My band's singer recently got herself a set of shure psm 600 in ears.

She loves them, but finds they limit here stage presence because if she jumps around a lot, they fall out way too easily. Anyone know any tricks of the trade for keeping this from happening?
 
Are the in-ear monitors like earbuds, or do they actually insert into the ear canal?

If they insert into the canal, a little bit of mineral oil will help them seat farther into her ear, and they'll be less likely to fall out. Lacking mineral oil, giving them a lick (literally) will do the same.
 
staples, big-assed ones like used in construction :D
 
Is their some shure E4's or something with the removeable rubber/foam things you can get custom inserts for her ears.

If they are PSM 600's than they should have come with the E3's which have three different size covers. Try the yellow foam ones. If that doesn't help, get custom molds. Not only will they sound better, but they will also fit better and reject more outside noise resutling in a lower IEM volume. This will help save some hearing, put less stress on the ear pieces, and help keep both the transmitter and receiver from ever hitting the built in limiter (which sounds awful).
 
We use the E2's and E3's, and I personally use the E2's which are cheaper, but in my opinion sound better, or at least handle the bass much better.....

Anyway, each set of ear buds should have came with a "kit" with an assortment of different size and style covers for the ear buds. I've found that for me the smaller clear covers work the best, and one I get them set in there good,...they ain't coming out.

It's also equally important to make sure that the receiver and ear bud cord are secured properly so that there will be no tugging on the ear buds as well.
