Earvolution Original Putty Buddies Swim Earplugs, Moldable, 3 Pair Pack

Tried several putty-style earplugs before this one after our kid kept getting ear infections from swim lessons, wanted something that actually sealed properly instead of the moldable putty that never quite held shape long enough. Sealing is where these beat everything else we tried, molds easily to the shape of the ear canal and actually stays sealed through a full swim session rather than loosening halfway through. Fit works well for kids specifically, small enough to shape into little ears without needing to stretch or force too much putty in. Suitable for swimming is the whole point and they deliver, no water getting through even with your head fully submerged doing laps or diving for toys at the bottom of the pool. Comfort has been good too, no complaints of pressure or irritation after wearing them a full hour or more in the water. Stickiness is manageable, tacky enough to hold its shape and stay put but doesn't leave residue stuck in the ear or hair afterward. Appearance is simple, comes in a couple color options so it's easy to tell whose pair is whose between siblings. After trying several other brands that didn't seal reliably, these are the first ones that actually worked as advertised for swimming.

I purchased these for my daughter who has ear tubes and they work great! They are easy to get in even with a squirmy 3 year old. She doesn't seem to mind them/I think they are comfortable because she has never tried to touch them or take them out. Her ears seem to be very dry post use so I'm confident in how they work. We are able to use each set several times before they start losing their stick. We went through one pack on a week long vacation (with constant swimming and in/out). The sand at the beach did stick to these otherwise we could have made them last longer. I am an audiologist so I'm picky with earplugs and I'm comparing these to custom earplugs (which I make and sell to my patients and have made for my daughter as well). This is a better option than custom earplugs for kids because they grow out of the custom ones way too quickly. I recommend these to my patients frequently!

Nice and works fairly well, just wish they gave a little,case for each color. They are not uncomfortable but sort of hard to get in my ear so no water gets in. The colors are pretty and I would use them again

It helps a lot and I love it! My daughter uses it every time she washes her hair.

Great product & easy for my 6 year old to use.

These malleable and mulled well and give good seal, however, they break apart easier than ones I’ve used in the past. Leaving little bits of the ear plug behind.

The Earvolution Original Putty Buddies Ear Plugs have completely transformed my swimming experience and provided the first truly effective water protection I've found after years of struggling with ear infections and discomfort! As an avid swimmer who has tried countless ear plug designs without success, these moldable silicone plugs deliver exactly the custom fit and reliable water seal needed for confident swimming without post-activity ear problems. The moldable premium silicone creates perfect custom fit for individual ear shapes that traditional rigid plugs simply cannot achieve. The putty-like consistency allows shaping to exact ear contours, creating comprehensive seals that accommodate unique anatomy while remaining comfortable during extended swimming sessions without pressure points or shifting. What impressed me most is the physician-developed design that reflects genuine understanding of ear anatomy and swimming-related ear health challenges. The medical expertise behind this product shows in thoughtful engineering that prioritizes both effectiveness and ear safety rather than generic approaches that ignore physiological requirements for proper ear protection. The water seal performance is absolutely outstanding, providing complete protection during intensive swimming including underwater activities, diving, and extended pool time without water penetration that has plagued other ear plug attempts. The reliable barrier eliminates post-swimming ear drainage and infection concerns that previously limited my swimming enjoyment. The comfort during extended wear is remarkable for ear protection, maintaining soft, non-irritating contact that doesn't create pressure buildup or discomfort that makes wearing ear plugs intolerable during longer swimming sessions. I can swim for hours without the painful pressure or awkward sensations that other plugs create. the durability through repeated swimming sessions and proper cleaning maintains moldability and sealing effectiveness without degradation or hardening that reduces performance over time. The quality silicone retains its flexible properties through extensive use while being easily cleaned and reshaped for optimal fit maintenance. The ease of insertion and removal eliminates the struggle and discomfort associated with rigid ear plugs that require forcing into ear canals or create removal difficulties. The moldable design allows gentle, comfortable insertion while being simple to remove without pain or excessive manipulation. The versatility extends beyond swimming to shower protection, water sports, and any situation where ear water protection becomes necessary for health or comfort reasons. The adaptable design works effectively across various water exposure scenarios while maintaining consistent protective performance. The prevention of swimmer's ear and related infections has been life-changing for someone previously plagued by recurring ear problems following swimming activities. The reliable water exclusion eliminates the cycle of infection, treatment, and swimming restrictions that previously made pool activities problematic rather than enjoyable. The value for ear health protection is substantial compared to medical treatment costs for ear infections or the limitation of swimming activities due to ear concerns. The investment in proper ear protection pays dividends in maintained ear health and unrestricted swimming enjoyment. The physician endorsement provides confidence about ear safety and proper design considerations that matter when inserting foreign objects into sensitive ear canals. The medical credibility supports trust in both effectiveness and safety for regular swimming use. For swimmers, water sports enthusiasts, or anyone needing reliable ear water protection while maintaining comfort and effectiveness, these moldable ear plugs deliver exactly the custom fit and medical-grade performance needed for confident water activities without ear health concerns.

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!

Molto utili, giusta misura

My daughter loves these. They are so much better than traditional ear plugs. She suffers from ear infections but loves swimming. These work so well to prevent water from getting in her ears, are comfortable and fit well. The only tricky thing is removing the putty without it attaching to her hair but found if you push gently from behind the ear they pop out more easily. Great little pot for taking them to and from swimming. Multiple use too so good value. Will definitely use these again.

Beim erster Anwendung in Ordnung, somit etwas teurer wenn jedes Mal ausgewechselt wird.

Sehr gut ich empfehle

These mold exactly to the child's ear and keeps water out during swimming. They cause no discomfort either and stay in the ear the whole time. Easy to remove and refashion if required. Comes with a handy case to keep dry when not in use.
