Earring keeps falling out

What can I do to stop earrings from falling out? I already had to replace them twice and other times have thankfully found them
They are have a clasp not a post. Someone mentioned to me to put clear nailpolish on the clasp. Anyone try it? Does it work? Will it "glue" it shut (making it difficult to take off when I want to?
Any other ideas?

My neighbor crazy glues his high school daughter's earrings together so they stay in her ear. They assure me it works.

It sounds like you just need the tension on the clasp adjusted. Where it is too loose tighten it.

As squishy said, push the two prongs of the clasp closer together and you should feel some resistance when you close the earring. I like the idea of crazy gluing it.

Is this for you or your dd? Cuz if it's for a baby or a little girl, maybe this is G-d's way of telling you to wait till she's older. JMHO.

Come to think of it, the hole probably won't close anyway. I'm waiting for dd's ripped earring hole to close up and it's been five years already and nothing doing.

This is a 5 year old that's had her ears pierced since she was an infant. Since she outgrew baby earrings she's on her 3 or 4 pair. Last time I ordered half a pair to keep the cost down but it's getting out of hand. I tried different clasps too hoping it would make a difference....
Also, her earrings are NEVER taken out & she doesn't play with them. So if it falls out its totally on its own. I assume it gets looser everything she pulls a shirt over her head. What can I do to stop it from happening?

Are you me? My daughters earring always falls out. I did notice that its always the same side though so it must be how she sleeps.

I was advised to get screwbacks but I havent found any and I cant imagnie her sitting still enough for that.

Screwbacks are very hard to find for this age. They're more for babies which is what she used to have. I would get them for her if I found them but right now I really want to find a way to make these work

Switch to hoop earrings?
