What is the difference between Huggies and hoops

Huggies, a small type of hoop earring, are close to your earlobe. Although hoop earrings come in a range of sizes, they don't measure as closely to the ear as huggies. The hoop diameter of hoops is just as important as the design.

 

What Size do I Need

Hoop Gauge various from 16g to 20g, depending on the location you want to put in. And the hoop diameter you need will depend on your anatomy and personal preference. If your piercing is closer to the edge of your ear or want the hoop to be more snug, then a smaller diameter hoop workers better.
