Putty BuddiesFloating Earplugs for Swimming & Bathing (Invented by Physician) Keep Water Out (10-Pair) Assorted

Great colour choices, hand to have in swim bag, easy to work with.

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.

Great putty which is easy to manipulate and covers the ears completely. Would highly recommend, particularly the unicorn version which went down very well with my granddaughter!

I used to use these when my twins were younger after they had their ear plugs surgery. They worked perfectly and we never had any issues with them. I decided to try the Mack's brand because they cost so much less. Bad decision. Those kept falling out all the time and were just more of a hassle and nuisance than anything else. I went back to Putty Buddies, and I'm so glad we did. We've had zero issues. You definitely get what you pay for!

They go sticky after a few uses probably due to chlorine?
