If you're reading this, this is your reminder to make sure your jewelry is properly tightened. I bought a replacement because it came loose and was long gone before I noticed. I was wearing a shaped end, so it probably came unscrewed from catching on something. I've never had a round "bead" end come loose. Between that and liking the way this post fits my anatomy, I was more than willing to buy a new one so I could keep wearing my threaded ends. If you're not good about regularly tightening your jewelry, stick with round ends and you should be happy with these.

I don't know if all threaded 18g labrets are like this, but the edge is sharp! It scratched my piercing. Using an insertion taper to put these in would probably prevent that from happening. Other than that issue, this labret post seems decent enough.
