to last — no tarnishing, no fading, no mystery metal that flakes or turns green. Every Pierced Co pair is made from surgical-grade stainless steel that’s 100% hypoallergenic, nickel-free, lead-free, and safe for daily wear.
That means fewer replacements, fewer tears, and way more sparkle per dollar.
6. The Easiest Gift Ever
Whether it’s a first piercing, a birthday, or a “just because” moment, hypoallergenic earrings make the sweetest and most practical gift.
And if you love surprises, our monthly earring subscription is the best way to keep the excitement going. Each month, you’ll get new styles delivered right to your door — all hypoallergenic and designed for 24/7 wear.
It’s the easiest way to keep your little one (and maybe yourself) feeling fresh and confident all year long.
From My Family to Yours
At the end of the day, Pierced Co isn’t just about earrings — it’s about confidence. It’s about giving kids jewelry they can love and live in without pain or worry.
