Peace&Quiet PQ Small Ear Plugs for Sleeping - 40 Earplugs for Sleep, Snoring, Small Ear Canals, Noise Cancelling, Sound Blocking, for Women and Men

These are my favorite small ear canal earplugs on the market. They fit perfectly, have good seal, and I can sleep soundly without tearing them out of my ears from uncomfortability during sleep. I use one pair a week, but past that, you will notice a distinct stickiness from earwax over time, so I wouldn't recommend going too far past that time frame. The case is cute and I use it for travel, but usually recycle them otherwise.

I have two cats that are both loud AF. One periodically howls in the night and is constantly jumping up and surprising the other cat, who spends the whole night periodically hissing a yowling at the one who was howling. It’s more than annoying. After a few sleepless nights (even with a loud fan and white noise machine blaring) I had to try something. I have small ears (5’1 F) and these fit comfortably. It took me a few tries to figure out how to properly place them, but once I did they didn’t create any excessive pressure or discomfort. The first couple of nights I’d take them off when I woke up in the night because I could feel them and it was causing a bit of soreness, but I think that was because I had them put in incorrectly. I don’t feel the soreness anymore unless I wedge them in too quickly and they’re not properly placed. They don’t block out all of the sounds. For example, I still hear the faint hum of my white noise machine. However, they block out enough that the random sounds (howling, hissing, yowling etc.) don’t wake you up when you’re sleeping. I can still hear it if I’m awake, but it’s like hearing it underwater. At 14.99 for a 2 month supply, it’s a little more expensive than I wanted to pay. These work so well I might just keep paying the extra and stick with them!

I'm a petite woman and I found regular ear plugs uncomfortable to use. These work great, and they block out almost all sound. I never hear my husband's alarm. I'd give them 5 stars, but they are more expensive than the standard ear plugs and every now and then one in the box will have a different density and not work as well. But overall, I'm quite satisfied with them.

Great size, very comfortable.

I’m sad to report this - but the quality has taken a nose dive. These used to be the BEST for small ear canals. I’ve ordered these 5x over the years - previously they came in a stylish round container with a lid and were blissfully soft, causing no discomfort. My ears are sensitive and small, these were the only plugs I’ve found that have been comfortable overnight without causing soreness, a true gem. My two recent orders? The packaging is now a much cheaper disposable box- and the quality of its contents has followed suit. The size and appearance of the plugs look the same, but they feel much stiffer and instantly feel uncomfortable in my ears. I’m not sure If they have added a different coating or the material has changed but I can no longer insert them fully into my canals without causing instant itch and discomfort, so have to slip them further out with affects the noise cancellation. I’m really disappointed. I’m a repeat customer - but not sure if I will continue to be. These have gone from a sold 5*, to a 3*. They are still the smallest in size I’ve found - but it’s apparent the company has cut some corners to profit and they are not what they used to be.

I am changing my review from an initial 2-star "Disappointed" review to a glowing 5-stars after my latest attempt at using these things. I had initially written how my ear canal is really very narrow, and that the disadvantage of these smaller plugs was that they would get squished in the process of inserting them, no matter how or which way I pulled my ears to try and straighten the canal. Last night, I decided to give it another go, since I have a tin full of the things anyway, and somehow the planets and the ear canal finally aligned perfectly, and the plug went right in all the way. Once the plug expanded to its full size, this time around the difference was monumental! My ear was completely sealed, and I could hear *nothing*! I still had to struggle to insert the plug in the other ear, but I finally managed, and then it was bliss! I have not experienced such a deep silence since I descended to the depths an a lava tuve years ago, and I did not hear a thing from the moment I finally got the plugs in right, until I took them out in the morning. For the first time in many months I was able to get a solid, full-night sleep without getting woken up by my wife's fierce snoring, and I woke up feeling fully rested and happy. So, to all of you writing that the plugs don't work, and don't suppress sound, I respectfully suggest that you're not inserting them properly, which is exactly what happened to me. Once they're in the right way, straight in and all the way inside, I assure you that the noise reduction is dramatic and astonishing. Granted, it is not necessarily easy, and for some people it may be more of a struggle than for other, but once the plugs are in the right way, they do work, and work VERY well! So please keep trying; you'll be happy you did. One last word of caution. When you get the proper alignment of the ear canal, it is possible for the plug to go in too deep. This could result in some pain deep inside. Make sure the plug goes in fully, so that when it expands no part of it protrudes from the earhole, but no deeper than that. And if it feels painful at the bottom, just gently pull it out a bit, until you feel the seal, but no pain. Good luck!

Only ear plugs I can wear. I guess I have tiny ear holes. I wear them when I travel with my husband because he snores so freakin loud! Doesn’t block noise but dampens it enough to sleep. They do make my ear holes hurt after a few days. Super easy to use. Last all night and don’t fall apart. I like little case that comes with it. I think it’s for one pair but I’ve squeezed in two and shut it fine. They’re bright yellow so you can see them in the dark if you need to. This is my third box. I guess I’m a fan. Haha.

Great!! The only earplugs that don't irritate my ear canals! Very good for small ear canals. No compression inside the ears!

Mi doctora me recomendó usar cualquier tipo de tapón para oídos que fuera maleable. Nunca pensé que serían cómodos y que en verdad hicieran una diferencia. Tengo oídos pequeños entonces buscar tapones que me quedaran sin molestar era esencial, sobre todo porque mi problema es el sueño terriblemente ligero que tengo. El grosor es de aprox 1cm en su área más ancha y para colocarlos se tiene que hacer un tipo churrito. Una vez dentro se acoplan muy bien en 2min. En la semana que llevo con ellos, solo se han salido porque me los quito medio dormida. No eliminan el 100% del sonido pero gracias a eso pude escuchar la alerta sísmica de hace un par de días. Han mejorado mi calidad de sueño en un 70% (creo que me falta acostumbrarme a tenerlos en el oído), así que los seguiré usando por un buen rato. Es un producto que de verdad recomiendo. Suavecito, buen precio y se nota que tienen buena calidad. Quizá tuve suerte porque es la primera compra “grande” de tapones (para uso a largo plazo) y salieron 10/10, pero puse mucha atención a los comentarios tanto de este como de otros productos

They arrived very early. The quality is really good, they Fit really well and they definitely cut out noise. Great little box for travelling. BUT there are 18 pairs not the 20 I paid for.

I love these! So nice for small ears

I rarely write reviews but I really love this product! I am a light sleeper and very sensitive to noise. I have been using ear plugs for a very long time. I have tried many of them, but they all made me uncomfortable because I have small ear canals. I tried PQ Small Ear Plugs. And ohhh YESSSS! I found my ear plugs!. They are very soft, comfortable and take the shape of your ear canal. I am quite satisfied with this product!

Nice product does the job pretty well
