Am I supposed to sleep in my earrings?

I have had my ears pierced for exactly 7 weeks, now. Today i just went back to Claire's and I bought 9 pairs of really pretty gem stud earrings for $9.50. I was wondering since the piercers tell you to "keep some type of stud earrings in your ears at all times for the first 6 months"





Right now i have the same golden stud ball earrings in that i got when i got my ears pierced. Tonight i am about to change my earrings into a pair of my new ones. But i am wondering since it says "At all times" does that mean i have to sleep in them tonight, too? And take a shower in them? Or how long can it be when i dont have any earrings in?





This is my first time every getting my ears pierced, so please dont think this is a stupid question, because i have never done any of this before.





Thanks alot to whoever replies!

Its a good bet to keep them in as long as they dont bother you. Make sure to clean them daily and sanitize them at least monthly. Since they are, lets face it, cheaper earrings expect to replace them when they get tarnished. After a year of having your ears pierced it wont be a big deal to take them out for longer periods of time.
Reply:you shouldn't take them off when you sleep i did it before and in the morning it was really hard for me to put them back on so you should wait a while until you sleep with them off i can sleep with them off now cuz i got mine done like when i was 7 now im like 12
Reply:Yes, you sleep and shower in them. I think 2 or 3 days is how long you should leave them out.
Reply:yes you should keep the studs in for a few more months until the ears get used to having earrings in them. i try and piece my ears a few times but with allergys i am not able to wear them.


studs are better and not hurt as you sleep or wash your hair.
Reply:It is a really good idea to sleep with them in and you can even shower with them in if you would like! Ive had my ears pierced for 9 years and i always have a pair of earrings in no matter what im doing!
Reply:yes you must sleep in them. I took them off for 1 night cause my grandparets got me new ones and I got a infection which never healded so I still have to live with the mistake I made 16 years ago
Reply:Yes, you are supposed to sleep and shower in them until your 6 months are over. If you take them out, don't leave them out longer than about a day, because the holes could possibly crust over and you would have to poke your earrings thru. that could be painful. So, i wouldn't advise taking them out at all, excepting to change earrings. good luck! :)
