Mack's Kids Size Soft Moldable Silicone Ear Plugs, 6 Pairs

My little guy has swimmers ear but also has swim school in a few days. Since I can't change is dates I grabbed these keep the water out of his ears. They are waterproof! We tested them in the bathtub first and they worked perfectly. They can also be used for sound blocking but the waterproof ones are a little more expensive. A little on the sticky side but they mold to the oiter ear. Not inner.kids won't mind them as Mich being on the outside. My son has a buzz cut so I dont have to worry about hair getting stuck to them. If you have a little girl put her hair up in a right bun with lots of product to keep it away from her ears. Kids size is for 6 and under. Adult ones do not fit correctly and can get stuck in their ears.

I'll rate these five stars because they did the job I needed them too. They were hard to put in a small child's ear. You had to push them and she complained it hurt getting them to fit. They kept sticking to her fingers at first and would come out when she tried to push them in. After a few tries we were able to get them to stay and they did keep all water out. I didn't realize when I purchased them they were like putty. My daughter did think they were cool and enjoyed the putty type feel. She wanted to keep them to play with more than to use for her ears.

Doesn’t work get something else

Utterly useless. Following the directs it says to only shape to the outside of the ear. Lovely. Popped right off. All of them. A waste of money on defective garbage. Good to know that your unchanged recipe is in effective.

Great for light sleepers!

I initially bought these in USA because Im a very light sleeper, and had a construction site just beside my house at the time, so these made me sleep perfectly til next day and go to work fresh and not mad lol. Chose these ones again because they are very comfortable, doesnt make my ear itchy, doesnt come out when Im sleeping and its perfect for me to block the noises from my roommates that love to party on weekends. Super soft and stays put. The only thing is that you have to keep them in a case or somewhere clean if you want to reuse them, because they are a bit sticky and tend to stick all the surrounding dust etc. Also chose kids size bc I just think that at least for me, they fit my ears better. If I use the adult ones, I wake up when turning on my ear against ... MoreI initially bought these in USA because Im a very light sleeper, and had a construction site just beside my house at the time, so these made me sleep perfectly til next day and go to work fresh and not mad lol.

Great product you kid won't mind wearing!

Worked great for my 3 yr old. We also bought the Mack swimmer head band. You have to roll putty in clean hands to warm up and then fallen, place in the ear and just work putty to just cover the ear opening. It's pretty easy, then we put the headband on so they stay in while they swim. It has yet to fall out and even after we take headband off it has not fell out. Def. Recommend the headband with this purchase, they work great together! My kid doesn't mind it at all, takes about 2 mins to put on. She got about 5 uses out of a pair before the tackiness left which helps it stick in the ear.

Greatest sound barrier there is out there!!

These are the best for adult use! I use one, split in half and use at night one half each ear. Keep in closed container when not in use and reuse same halves for a week. Great sound blocking! Have used for years! Awesome price! Only negative is you have to buy in store, they will not ship-hence the 4 stars! I buy everything online! So I have to get someone to buy for me and then get from them!

How they work.

I ordered the Kids Size because I have small ears. The plugs seem to be the correct size and they do work just not for a long period of time. During my workout eventually one side or the other doesn't protect completely. Keeping the area dry and hair free helps when putting them in but I have not successfully used them for my entire workout without one of them loosing its seal. Once there is moisture between the plugs in the ear area the seal breaks. They don't float out but you can tell the seal is broken and you want to adjust them constantly. They are easy to put in and keep track of because of bright color. I purchased another brand of molded ear plugs and they do a better job and last throughout the workout. I will say Mack's earplugs are more comfortable from ... MoreI ordered the Kids Size because I have small ears.

I will say Mack's earplugs are more comfortable from beginning to end. The reusable ear plugs are harder making it more painful to put in but they do last throughout the workout. I'm thinking of trying the larger size in the Mack's brand just to be certain that's not the issue.

I use them as an adult. These are my favorite.

I am an adult and I wear them. I like that you can just stick it in your ear. I have small ears. It's like they are custom. My first pack lasted a long time. They are so good I was able to sleep through construction with men hanging from a scaffolding drilling right on the wall to my apt under my window. live in the city and they make it silent when there is a construction event.

Most comfortable ear plugs around, a bit fiddly to seat right, can't be beat for comfort

I've been using earplugs for the last year, and these moldable silicone ones are the only plugs that don't cause outward pressure on the inside of your ears, which (over time) can cause pain, itchiness, inflammation, and ear infections. These don't do that! I have relatively small ear canals, so I break these in half, and "6 pair" actually get me "12 pair". The price on these is good as well. They don't block out the most sound, and they can be fiddly to seat properly, and remove. I do put them into the canal, even though it says not to. Follow the instructions on the back for removing them, by rolling the back of your ear upward in a circular motion, until they work themselves out on their own. The tradeoffs are well worth it for me. Highly recommended.

No ear infections

Worked as advertised. Our daughter has tubes in her ears and we were planning a snorkeling trip to the Florida Keys. These helped keep her ears high and dry, when they stayed in. These are not foam inserts, but rather a puddy type cap for the ear canal. You pull out one disk and smash onto the ear, right above the ear canal, shaping it to fit your ear. Then repeat for the other side. The disks are slightly tacky, think 3M Post It Note, but I wish they were more aggressive in this. They will fall out if your child is active in the water, diving, splashing, ect, or if you handle them to much. Once wet, they do not want to stay in. Also do not get suntan lotion on them or near the ear canal. I shaped a small bump to insert in the ear canal, even though it is not ... MoreWorked as advertised.

We also bought the head band which helped greatly. For bath time we just use foamies, but with her head submerged, we wanted the canal to be blocked, and these worked great for that.
