Putty BuddiesOriginal Swimming Earplugs 3-Pair Pack (Purple/Teal/Magenta)

Oh, the trials of summertime and swimmers ear infections! Following my daughter's third bout this season, the doctor suggested the introduction of earplugs for her pool excursions. Initially met with reluctance, our salvation came in the form of these colorful earplugs.Pros:- Vibrant Colors: The eye-catching and fun colors immediately appealed to my daughter, making the whole process more enjoyable.- Fade-Resistant: Thankfully, the vibrant colors don't fade under the harsh effects of sun and chlorine.- Ease of Use: The warming of the wax became a delightful ritual for my 9-year-old, and she could confidently insert them herself after just a couple of attempts.- Comfort: According to my daughter, the earplugs are remarkably comfortable. Despite a slight hearing impediment while wearing them, she hardly notices they're in.- Durability: These earplugs stay securely in place and are reusable, adding to their practicality.- Convenient Case: The inclusion of a handy case ensures easy transportation, minimizing the risk of misplacement.Cons:- Sticky Putty: The putty's stickiness, while excellent for keeping the earplugs in place, makes removal a tad tricky and might leave a residue on the ear. Easily remedied with lotion or oil post-bath.- Pricey - Its on the pricier side due to it having to be replaced after several usage but worth the money to keep kiddo from getting ear infections.In conclusion, these earplugs are a practical addition to any household, offering versatile use and affordability. The nitpicky sticky residue is a minor inconvenience compared to their overall utility. My kiddo no longer has issue with swimmer ear so product definitely worth the money. Hope this review helped!

These are perfect for kids with ear problems and tubes. My daughter has had tubes put in her ears twice now and she has a lot of problems she cant get water in her ears and no matter what we do it always seems to happen and I have to end up going to the doctor or hospital because she is screaming that her ears hurt so bad. That was until I found these they work so well and let no water enter her ear that she could actually enjoy her bath instead of stress that her ears were going to get wet and then hurt. These are really easy to put in I just pinched off a little bit and used the remainder and smoothed it over the inside of her ear. She could even laydown in the bath so I could wash her hair and still no water got in they never fell out and they stayed secure. When bath time was over all you have to do it pinch the ear together a little and it will fold over enough to pull it out. There was no leftover residue it didn't stick to her hair and I can use them again. these are worth every penny I paid and have made my daughter so much happier now she is excited to take baths again!!

I bought these for my 7 y.o after she had a major ear infection from the water! They got the job done! I recommend using one and splitting it in half for smaller kids instead of the whole piece in each ear. They kept falling out of her ear cause they were too big but worked better when I split one in half for two ears! Hope this helps.

I got this for showering plus sleeping without any noise at night. It came with one round plastic case with 3 sets of ear plugs, teal, hot pink, and ultramarine. They are malleable, so you can easily form them into a little balls so they fit into your ears.As the direction says, do not put it into your ear canal; they are just supposed to block the inner rims. It took a couple tries to fit them perfectly. Once you get it right, you can feel them snugly fit, and it really isn't that hard to get them in the right position. I took a shower in them - the water doesn't come through. It also blocks a lot of noise - you can't block the noise out completely, I don't think, but it is a lot better than the sponge ones you get from other places. And unless you get them dirty really quickly, like drop them into your waste basket or something, they look like they will last me a long while.They come off pretty easily as well. The direction tells you to push the back of your ear. Again, it took me a couple tries to get them out, but once you get used to the method, it is easier to do so than just trying to pull them out.Overall, it is fun plugs to play with, and they work very well. And if you feel icky about confusing and switching which side you put on the plugs last time, you can use different colors to color-code them. (ex: teal one for your right ear, pink for your left, etc.) It is a great buy if you don't like water coming into your ears when swimming, showering, etc, as well as blocking out noises when you need to focus.

I was really excited for these. First time I tried them was at the beach. I figured because the box was in the sun it was making the silicon material more malleable. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Even the 2 next times at the pool without being in the sun had the same consistency.This is a problem because when u take it out, if any part is too thin it just tears off or stays on your ear. When I attempted to reuse the last pair it was just not doing as well as the first time.First go round I got 0 water in my ears. I was also only in the water for maybe 30 mins. 2nd time at the pool I got a little bit of water in my ear as I continued put my head in and out of the water. 3rd time I put a swim cap over my ears with the ear plugs as a backup (swam for 70 min) and no issues. 4th time (with reusing the same pair as my 3rd try) it was just all sorts of a mess. I got water in my ears early into my 800m swimIf you are looking to travel and aren't doing any sort of competitive swimming, these may be good as u aren't going to cry over these if you lose them. For more serious swimming I'm going to find something that plastic or regular earplugs.

My daughter has had issues with her ears for years and it was making going to the pool, which is normally her favorite activity, miserable. I was able to easily put this in her ear, it stayed in for the most part, and kept water out of her ears
