Clip-on earrings are designed to fit anyone. This can create a problem,         however, as some of us have very thin ear lobes and some more fleshy   ones. For the same earring to fit a very slender earlobe, the wearer with a   fleshy lobe may find the earring uncomfortable. For this reason it is good to   know how to adjust the tension on clip-on earrings. Please note that a little   change in tension can make a huge difference in comfort. Conversely a big   change may mean that your earrings will not stay on. View our video   on  how to adjust clip on earrings for more information.
