I did the fishing line trick 25lb line works well cut about 1/2 inch lonch and melted a little at 1 end so it doesnt fall right thru. The longer you can leave the original studs the better, and when you take the nylon out and switch back to the studs do so very carefully as not to upset the healing and replace them with your starter studs as some earrings have a higher nickel content which will agrevate them.
