Ear-rings and masks

I lost an earing with a hook when removing my mask so I don't think hooks are the answer. I am either trying to remember to remove my earings before I go out, or wearing easily removed ones I can pull out and put in my pocket when I realise I am wearing them.

I lost a nice earring and am blaming my own carelessness when removing my facemask, so I thought I'd hunt out the sleepers I'd been given years ago when I first got the piercings done. I couldn't find them so looked on Amazon and purchased a pair. The flimsy little things were difficult to insert and impossible to close and i ended up breaking one.
What size should I be looking for? How much should I expect to pay? How do you close them? (the ones I got seemed to have one thin edge that slipped inside a hollow on the other edge, very tricky with arthritic fingers. I expected a kind of hook.
I don't want the holes to close up.
