Curating the perfect ear stack is all about personalisation, balance, and most importantly, compatibility. When it comes to body jewellery, especially for your ears, choosing the right labret post type (also known as the thread type) is key to ensuring comfort, durability, and a secure fit for your favourite attachments.

Flat black labrets are specifically designed for ear, nose, or lip piercings. Unlike traditional butterfly backs, flat backs provide consistent comfort, making them ideal for everyday wear and sleeping.

There are three main types of labret threads, each with unique features that can influence your decision: externally threaded, internally threaded, and threadless. Understanding the differences will help you make the best choice for your piercing needs.

External Threaded

Externally threaded labret posts are designed with visible threads on the outside of the post itself. To secure jewellery, the compatible attachment must be carefully screwed onto the exposed thread of the labret.

Internal Threaded

Internally threaded labret posts feature threading on the inside of the post, allowing compatible attachments to be securely screwed into the post.

Threadless

All threadless attachment pins come pre-bent to ensure a secure fit when inserted into the threadless labret post. For proper placement, you should feel or hear a slight “click” that indicates the attachment is securely in place.
