Anyone using oval retainer rings?

I don't know how unusual this is, but I kind of struggle with the round retainer rings. I'm a grower and I never really appreciated how hard it'll pull when I shrink. I'm average size, but at times (like if I'm doing heavy yard work, or just very unaroused) I'll shrink down to basically nothing. I'm currently in a smaller cage, 55mm from base ring to tip, measured diagonally from the top ring to the tip. That mostly works, anything longer and I'll pull out of even a large (for me) retaining ring. Painfully.

I'm in an E1 tube and an 11mm fits in easily, 12 fits with a little pain, and a 13 will fit with a fair bit of pain and forcing. Lube in all cases. A 12 can pull out (pretty painfully). I haven't had a 13mm pull out yet, but it feels like it's starting to pull out and just sitting there painfully stretching, like riding up on the skin ring.

I saw that original site he had some oval retaining rings which makes a lot of sense. Like a 12mm x 16mm oval seems like it'd be a lot more secure. I'd love something that fits securely behind the skin ring and doesn't just sit there burning like it's trying to work its way out.

Any experience with them or recommendations? My longest wear has been 3 days, and it was if anything getting worse rather than better.
