Earvolution Floating Putty Buddies Swim Earplugs - Made in USA, Doctor-Invented Moldable Premium Silicone Plugs Help Prevent Swimmer's Ear, 10 Pair Pack - Tan

These work great. Just make sure the ear is clean and DRY before putting them on. Don't shove them too far in. Don't fiddle with them once in. Dampens sound considerably fyi.

Both of my sons had ear tube surgery, so keeping water out of their ears is a top priority — especially now that they’re in summer camp and swimming every day. These Putty Buddies ear plugs have been a lifesaver. They’re super soft, moldable, and stay put even during rough pool play. I love that they float, so we’re not constantly losing them. And the fact that each pair comes in its own little case? Total game-changer for camp — easy to toss in their backpack and keeps everything clean and organized. We’ve tried other brands, but nothing seals as well or is as comfortable for them. Highly recommend for any parent managing ear tubes and active kids.

I anticipate using these for many years to come! My child had ear surgery and has to have their ear protected against water for several months. We started using them post-surgery, but my kid likes how they keep water from bothering their ears in general. Other brands' pluggies were uncomfortable, being stiffer and less malleable. The Putty Buddies are perfectly soft and comfortable. Each single plug lasts us about 2 weeks'-worth of baths/pool/water play before it gets too sticky/falls apart. They fit perfectly into the outer ear and really seal the water out. They seem to give a decent amount of sound reduction because my kid doesn't like to hear me when two pluggies are in. We like to use them with an Ear Band-it, just to make sure they stay secure, but they stay pretty well on their own too. The would be pretty discreet if they were a different color, but my kiddo wanted hot pink, so they're loud and proud. They do look really nice though.

These are our favorite ear plugs for littles with tubes. They actually stay in and are easy to shape to fit even the smallest kids. Just wish you could use them for more than a handful of times.

Got these for my almost 2 year old to help keep water out during bath time because he has tubes in his ears. They work amazingly! And they don’t bother him at all, and so he leaves them alone and they stay in place all bath time. His ears are so small so I tear one in half and use one half for each ear. So now my supply also goes a lot further because of that as well. They’re pretty easy to put in place and come out easily by pushing on the back of the ear. Love this product and only disappointed I didn’t find it sooner lol.

These work just as advertised. I have used them for years. Iv’e never been disappointed. I highly recommend this product.

My kids both had tubes in their ears so we had to use ear plugs around the water. We live in Florida so we were are in the water constantly. These are some of the best sticking ear plugs we have found. Each set is good for 2-3 trips to the pool before they lose their stickiness and start to pop out from time to time. The bright colors make them easy to see so you know they are where they should be or makes them easy to find should one pop out. We spent a small fortune on ear plugs and always come back to these.

My youngest son was born without eardrums, and it has been a struggle his entire life to keep water out of his ears. Because without the protection of the eardrums, he gets horrible ear infections whenever the slightest amount gets in there. After years of battling, his new ENT recommended we try the EAR-BAND-IT. It was heaven sent!!! With it came our first pair of PUTTY BUDDIES. At first, we were like, great another set of silicone ear plugs. Then after using them, we came to realize that they are NOT like all of the others. PUTTY BUDDIES are lighter and more malleable. They spread a lot easier than Mac's or any of the other brands on the market (and believe me, we have tried them all!) and provide better protection as well. Not only that, but they float too! Which is actually a feature that we have not had to use yet, because not only does he wear his EAR-BAND-IT, but PUTTY BUDDIES are a little more tacky than other brands, so they stay put very well. One of MY favorite features, as the mom that has to keep up with them, is the little case that comes with them. It makes my life so much easier. My son is now 8 years old, so we have been using PUTTY BUDDIES and the EAR-BAND-IT for over four years. We will use the other brands in a pinch, but we always go back to PUTTY BUDDIES. He recently had one ear drum successfully grafted, so we only use them for his left ear right now, but it didn't stop me from ordering another 10 pack recently. Honestly, I cannot recommend these earplugs enough, and when used (properly) in conjunction with the EAR-BAND-IT, PUTTY BUDDIES will keep your ears water tight. I am so glad that our ENT recommended these to us so many years ago, because without them, water play would be a whole lot more frustrating. My son dives and swims just like every other kiddo, and as long as he has his "ear stuff," we don't worry about any infections. Side note: We always try to get the 10 pack, because it comes with 10 cases as well, while the 3 pack only comes with one case for 6 plugs.
