Sleepers vs Huggies? What are the main differences?

12 Mar, 2025 · Par Camille Ouellette

Hoop earrings are a must-have for every woman. Customer favorites, Camillette's hoops are durable and stylish! We offers a variety of sizes, styles and colours. Even if they can look similar, each hoop design has their differences. Our best-sellers, the Sleeper earrings and the Huggies, are no exception.

What Are Sleeper Earrings?

Sleeper earrings are designed to be worn all the time. Their thin hoop makes them really comfortable for day to day wear. As their name suggest, you can comfortably sleep with them on. Since they are so light, you will forget you're wearing them. They truly are the most convenient pair of earrings you can own.

Their endless hoop shape circle your ear lobe. The closure system is almost invisible, procuring a clean look. They are timeless staple and perfect for people who don't like changing earrings often.

Although, because they are not made to be changed quite often, Sleeper earrings can be a bit difficult to put on and remove. You have to make sure not to open them too widely, because you might break them in the process as they are thin and delicate.

What Are Huggies Earrings?

Huggies are lightweight and designed to sit snugly against your earlobe, as if giving it a gentle hug. They come in a variety of styles, from bold and statement-making to sleek and minimal.

You can wear them while sleeping and during your daily activities. However, they are slightly less comfortable for sleeping than the Dormeuses, as they are thicker.

Their opening mechanism is easier to use compared to sleepers. Our Huggies feature a traditional and convenient hinge clasp for effortless wear.

So What Are the Main differences?

1. Hoop thickness

Huggies are thicker than Sleepers, making them more of a fashion statement. If you prefer a more subtle look or a pair you can wear permanently without worrying, then sleeper earrings would be a better option for you.

2. Openning and closure system

Huggies are simpler to put on and remove because of their hinge clasp. Dormeuses do not have a clasp as they are not made to be remove frequently. They are harder to put on and remove.

3. Sizes

We have a large variety of sizes and styles of sleeper earrings and huggies. One thing to remember, the smaller the hoop, the hardest it is to put on and remove. It's especially the case for our smaller size of sleepers, the 9mm. Furthermore, depending on where on your earlobe you want to wear the hoop, choose the size accordingly. Think about the size and thickness of your lobe.
