    Deb, Check with findings suppliers.  Often, you can buy plastic or
    rubber pads that slip over the clip loop like a sleeve or snap into
    them to creating a pad.  They add gripping quality and comfort. 
    Another option might be to alter the pad on the earring.  Maybe it
    needs to be larger or raised higher. Some people have such thin lobes
    that the usual tension settings don't work. 

HTH,
Donna
