Title: Best all around ear plugs!
Review: To the one struggling to decide which ear plugs to get, I hope this helps. I spent hours, if not days, researching ear plugs on Amazon. I ended up with 8 different ones because, well, I’m indecisive. Many of these didn’t work for me due to my own weird ear anatomy but I wanted to give my experience with each and what I’d recommend given your situation. Everything is subjective, but I hope this helps someone else as the previous reviews helped me. I’ll put my quick summary first and the details after for those wanting more info. *The pink ear plug is an average run-of-the-mill ear plug for size comparison.To summarize:If you have shorter ear canals and more sensitive ears I would recommend Mack’s Thermafit, adult/kids silicone ear plugs, or Hearos Softstar foam. If you have average ear canals and want the most noise blocking I would get Howard Leight. If you prefer contoured earplugs and find them to be the most comfortable then get Flents Protech Contour. If you have very narrow (but not short) ear canals, then get Mack’s slim fit or Flents Protech Sleeping.White Hearos Softstar foam:These ear plugs are wider than most but shorter and the foam is very soft. They are comfortable and didn’t hurt my ears, even when laying on my side. The foam is so light and fluffy though it lets in more noise than other ear plugs. If comfort is most important to you, you’re a side sleeper, and you don’t need complete silence, these are for you.Tan Mack’s Thermafit:This was the last pack of ear plugs I ordered to try and I finally found the right ones for me. The foam expands more quickly and is a bit rougher texture than others but once you get it in your ear it is just as comfortable at the Hearos and blocks as much (if not more) noise as Howard Leights and silicone. If you have short ear canals, want something comfortable that blocks out the most noise, try Mack’s thermafit.Purple Mack’s Slim fit:I have somewhat smaller ear canals but these were too narrow for me. They didn’t block any sound and despite them being thin, they are still long. If you have very narrow ear canals that are an average length, these would be a good choice for you.Dark Green Howard Leight low pressure:Howard Leights are soft and I found that they blocked out the most sound out of all the ear plugs I tried. They are a bit long for my ears but I just have short ear canals. If you have average ear canals and want the most noise blocking ear plugs, I would recommend these.Light Green Flents Protech Contour:I like contour ear plugs because my ears are sensitive. These are pretty large ear plugs and not the best for those with small ears. They were the best price of all the earplugs I tried. If you have average-larger ear canals, are a side sleeper, or prefer contoured ear plugs, these are for you.Blue/White Flents Protech Sleeping:I thought these would be my Goldilocks ear plugs after I liked the regular Protech contour ones but found them to be too big. Well these were way too small. They fit in my ears easily but don’t block any noise, much like the slimfits. I can still hear the clock ticking, the traffic, my dog snoring everything. I’m so bummed! If you have tiny (and I mean tiny) ears and like the contoured foam, I would get these.Mack’s silicone ear plugs (orange kids and clear regular):As someone who generally hates having things deep in my ears, silicone ear plugs sounded like the way to go. I found the clear ones to be huge and I was having to cut them in half so I ended up getting the kids size. They are comfortable and are good for side sleeping. They also block out a lot of noise. My issue with these is that they tend to suction to your ear which is uncomfortable and you can hear your heart beating in your ears. I think it’s something you can get use to though. If you hate foam/regular ear plugs, have small or sensitive ears, and want to still block a lot of noise, I’d try these.Of all the ones I tried, I found Mack’s Theramfit to be the best all around.Happy sleeping!

Title: 11/10 and Very Shapeable
Review: These are really great quality and very breathable. I would highly recommend this brand and these earplugs. I don’t typically like using earplugs at all. I feel like they feel like they make your ears, sweaty and some way, but the fact that these are very adaptable and malleable to different shapes is great in addition to the fact that they are breathable, would highly recommend!

Title: Matt textured and cylindrical in shape
Review: I switched from another brand because they changed the product to something I couldn’t use. I love these earplugs because they are NOT slick, shiny and bullet shaped. These are matt textured and cylindrical, meaning that you can shape them to whatever you want and they stay in and block the noise so well.

Title: Consistently great but questioning quality on recent batch
Review: According to my purchase history, I’ve ordered these 11 times! Despite what the research says, earplugs like these WILL stretch your ear canal. I wish there were another option that didn’t need to go inside your ear, but I’ve searched endlessly for something else and have never found an alternative.I used to use Mack’s soft foam earplugs which are way smaller and had to keep switching as each type I used would eventually be too small to block out any noise. I discovered these Thermafit earplugs which expand to your ear’s shape and these are the only ones that are now big enough to fit my ears and block out the noise. I can stick my finger directly into my ear hole now and go straight back whereas I was never able to do that before. So I wanted to say that first! If you are a consistent earplug user, this may also happen to you. I also find that these strip the natural oily feeling from the surface of my ears and this dryness can sometimes be irritating.That being said, these have helped tremendously with sleep since I started using them and that makes these worth it for me. I’m an extremely light sleeper and any kind of noise will jolt me awake. With these in, I find that 90-95% of the noise is blocked out, e.g. dogs barking, people talking and walking around upstairs or downstairs, music, tv, garbage trucks, etc. There’s a small percentage of loud noise that will get in and that makes me comfortable if there’s ever an emergency. I did have a real fire in the old building I was in and the fire alarm went off with these in and I heard it just fine!You do need to briefly massage and roll the ends of these first for a few seconds to fit them comfortably in your ears. Directions for these types of earplugs also recommend pulling your ear back to open up your ear canal for easier insertion. My ear holes are unfortunately so large now that I can kind of just roll and stuff these in, so that works for me although I recommend doing it the right way. Once in, you will feel them expand to fit your ears. I don’t really have issues with the level of comfort but sometimes I do need to adjust one side if it hurts laying on it.There are quite a few of these in a jar and I stretch their use by using one side one night and the other side the next night and then I toss them. I usually get the large jar of 40 but with inflation I’m having a hard time prioritizing the cost of earplugs in my budget. I wish Mack’s would offer an in between count of 25 or so and not just a quantity of 10 or 40.I took a star off what would normally be a five-star rating because the last batch I received has a bunch of earplugs firmly stuck together and also stuck firmly to the bottom of the jar. While sometimes these will lightly stick together and need to be pulled apart, I’ve never had that issue pervasively with these before and it makes me question if they were old stock or if these have gone down in quality recently, as most products have.

Title: Must Have for a Good Night’s Sleep Around the World!
Review: I am absolutely a repeat customer for this product at this shop. I have very shallow ear canals and this is the shortest ear plug that I’ve been able to find. It is quite comfortable and does a pretty good job at blocking the sounds while I sleep. I am able to use one for several nights before it becomes too stiff (due to ear wax) and needs to be replaced. I travel the world most of the year and use this every night. I buy a box each time I get back to the US to add to my stash, which I carry in my carry-on along with my other critical medicine because I cannot afford to lose it in case my check-bag is lost. In other words, I consider it to be critical a health item. The fact that it doesn’t weigh anything in a zip-lock makes thing that much better!Buy some!

Review: Sou sensível a ruídos e moro em uma avenida movimentada, esquina com uma rua íngreme barulhenta, por onde passam todos os tipos de veículos extremamente barulhentos.A cereja do bolo é a obra de um prédio bem ao lado de casa.Já tinha usado outro protetor parecido com este, da Flents, que não acho mais para comprar e outro da Mack’s, o Dreamgirl.Este, ThermaFit, é o melhor que já usei até agora.Consigo dormir mesmo com as motos com escapamento aberto passando às dezenas, concretagens nas madrugadas e até tiroteios (!).Felizmente consigo ouvir o despertador do celular.Já me salvou também nos dias de bate estaca durante o dia na obra vizinha.Um pouco desconfortável nos primeiros usos por conta das bordas (reutilizo o mesmo par algumas vezes), mas geralmente basta retirar e inserir novamente.Ainda bem que inventaram esses protetores e que é possível comprá-los no Brasil.O preço poderia ser mais acessível.

Review: I’m a light sleeper and I started using these because of a bed mate that snored. It made it so much easier to fall and stay asleep. I even wear them when I’m sleeping on my own. It helps me create a deep sleep and a cocoon-like tranquility. I find them to be the most comfortable out of all the others I have tried. When you first touch them, at first you might be a bit shocked because they are stiff to the touch, but somehow they don’t cause me any pain or discomfort.
