They work great! help save your hearing, use ear protection. Squash em down and stick em in. EASY and comfortable.

I need ear plugs to sleep. I don't need total silence, but I like ear plugs that make everything "muffled" and quiet. I've tried countless earplugs but so many leave my ears feeling incredibly sore after just a couple hours, making it very difficult to sleep. After much research, I took a chance on these earplugs and I've finally found the ones that work perfectly for me throughout the entire night. I can sleep with these earplugs for many hours with no soreness in my ears. Please note these ear plugs do not block ALL noise. I can still hear noise through the plugs and if someone is talking loud enough, I can understand them. Otherwise they do a great job of reducing noise overall and help me fall asleep. On a final note, I love that these come in individual plastic wrappers. It helps keep them clean but also prevents early deterioration of the plugs themselves. I can use one set of plugs for about a week before I replace them with a new pair. If you've suffered with sore ears from other plugs, I recommend giving these ones a try!

Work perfect!

This is an honest non paid for non free item given review. My husband snores. He used to bring ear plugs similar to these home from work, but just retired. So now I get these from Amazon. They work fine. No ear plug will block out all noise. It at least muffles the sharp loud snores. Does a good enough job. 4 Stars!

Two hundred pairs of individually packaged earplugs. Not the most environmentally friendly purchase but I have used these nearly every night for 18 years to sleep as well as to block out noise while studying or working. The individual packaging makes it convenient to pop these in a purse or pocket so I have a pair available at all times. I've used other pairs that were in small paper packages that inevitably opened leaving the ear plugs dirty and squished. These plastic sleeves open only rarely and only after many months of riding around in my purse or backpack. They are on the thicker side as far as earplugs go, but that means that they block the ambient noises much better than the smaller smoother T shaped earplugs. Do they block out the noise 100%? No. But if I'm quietly taking a test then it will block out all the breathing and muttering around me. If I'm working and there are people chatting around me, it dulls the voices to about 20-30% which does allow me to generally hear if people speak directly to me (though they typically have to jostle me to get my attention first). There is a softer finished end and a slightly more leathery finished end with cushioning in the middle. When I use these earplugs I roll the softer end into a point and put it directly in my ear canal. The foam expands and blocks the noises. I have friends who place these earplugs perpendicular to their ear canal and complain that they don't block the noise fully. Don't be afraid to put these in your ear canal - they won't be able to go in far enough to hit your eardrum/cause damage.

I’ve been using these since I was a kid and they are great. I saw another poster mention they thought 3m had changed the foam, but that hasn’t been my experience. These are just like the very first ones I used 20 years ago. These are the only ear plugs I can wear for 12+ hours with no discomfort. They’re technically single use, but I get a few uses out of the ones I wear around the house. In my experience, they get dirty before the foam stops working. I used them for many years in a loud work setting and yearly hearing tests proved they work for hearing protection. I prefer the individually wrapped ear plugs because they last a long time in storage. And a box lasts me a long time. I found some in a flight bag from 15 years ago and they were just like new. The same 3m ear plugs that come loose in the envelope or loose in the box can kind of dry out over time and they don’t squish as easily. The texture definitely changes when they’ve been exposed to air for a long time. I think those are better for work environments where the boxes are being replaced quickly. Definitely not for the average at-home user.

Just like the old version of Flents, which are terrible now. These are great. They are breathable so your ears don't get sore from moisture, buildup or pressure. Very comfortable. Highly recommend.

I put an earplug on the sharp end of my quilt basting pins so I don't get stabbed while machine quilting on my domestic sewing machine. I prefer using the straight pins with earplugs to the safety pins I used to use for basting; the straight pins are easier to insert while basting and easier to remove while quilting; the pins stay in place until I remove the earplugs. This system is easier on my hands than using safety pins for basting.

Guys you really buy this product.

Cumplen muy bien su función

Legit the best earplugs I've ever used for sleep. I'm a very light sleeper and I've used all kinds of different ear plugs. These work the best for me. I don't have any sort of achy feeling in my ear after taking them out in the morning. My ears also don't get as greasy on the inside with these ones compared with other ones that I've used, IYKYK. In terms of the price, this is the best value I can find anywhere. Love that they are individually packaged which makes them easy to pack for travel. Super happy with this purchase and will be purchasing again.

Good product, quick delivery.

Uso éste producto para dormir ya que en mi casa hay mucho ruido, regrese a la marca 3M después de probar otros ya que me parecen más cómodos que otros modelos y marcas, éste modelo en particular como viene en bolsitas de celofán individuales conserva mejor el producto de la humedad, por lo que siempre estarán suaves, además son fáciles de transportar.
