Mack's ThermaFit Soft Foam Ear Plugs 40 Pairs for Sleeping, Snoring, Work, Travel and Loud Events, Made in USA

These are my favourite ear plugs for sleeping. I have to cut a tiny bit off the end for side sleeping. They sometimes fall out but only when asleep. They are good at reducing noise and don't irritate my ears (I had repeat problems with some earplugs - the audiologist suspected I was allergic to the material in some foam plugs). I don't use them every night but useful for if there's building work outside or staying in a noisy hotel. I've bought more since discovering them.

Like others, I have been looking for a replacement after Boots discontinued their foam earplugs. I tried their other versions they still stocked, but they didn't fit properly and hurt my ears. I ordered these because I had seen others had commented saying these were better than Boots' version and after using them I have to say I agree. They are slightly smaller than the Boots version but it actually benefits them by being able to be put into the ear easier. They feel a little firmer to start with, but once they've been moulded with your fingers and put into the ear they soften up quickly, expand and feel so much more comfortable than the Boots one that I wish I had found this brand sooner. If you're like me and use them for sleep, I would highly recommend checking these out.

As many others have done, I used to use the brand Boots from foam earplugs all the time and are looking for an alternative as they have discontinued them. These aren't bad! They are little firmer foam than the boots ones. They're not shiny and sweaty, which is good. They block about the same kind of noise. So far, so good. Little expensive. UPDATE, I'm actually now really disappointed because like everywhere else macks have discontinued this type of ear plug, and we're left with the cone shape which are shiny and make your ear sweat, causing health conditions like eczema. Many of us. These are the only style of earplugs that we can wear, and they are now disappeared off the face of the earth. You've just lost a regular customer from the UK!!

Best earplugs for me

I have bn using these for years after boots chemist stopped theirs. I can't sleep without them .they feel hard but if yiu do this it helps.i wash with little bit of hand wash rince and dry on heater with bit of kitchen towel softens them up roll in your hand and insert keeps background noise out and yiu get great sleep . You can wash every few days I get over a week from 1 pair worth the money highly recomend

I've bought tubs of these in the past and we're always good quality and efficient blocking noise. But this last tub I've bought, the quality is awful. The plugs are a lot bigger and don't fit in your ears properly. They're also a different material, not soft at all and springy rather than soft and spongy. Really disappointed with them.

These are absolutely definitely not as good as Boots' similar looking foam ear plugs. They are pretty easy to roll into the recommended shape and they reduce sound, but they are hard and take ages to expand and the noise cancelling isn't as good. I use them to reduce the sound of loud music at the gym so they're OK for me, but I would not recommend them for anyone wanting peace and quiet.

Best earplugs I ever had and I tried many. Others would fall off or make my ears sore.

Sou sensível a ruídos e moro em uma avenida movimentada, esquina com uma rua íngreme barulhenta, por onde passam todos os tipos de veículos extremamente barulhentos. A cereja do bolo é a obra de um prédio bem ao lado de casa. Já tinha usado outro protetor parecido com este, da Flents, que não acho mais para comprar e outro da Mack's, o Dreamgirl. Este, ThermaFit, é o melhor que já usei até agora. Consigo dormir mesmo com as motos com escapamento aberto passando às dezenas, concretagens nas madrugadas e até tiroteios (!). Felizmente consigo ouvir o despertador do celular. Já me salvou também nos dias de bate estaca durante o dia na obra vizinha. Um pouco desconfortável nos primeiros usos por conta das bordas (reutilizo o mesmo par algumas vezes), mas geralmente basta retirar e inserir novamente. Ainda bem que inventaram esses protetores e que é possível comprá-los no Brasil. O preço poderia ser mais acessível.

Horrible in comparison to other Mack's earplug models. This product's title says that the earplugs are made of soft foam, however they are hard to shape into the correct form and when you get them into your ear cannal, they put a lot of pressure and actually hurt you. Would most definitely not recommend this product, especially if you have a rather sensitive ear cannal (like me, apparently).

Het is mij zeer goed bevallen , de dopjes , dempen veel, heel goed. Voor mij zijn dit de beste oordopjes die ik tot nu toe gebruikt heb . Het zijn wasbaar dopjes en erg zacht en zitten erg prettig . Ik gebruik ze voor diverse dingen zoals Motorrijden ....slapen .....en ze zijn niet zo duur ook !

They really work well and don’t give me ear aches. I have tried many different ones and keep coming back to these

To the one struggling to decide which ear plugs to get, I hope this helps. I spent hours, if not days, researching ear plugs on Amazon. I ended up with 8 different ones because, well, I’m indecisive. Many of these didn’t work for me due to my own weird ear anatomy but I wanted to give my experience with each and what I’d recommend given your situation. Everything is subjective, but I hope this helps someone else as the previous reviews helped me. I’ll put my quick summary first and the details after for those wanting more info. *The pink ear plug is an average run-of-the-mill ear plug for size comparison. To summarize: If you have shorter ear canals and more sensitive ears I would recommend Mack’s Thermafit, adult/kids silicone ear plugs, or Hearos Softstar foam. If you have average ear canals and want the most noise blocking I would get Howard Leight. If you prefer contoured earplugs and find them to be the most comfortable then get Flents Protech Contour. If you have very narrow (but not short) ear canals, then get Mack’s slim fit or Flents Protech Sleeping. White Hearos Softstar foam: These ear plugs are wider than most but shorter and the foam is very soft. They are comfortable and didn’t hurt my ears, even when laying on my side. The foam is so light and fluffy though it lets in more noise than other ear plugs. If comfort is most important to you, you’re a side sleeper, and you don’t need complete silence, these are for you. Tan Mack’s Thermafit: This was the last pack of ear plugs I ordered to try and I finally found the right ones for me. The foam expands more quickly and is a bit rougher texture than others but once you get it in your ear it is just as comfortable at the Hearos and blocks as much (if not more) noise as Howard Leights and silicone. If you have short ear canals, want something comfortable that blocks out the most noise, try Mack’s thermafit. Purple Mack’s Slim fit: I have somewhat smaller ear canals but these were too narrow for me. They didn’t block any sound and despite them being thin, they are still long. If you have very narrow ear canals that are an average length, these would be a good choice for you. Dark Green Howard Leight low pressure: Howard Leights are soft and I found that they blocked out the most sound out of all the ear plugs I tried. They are a bit long for my ears but I just have short ear canals. If you have average ear canals and want the most noise blocking ear plugs, I would recommend these. Light Green Flents Protech Contour: I like contour ear plugs because my ears are sensitive. These are pretty large ear plugs and not the best for those with small ears. They were the best price of all the earplugs I tried. If you have average-larger ear canals, are a side sleeper, or prefer contoured ear plugs, these are for you. Blue/White Flents Protech Sleeping: I thought these would be my Goldilocks ear plugs after I liked the regular Protech contour ones but found them to be too big. Well these were way too small. They fit in my ears easily but don’t block any noise, much like the slimfits. I can still hear the clock ticking, the traffic, my dog snoring everything. I’m so bummed! If you have tiny (and I mean tiny) ears and like the contoured foam, I would get these. Mack’s silicone ear plugs (orange kids and clear regular): As someone who generally hates having things deep in my ears, silicone ear plugs sounded like the way to go. I found the clear ones to be huge and I was having to cut them in half so I ended up getting the kids size. They are comfortable and are good for side sleeping. They also block out a lot of noise. My issue with these is that they tend to suction to your ear which is uncomfortable and you can hear your heart beating in your ears. I think it’s something you can get use to though. If you hate foam/regular ear plugs, have small or sensitive ears, and want to still block a lot of noise, I’d try these. Of all the ones I tried, I found Mack’s Theramfit to be the best all around. Happy sleeping!
