Find the Perfect Huggie Hoops Size for You

We all love a great pair (or pairs!) of huggies. Comfortable and generally lightweight, huggies are hoops with a diameter of 5mm - 15 mm. Huggies are the perfect style of hoops to avoid getting tangled in your hair or rubbing against your pillow. 

Finding the right size huggie can be tricky. Everyone's ears are different and their piercings may sit higher or lower on their lobes. Read on to learn how to measure your ear for the perfect fit.

Measure your piercing and calculate the perfect size huggie

Step 1: Get a ruler that measures in centimeters and millimeters. While you can use inches, millimeters are going to give you the most accurate measurement. 

Step 2: Measure from the piercing to the bottom of your lobe or to the outside edge of your helix. If you are measuring for a pair of earrings, be sure to measure your other ear. Our bodies are not symmetrical and you'll want to use the larger measurement in case there is a slight difference between your ears.

Step 3: Add 1-2 mm (or more) to this measurement depending upon how snug you want the huggie to sit. This is the huggie’s inner diameter.

You'll see in our model's picture below, her first lobe piercing is just over 8 mm and her second lobe piercing is 7 mm. For a snug fit, she will want huggies with an inner diameter of 9 mm and 8 mm. 

Snug Fit

For a snug fit, she is wearing huggies with an inner diameter of 9 mm in her first piercing. In her second piercing, the huggie has an inner diameter of 7.5 mm making it just a little tight. 

Semi-snug (first piercing) and Looser Fit (second piercing)

For a semi-snug fit in her first piercing, she is wearing huggies with an inner diameter of 11 mm and for a looser fit in her second piercing, the huggies have an inner diameter of 9.5 mm.

As you can see, once you know your measurements, finding the right huggie can be a breeze once you know your measurements and the type of fit you are looking for.
