my son needs to keep water out of his ears and plugs don't seem to work. Would this work?

Not as much water gets in and the frequency of water getting in the ears is definitely less than not wearing the cap at all; however water still gets in the ears and I have to empty my ears ever so often. I don't think there's a full proof way of avoiding water in the ears once you're in the pool or any water for that matter. You may have to teach him to jump on one foot while leaning his head to one side (the side he leans on would be the side that the ears are filled with water) to get rid of the water in his ears after a swim.

Swim caps aren't generally used to keep water out of the ears. They are more of keeping your hair out of your face while your swimming. I would not recommend this as something to keep water out of your son's ears.

It will help, but you must use both plugs and cap..Use the wax plugs you can make fix into the ear.

what helped me was making sure to roll the ear plug as compact as possible in a cylindrical shape. Also, you need to make sure to lift the top of your ear lobe as shown in the instructions to ensure a bigger hole to insert the earplug.

That happened to me until I went on underwater'a website and read to rub Vaseline around the earbud, then insert in ear. It made a world of difference. If that doesn't work, you may need a larger size bud.

I don't see why not...but I worry he won't be able to get ENOUGH water? I would try it out for a couple of days and see how he adjusts to drinking water out of this.

I did have an issue and it was because I was pushing them in too far. Back off a little and see if it works better.Water does go into the ears but that is normal.Bob

Hmm I hope I can help, even though it's likely a completely different circumstance. I'm certainly not a toddler, but when I needed to use this to help with earwax removal, I'd lay flat on my side on the bed and have someone drip it into my ear. I'd then just distract myself for a few minutes with television or something. Hopefully, you can find something that will distract your child for a few minutes and stop him from moving.

The in ear design works perfectly for it. It is liked wearing ear-plugs. Another example is like, you are in the car with windows rolled up and the mowers noise becomes low sounding humps...you will love it. keep the plug clean with peroxide ($1 bottle) at Rx stores.

If you get it tight enough to stay on your head it doesn't hold the earplugs and it pulls them out. I would skip it if I were you.

Maybe consider taking the ear buds off completely. Then to keep them in place use the speedo silicone ear plugs. All I can think of.

My grandson does. The earplugs were for him. He's 12 years old, so things that bother adults don't seem to faze kids.

I think you would be better off getting some ear buds. These would probably not comfortably stay on a toddler head.

Probably not suitable for children under 5-6, as they might swallow the product. Besides, I can't imagine why and in what situation children should need to use earplugs to block noise!

They are adjustable and fit very small children, so I think you'll have no problem with the 3yr old. They have a regular plug for a walkman or a cd player so I would suggest you try other headphones or earbuds to fit, and if they do these will fit also. Good Luck.

I mainly use the band to keep my earbuds on, but I've used it with earplugs and they are even better. Answering your question, yes they did work for me while lap swimming, it gets a few times to find the perfect place though, but once you've got it you'll have no problem.If you are going to use earplugs I strongly advice using some silicone ones, as Christmas tree or other type of earplugs protruding from ears can cause pain over time (with the band on)

There is a hole on the bottom on each side that could be used for earplugs, and also the space at the top on each side as well. However, I just plug my earphones in the top of my phone and then close the top flap over the phone, leaving the earphone plug sticking out to one side, and it works very well while I'm walking or working.

Yes the earplugs will keep the water out of your ears if placed in ears correctly. The sound quality is great also!

They can be a challenge because the cord is so long. If you find a way to attach your mp3 player in a different place besides your goggles it helps or to find a good place to clip the cord to your suit. Otherwise the earbuds stay in pretty well; every once in awhile i'll hit one out with my arm. I was happy with them for the price, and they have held up nicely.
