I already purchased sony tips, they're ok... decent seal in my ear. Comply foam tips are too expensive though

You might want to tell us what IEM we are talking here so people won't recommend you eartips of the wrong size bore that doesn't fit yours.

Comfort in an IEM is priceless...

Comply Foam tips are not.

But, I just bought a 120 pair for 1.33 dollars a pair.

Expensive? I didn't think that was alot.

Sorry to hear that...
 
Hope it turns around for you soon.
 
What size Comply Foam tips do you use?
 
Thanks, Jim

Never used comply foam tips.. I do use sony hybrids, although the largest one only creates a decent seal.
 
This is one of my first times purchasing tips without earphones..

Only thing I know is that the double flange tips that come with MEELECS fit really well, but I lost 1 at the gym..

It really depends on IEM and your actual ear.  Each person will have a different tip that will work well.  Although suggestions will send you in a certain direction, that direction is uncertain.  It may be the right direction, but at times maynot be.  So keep that in mind.  The IEM is a requirement though, otherwise, we can't say anything.  Also always try the stock tips that come with IEMs.  Much of the time, tips are tuned into the IEM (as they can change sound).

Which brand and model IEM do you have?

Model is more important than brand.  A lot more important.  Unless, of course, the brand uses the same generic shape in all their models.

I posted earlier.. Monoprice 8320s and meelectronics m31s

Monoprice looks more like a shallow insertion, you may benefit more by using a normal silicone tip that is more round and less bullet shaped (Hybrids may not work the best here).  UE silicone may be a good bet.  Foam tips may work though (Shure Olives or Comply Foam)  A larger tip generally does better here.  For MEE, I would actually recommend something like a pair of Hybrids, or the MEE long bullet tips (I forget which model they came from).  Klipsch oval tips can also prove good as well.  Dual/triple flange tips may prove useful if your ear can get good seals with them (I generally can't get a good seal with anything but an Etymotic triple flange outside single flanges).  Once again, foam tips may be good as well (Shure or Comply; again).  
 
Can't give more specific details until I know the nozzle size of the Monoprice and size of tips you are currently using (for hybrids).

My point was stated.  Knowing brand will give you little information on what he wants.  It was 100% relevant and not to "school" you.

Currently using the light green/light blue tips, getting a good seal is a huge fuss with them though. I particularly liked the double flange provided with the m31, but can't find them for sale by themselves

You can only get them as a set.  You can try to ask CS for a purchasing options (to get only dual flange).  No promises though.
