HOW TO USE PUTTY BUDDIES silicone ear plugs:
DO NOT INSERT INTO EAR CANAL.
Plugs should be applied by an adult, never a child. Flatten plugs with fingers & shape to cover outer ear until snugly fit. DO NOT tear plugs at any time. Use entire plug for each ear. DO NOT FORCE INTO EAR CANAL.
Remove plugs by pressing up under the backside of the ear and pulling down on the ear lobe. Alternating these techniques several times will release the plug over the ear canal for easy removal. Plugs may be used for up to 2 weeks with proper handling. Discard & do not use if plugs become dirty, lose their tackiness, or begin to crack/crumble.
Apply, use, and remove with adult supervision. Ear plugs are for use ONLY in water. If the user is out of the water for more than 5 minutes, please remove ear plugs, store and reapply (or use new pair) when re-entering the water.
NOT recommended for use with swim caps.
NOT recommended for noise prevention or sleeping.

Best putty ear plugs around and the only ones that will work for my son, who is very prone to ear pain from water. Even custom plugs will not work for him. These work well with the corresponding head band that you can purchase separately, but even without the headband the provide a good seal and stay in. For us, these are a must have for pool season. If they do fall out for any reason, they float up and can be easily found. I also love that each comes in a little reusable container that helps too keep them nice. I only wish these were a little more affordable l, since we go through a ton of them each season.

Got these for my almost 2 year old to help keep water out during bath time because he has tubes in his ears. They work amazingly! And they don’t bother him at all, and so he leaves them alone and they stay in place all bath time. His ears are so small so I tear one in half and use one half for each ear. So now my supply also goes a lot further because of that as well. They’re pretty easy to put in place and come out easily by pushing on the back of the ear. Love this product and only disappointed I didn’t find it sooner lol.

My kids both had tubes in their ears so we had to use ear plugs around the water. We live in Florida so we were are in the water constantly. These are some of the best sticking ear plugs we have found. Each set is good for 2-3 trips to the pool before they lose their stickiness and start to pop out from time to time. The bright colors make them easy to see so you know they are where they should be or makes them easy to find should one pop out. We spent a small fortune on ear plugs and always come back to these.

At first we loved these plugs for my daughter with tubes. But as we spent more and more time in the pool I noticed my daughter’s hair was sticking to her ears. Upon further examination the plugs were getting soft and sticky. I had to comb the left over plug out of hair.We still love them for a shower but not for long term wear.

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.

after trying so many brands putty buddies have been the best. The only downfalls is the putty sometimes get stuck in somes hair. But it does come out easily.Bye bye ear infections every time we go in a pool!

My daughter (9 years) uses these plugs every day. We have tried so many different kinds but none of them seemed to completely keep the water out and that is very important since she has ear tubes. These stay put weather she's in the bath, shower, pool or even the water park. I highly recommend these ear plugs!

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!

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