Antimony, I have totally changed what I use to secure post earrings, especially the heavy vintage ones (after having a lovely AB earring go flying during a spin!). Now I ditch whatever back is on the earrings and use clear rubber earnuts. They're little ribbed bits with a hole punched through them, originally designed to keep the sphepherd's-crook earwires from slipping off once you've put them on. I keep the original backs on the earrings for my customers, but offer a pair of earnuts when they purchase.
My hubby orders these for me when he orders his jewelry-making supplies. Just checked the batch I currently have and they're from Rio Grande, 1-800-545-6566, stock number 635723, and they come by the gross.
This may be more info than you want but I thought I would write it down since I actually had the information near my computer. That doesn't happen very often!
