Ear Plugs for Sleeping - Vegpoet Reusable Moldable Silicone Earplugs Noise Cancelling Reduction for Concerts, Swimming, Shooting, Snoring, Airplane, Musicians, Motorcycle, 12 Pack Deep Blue

TL;DR: Cheap, moldable earplugs.Some 2,600 global ratings, 1,500 US ratings, and 0 US reviews on the current store page for these at the time of writing. I don't know how that happens, but clearly this product is in need of an English review.These are moldable, silicone earplugs. In the product videos, you can see how you roll them up and press them into your ear and they conform to your ear's shape. If done correctly, this results in a waterproof seal that blocks all air and water from entering your ear. These are frequently used for swimming (to keep water out), sleeping (as they block a lot of sound without getting caught on your pillow or falling out of your ear), or in loud, noisy environments like airplanes, shooting ranges, or music concerts.These should work just like any other silicone earplug - which is to say, effectively. A jack-of-most trades with a strong reduction in volume. They come in a plastic hard case that carries the six pairs, along with a small drawstring bag to hold a pair you're actively using. The color is a light blue that will make it apparent you're to others that you're wearing earplugs to others without being obnoxious. You'll get many uses out of them before they need to be discarded.I mentioned they're a jack-of-most and where they're usually used, so I'll briefly compare them to other earplugs I purchased for perspective:The Mighty Plugs are the closest competing product to these. They work in much the same way, dampen sound perhaps a tiny bit more, and have a waxier, less sterile feel on the skin. Arguably superior, but considerably more expensive and similar lifespan.Decibullz are a more permanent type of earpiece. The molding process is more complex, and they have a more rigid feel. They do dampen sound a bit more, but the difference isn't tremendous. They aren't waterproof and are substantially more expensive.Surefire are intended for the shooting range. They have a flap that opens to allow more sound in, like for conversations, and closed. They don't block as much sound, and are less suitable for "the big ones" than these. They aren't moldable or waterproof, and are considerably more expensive.The Hearos are intended for concerts, and really shine in that environment. They do a much better job not muffling sounds, though they don't dampen as much noise. Not suitable for swimming or sleeping.Bet Slumbur are intended for sleeping. They don't mold to your ear and are more likely to fall out in your sleep, but they do allow for some breathability. They don't block as much sound and aren't suitable for swimming, though may be more suitable for airplanes.Fly Fit are intended for flying. They don't block much noise, but they're breathable and more suitable for takeoff and landing. Not suitable for swimming or especially loud environments where hearing protection is required.If you're looking for waterproof, non-breathable, strongly-dampened earplugs that are cheap enough you won't cry when you lose them, these are for you.

The Vegpoet Reusable Moldable Silicone Earplugs are designed to provide effective noise reduction in a variety of situations, from sleeping and studying to attending concerts and traveling. Their moldable design promises a comfortable, customized fit, making them a popular choice for those seeking relief from unwanted noise. The earplugs are made from a soft, pliable silicone material that can be easily molded to fit the unique contours of any ear canal. This ensures a snug and comfortable fit, effectively sealing off the ear from external noise. I think that this is the item to buy!

Good earplugs

These moldable earplugs are so good. They are so easy to use and since you shape them yourself based on your ear they’re very effective and comfortable. I love how you’re able to change the size based on your own ear. I find these a lot better than the foam earplugs.

I switched to these after using foam ear plugs for many years hoping they would be more effective at reducing noise levels and add provided comfort; however that was not the case for me.These were incredibly difficult to get positioned properly in my ears. One night they could go in effortlessly and the next it would be a battle doing the same exact thing I did the night prior. I also found they were no more comfortable than the foam ear plugs and they actually ended up being more problematic in the end as they made my ears overheat since they don’t breathe.They did provide better levels of noise cancellation than the foam ear plugs but since they hurt my ears so much more I ended up switching back to the foam due to ease of use.The storage case these come in is nice and does stay closed easily. Overall I think these would be better used for protection while swimming than for sleeping.

I’ve been using these silicone ear plugs and they’ve worked surprisingly well for blocking out noise, especially for sleep! They mold easily to the shape of my ear and stay in place comfortably all night. Unlike foam plugs, they don’t go inside the ear canal, so there’s no pressure or irritation which is my favorite part about these. They’re reusable, easy to clean, and a great option for anyone wanting to block out noise!

Really easy to mould and nice packaging. These are probably better for keeping water out than reducing noise, but it does cut down on noise a bit.

I'm a drummer and playing mostly everyday for many years, I have a little bit of ringing in my ears (tinnitus). I've been using the foam earplugs and really press them in there as far as possible and then I use Vic Firth studio/drummer headphones that fit tightly around your ears blocking out all a good amount of outside noise while still being able to hear the music that I'm playing. Eventually, those foam ear plugs would slowly start sliding out which is not a huge deal because I would just press them back it place.These silicone gel ear plugs just takes noise silencing and ear protection to another lever (a much higher level that is)! You roll them into a little ball and slowly insert them into your ear canal. I usually use my little finger since it's a perfect fit for my ear "hole"! You gently press it in and make sure that the entire boarder of your ear canal is covered with the gel ear plugs and not loose. They deaden so much sound but you can still faintly hear things! I've never had anything that does this so well in the past.They do eventually start slowly sliding out a little bit but not as much as the foam ones and they are much easier to just press them back in and continue playing! I also get probably between 4-6 uses out of each pair. Just rinse them off with warm water and a touch of Dawn and pad dry them and they're ready to go again. Great invention! Decent price at $10.74 w/tax and free delivery with Prime for 12 gel plugs.I'll definitely have these on my permanent drumming re-order list like sticks!
