Help, I didn't know getting these earrings out would be such a hassle!?

I am a male, I I got my ear pierced around 2 months ago. My problem is I play soccer so I constantly have to take the earring out and put it back in. I still use the same earring that I got pierced with, and I have read that they are harder to take out than normal earrings because it has a deeper notch and larger gauge. What types of earrings are easier to take out/put in? I'm talking studs, and in the range of 20-25$.

You are correct about your piercing stud being more difficult to take out and put back in because of the thicker post and deeper notch. You should be able to purchase many styles of stud earrings in the price range you have suggested at any kiosk or store in the mall that sells earrings. You will probably have to purchase your earrings in pairs rather than singles. Try places such as Piercing Pagoda, Claire's and Icings. Another reason your piercing stud is more difficult to put in your ear than regular earrings is because of the sharp point on the end of the post. When my children had their ears pierced, as soon as their piercing studs were removed I had a jeweler file the sharp points off of them so they could wear them like regular earrings. You may want to do the same.
