iiisecondcreep Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I have really narrow ear canals and as such really struggle to get ear plugs as the simply won't fit in my lugs! I do actually have custom plugs but to be honest I prefer these, especially after getting my new lid which is quite tight around the ears and makes my custom plugs uncomfortable.They are £4.99 for a pack of three, one set lasts for ages and if they get dirty they can be washed in hot water. I don't know how long they will last as I have not yet used a pair until they are no longer effective.Before use you roll them into a ball with your hands and then just squish them over (not into!) your ear hole, they can be used to swimming so they form a complete seal. Good points: Suitable for people with awkward lug holes like myself.Value for money, £5 seems expensive for just 3 pairs but they are re-usable and can be washed.Provide at least as much protection as my custom plugs (can't comment on any other types of plugs as I can't use them!)Medium:Bit of a faff squishing them into place, and you don't always know if you have managed to get a good seal until you are on the move.They are sticky so hairs get stuck on them easily (which doesn't help with the getting a good seal!)They get dirty quite quickly due to them being sticky.Bad:none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattycoops43 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Good luck with the hairy ear problem. I think you can get a cream for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iiisecondcreep Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Well I meant the hair from my head sticking to them but I suppose if you have excessively hairy ears that might also be problematic, not having hairy ears its not something I'd have thought about....
