My child left her pierced earrings on way too long. The plastic backs are hardened onto the post. They are not the flat round ones. These are small clear plastic tubes. There must be a softener of some kind, no? Please help.
omg i had this exact same thing happen to me a few weeks ago it took my boyfriend and i forever to get them off... i really dont know the best way to get them off but the way i did it was i sat there and wiggled them back and forth until they finally wiggled down far enough to get pulled off. i know this will be hard to do with a child so i hope someone on here has a better solution to this.
Place your finger nail behind it and ease it off.
this happened to me too, i had to pull VERY hard, it actually scared the hell out of me. all i did was wiggle it until it came out. no other way.
Ok after trying all the same things, my husband took a pair of wire cutters and cut the very end of the plastic back off. The left over plastic part slipped right off and the earring is still able to be used.
