Stud Catch Sunk

Earrings and studs never seem to be a problem to anyone else. Why then does all the problems land on my plate. Washing my face first thing this morning and my earring stud catch just dived into the sink and down the plug hole. This is the third one I've lost in the space of three months. What do you have to do other than take it off ever time you wash. Maybe I should.
