Amazon cannot seem to keep these in stock. These are my favorite. Only option by far.I've had to buy elsewhere a few times. Not saying where. Not sure how I'd live without these. Wear nightly for sleep.

Product worked great!

I know 3M has been in the news during the pandemic, and not for good reasons, and it appears some of the combat earplugs they made for the military are not working correctly (you can read about that here, obviously change the underscores to periods before using the link: www_militarytimes_com/news/your-military/2019/02/14/hundreds-of-vets-are-suing-over-these-defective-combat-earplugs/)Nothing to indicate this was done deliberately, and certainly 3M is not known for botching manufacturing generally, but I'm a huge supporter of all those in uniform, so this disturbs me--but bottom line these are simply the best deal-- also the best performing noise reduction plugs, 33dB NR, and made in America. A no brainer choice.They're both pliable and yet incredibly effective, allowing you to fit them perfectly and feel them expand gently to fill the ear canal--like tiny memory foam inserts--perfect whether using them in a work environment or just to be able to sleep. They come in individually wrapped packages in a large box very convenient--made of non-toxic, non-leaching polyurethane, no latex, and very unlikely to cause any allergic reactions.I wouldn't swim with these, but they're great if you want to take a shower and you're prone to getting water in your ears. Working in the yard, they not only reduce noise from the leaf blower, they keep dust and particulates out of your ear canal.Put some of that alcohol we've been using to disinfect against covid on your fingers before you roll/insert the ear plug, but I've used these for years and never had any type of infection or issue. Bonus benefit: in fact when you take them out they often act as a kind of gentle excess ear wax cleaning! Beautiful, these will change your life, no kidding.A note on sleep: I suggest using them frankly every night, not just on noisy nights, if you really want a deep sleep--even having the sound of your partner breathing and moving, a beautiful comforting sound of course, but can slightly disturb your sleep--or a pet that shares the bed moving around, we're not aware of it necessarily, but it does affect the quality of our sleep. Using the earplugs is like swaddling your ears with a blanket, it's a comfort and it's also giving your eardrums and brain circuitry that handles sound a healthful rest while deepening & lengthening your sleep.Lastly, these are great if you're commuting on noisy public transit, or walking along a noisy road because you can still hear any warning sounds in the environment, but it's like you're wrapped in protective padding. Enjoy the quiet, the improved sleep and the comfort. Stay safe, take care

They are perfectly fine but they seem small. My husband is a big guy and he really has to push them in his ears and I usually have to help him get them out of his ears

I have some real sensitivity to loud noises, especially what you hear when in an open floor plan type of restaurant, so I need earplugs. These are comfortable in the ear, muffle the noise, especially the sharp parts like dishes clanking together, etc. I also wear when working with tools like a compressor, hammer, drill, etc. Effective when flying too (and comfortable enough for a long flight). If I was using commercial equipment, I would likely need something a little stronger (or put over the ear protection on). These are also good for when you want to double up with earplugs and over the ear phones, like at a gun range or Indy Car race. I really like the individual packages they come in – I know they’re clear when I open them and makes it easy to keep a few pair in our vehicles and my wife’s purse.

Best pair of ear plugs I've ever owned.

The smaller size of these earplugs is better suited to a woman or a child. The quality and comfort of these earplugs are very good however compared to other earplugs that I've used, these earplugs feel small. I want a snug fit in my ear canals to feel confident that sound is being effectively blocked. These are loose in my ears and I feel that this makes them less effective than I would like. I would not recommend them for a man.

I sleep most nights in a semi-truck next to other noisy semi-trucks. I sleep with ear plugs every night. Have for years. Have tried all ear plugs. Most ear plugs will make your ears hurt if wearing for extended periods. These are incredibly soft while still blocking noise extremely well. When I first felt how soft these were I thought I had made a big mistake, that they would never block out noise like I need. I was oh so pleasantly surprised. These are amazing. I rarely write reviews, I only write this now because of the few bad reviews I see here. Don't believe it. Are these as big as those big clunky, coarse ear plugs pictured in other review? No. I think I have a normal size ear. I complained to a safety manager once because he bought ear plugs for narrow ear canals. Those were too narrow and did not block noise. These are fine. If you have ears you can fit your thumb in maybe look elsewhere. Noise blocking is slightly reduced from the denser foam 3m plugs similar to this. But it is actually a welcome trade off for comfort. For me it's the perfect ear plug at an amazing price.
