Never had a problem unless you use too long. When they start getting sticky, throw them away. Best earplugs we've used and we've been thru many!

I don't understand, is this a question? These ear plugs are awesome, my son had tubes placed months ago and we use these every night at bath time. We never had a problem.

is this a question? if so, yes, the stuff is sticky. not only is it difficult to remove, the stuff also stuck to the inside of my bathing cap, which is now streaked with red sticky stuff. it sure does plug up your ears, however..

I only use them for sleeping. I roll them up into a ball and place them in the outer area, covering the ear canal (not IN the canal), and then just start kind of spreading the silicone around, flattening it, until I can hardly hear anything, including the old cat yelling! I would think for swimming that you'd want a new pair every time, as the level of stickiness would be more important.

Dear Alisha. these earplugs are standard size, and would fit a large majority of people, plus it has a triple flange design like a Christmas tree to better fit the ear canal. These are also made from silicone which are soft and comfortable to attain better fit. But having said that, in any case that it does not fit well with you, you are backed by a full money back guarantee, because customer's satisfaction is our highest priority here at Living Stones Biz. We hope that helps.

I find them to be a bit of a pain to get into my ears, and once they are in, they begin to hurt after awhile. I assume that is because they are too big for my ear canal. I stopped using them and went back to another type of ear plug.

Robert, my experience with Flents Foam Ear Plugs is that they didn't block out "any" noise. I could still hear pretty much every noise, even the most quiet ones. Just my personal experience.

These are terrible for sleeping. They do not drown out snoring whatsoever, and the few times I managed to jam them in my ear and get a semi-decent seal, I woke up in the morning with my ears feeling like they needed to be popped, similar to what a change in air pressure does to your ears when travelling. It made all noise sound muted for at least a day, and was very uncomfortable.Highly recommend looking into Flents Quiet Please as an alternative. I'm a long term ear plug user when sleeping, and they're by far the most comfortable foam ear plugs I've tried.

I use them for walking and haven't yet had an issue with them falling out. The rubber ear plug comes in two different sizes (that are included in your purchase) and you pick the one that fits the inner part of your ear canal. In fact I have to give them a gentle tug to remove them. I hope this helps.

The instructions say, "Remove the ear tip from the end cap and stem. (illustration) The ear tip can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap. Do not swim with these ear plugs or expose the stems to any liquids."

I use mine about a week or a little longer, but I have zero problems with ear infections or much earwax. After I first insert them, I can feel & hear the foam expanding. When I notice that the foam isn't expanding as vigorously as it did at first, I know they're not going to block noise as well, and it's time to replace with a new pair. Oddly, to me, it seems like one plug in the pair usually fails first; I guess I'd have expected they would both go about the same time. I strongly agree with those who say don't wash them; that was an accident that did not go well.

Roberta, I would be very reluctant to use foam ear plugs. It can be difficult or sometimes impossible to get both inserted properly even when following manufacturers instructions. ( See the warning on the label of the ear plug box.) I suggest use only ear muffs unless impossible to do so. I hope this helps!

No, I haven't had any problems with the ones I have. I/my wife puts them on her I Pad strap and it hasn't ever broken. I have also used them in the pad ear plug with no problem. Hopes this helps?

Correct...they have a removable earwax guard that you can take out and soak in hydrogen peroxide. Make sure they are completely dry prior to putting them back in.

I didn't contact the manufacturer - I saw how poorly designed they are (primarily the heavy weights outside of the ears causing the ear buds to fall out of my ears despite trying the various cup sizes) & figured there wasn't any hope for them so returned them to Amazon.

I have the same problem. I've been using the 'small' 2-flange eartips ER6I-18C for over 5 years now. They 're GREAT. Just have to replace the filters every 3-6months if they get buildup on them (but they protect the actual speakers very well).

My ears get really sore with the ear support pieces. I have to remove them for continuous use.

Dry them out with a blow dryer if the sound won't return . Return them for a refund. You may want to check the ear plug size I use the largest size to keep water out

These are definitely not drugs and they aren't coated with any kind of drug that I'm aware of.Regular ear plugs form a seal in your ear so no air or water or anything can get inside. Flents like these have a tiny hole in the middle of the rubber plug that allows the air pressure to more slowly go in and out of your ears upon take off and landing.They aren't a 100% fix to stop all air pressure problems but they help to let a little bit so you can clear your own ears with a yawn or a swallow.However, I flew home with a cold recently and these didn't work. My left ear was plugged for 4 days but it was due to my cold and the tubes being swollen shut.It's not a miracle product but it works for me when I'm not sick.
