Will la pousettes fit any earring? I need new backs for my pear drop earrings. I lost one of the originals and the other has to be tightened every time I wear them (friction backs).

I can't find la pousettes here - if one size fits all, can I order a pair with my next DBL purchase? (It would be overkill to have FedEx bring a pair of earring backs to me from NY, so I'll wait until my next order! Grin)

I put my la pousettes on my princess studs and it was a bit snug, aka not a good idea... I'm not sure, ask David... I know they cost more though than friction...

HI Everyone!
The la pousette system is two parts- the back with the squeezie parts- and the post.
The post is a bit different than a standard one- although as Snoop noted, you can use them on other posts ...maybe.

They are really cool- and have a lot of great points.
BUT- remember that the simplicity of a srping, or friction back is hard to top.
If it gets loose you can sometimes fix them with your fingers.

I am afraid I am a real dummy.  What are friction backs please?

These:

Basically there's, well.. friction when you pull them on and off.  Resistance if you will?  That's what comes to mind...

I have these on all my earrings except for my RB which have la pousette.  My friction ones are very sturdy
