Ear Plugs for Sleeping - Vegpoet Reusable Moldable Silicone Earplugs Noise Cancelling Reduction for Concerts, Swimming, Shooting, Snoring, Airplane, Musicians, Motorcycle, 12 Pack Deep Blue

I’ve been using these silicone ear plugs and they’ve worked surprisingly well for blocking out noise, especially for sleep! They mold easily to the shape of my ear and stay in place comfortably all night. Unlike foam plugs, they don’t go inside the ear canal, so there’s no pressure or irritation which is my favorite part about these. They’re reusable, easy to clean, and a great option for anyone wanting to block out noise!

TL;DR: Cheap, moldable earplugs.Some 2,600 global ratings, 1,500 US ratings, and 0 US reviews on the current store page for these at the time of writing. I don't know how that happens, but clearly this product is in need of an English review.These are moldable, silicone earplugs. In the product videos, you can see how you roll them up and press them into your ear and they conform to your ear's shape. If done correctly, this results in a waterproof seal that blocks all air and water from entering your ear. These are frequently used for swimming (to keep water out), sleeping (as they block a lot of sound without getting caught on your pillow or falling out of your ear), or in loud, noisy environments like airplanes, shooting ranges, or music concerts.These should work just like any other silicone earplug - which is to say, effectively. A jack-of-most trades with a strong reduction in volume. They come in a plastic hard case that carries the six pairs, along with a small drawstring bag to hold a pair you're actively using. The color is a light blue that will make it apparent you're to others that you're wearing earplugs to others without being obnoxious. You'll get many uses out of them before they need to be discarded.I mentioned they're a jack-of-most and where they're usually used, so I'll briefly compare them to other earplugs I purchased for perspective:The Mighty Plugs are the closest competing product to these. They work in much the same way, dampen sound perhaps a tiny bit more, and have a waxier, less sterile feel on the skin. Arguably superior, but considerably more expensive and similar lifespan.Decibullz are a more permanent type of earpiece. The molding process is more complex, and they have a more rigid feel. They do dampen sound a bit more, but the difference isn't tremendous. They aren't waterproof and are substantially more expensive.Surefire are intended for the shooting range. They have a flap that opens to allow more sound in, like for conversations, and closed. They don't block as much sound, and are less suitable for "the big ones" than these. They aren't moldable or waterproof, and are considerably more expensive.The Hearos are intended for concerts, and really shine in that environment. They do a much better job not muffling sounds, though they don't dampen as much noise. Not suitable for swimming or sleeping.Bet Slumbur are intended for sleeping. They don't mold to your ear and are more likely to fall out in your sleep, but they do allow for some breathability. They don't block as much sound and aren't suitable for swimming, though may be more suitable for airplanes.Fly Fit are intended for flying. They don't block much noise, but they're breathable and more suitable for takeoff and landing. Not suitable for swimming or especially loud environments where hearing protection is required.If you're looking for waterproof, non-breathable, strongly-dampened earplugs that are cheap enough you won't cry when you lose them, these are for you.

These earplugs are easy to use, great to fit in your bag or purse, and they provide good noise reduction. They are comfortable to sleep with as well.

Comfortable and noise blocking. Just warm it up by rolling it with your fingers for a few seconds, place it in your ear and gently press it around to fit. No need for it to go down in the ear canal, which for me is a good thing. I've never liked having anything pressing inside the ear canal for very long because it becomes increasingly painful, so with these, there's no need to worry about that. They work well for me and I would recommend.

The one thing that these earplugs do better than the common foam ones is that it can be pushed in to be flush with the ear, letting side-sleepers get a more comfortable rest. However, the strengths of the earplugs pretty much end there. Despite having the highest noise reduction rating possible of up to 32db, it seems to me that these don't work nearly as well compared to normal foam earplugs, even when I make sure to get a completely tight seal.Getting a tight seal with these earplugs is part of the problem. With the silicone, I can create a completely airtight seal, but if I'm pressing the earplugs into my ear, the air that's already inside my ear needs to go somewhere, and it can't go in, so sometimes it actually creates a bit of pain as I'm putting the earplugs in.The reusability of these earplugs may also be seen as a flaw, since even though the instructions say that they can be washed and reused around 10 times, the reduction in adhesiveness makes it much more likely for them to fall out or create a gap in the ear once you put them in, which drastically reduces their effectiveness. Furthermore, washing them doesn't seem to be too effective since any lint or earwax that gets stuck onto the silicone is practically impossible to remove, and running it under water definitely does not help. All in all, these earplugs do still have some advantages over foam earplugs, but if you need to use earplugs often, these may need to be replaced more often than you'd like compared to the foam alternative.

This plugs really work, I use them to sleep and they really cancel the noise, not uncomfortable, easy to put on, you can use them many times and still work!

These earplugs are Comfortable, effective, and easy to use.It Blocks out distracting noises, helping me sleep soundly.
