25 Pair Howard Leight Max Lite Foam Ear Plugs Earplugs

Most ear plugs make my ears hurt. No matter how soft they're supposed to be, they exert too much pressure on my ear canals, and also the edges leave indentions that hurt and itch for hours after they're removed.These ear plugs resolve ALL of those problems! They're super soft and exert little to no pressure. And the soft rounded ends tail leave no gouges or indentions.Do they block as much as noise as some others? No. They're definitely adequate for sleeping with a severely snoring partner, but I have used a few types more effective at noise blocking.Also, because they're sooooo soft, they're a little more difficult to get in. When you roll them up, they're not stiff like other earplugs, so they can easily bend going in. But with practice, it gets easier.They still get 5 stars because it was such a relief to finally find plugs I could wear without pain!BTW, the Laser Lites by the same company are the same shape and are just a little more dense/stiff so they block noise slightly better. I have some as backups but they don't compare to these for comfort.

I bought to replace my usual brand that I had used for almost 20 years but they changed to those hard rubbery ones that kill your ears. I took a chance on this new brand and they work great. I have to sleep with ear plugs because I'm a very light sleeper, and these green ear plugs have been perfect. They look and feel like they might not fit well and do the job, but looks are deceiving. They are very easy to squish and insert and they expand without any pain to your ears. And they stop the noises in the house or outside my windows. We have a train right outside our neighborhood that we can easily hear and these drown that out completely. I just hope this brand doesn't change to that hard rubbery stuff so I can continue using these for another 20 years.

These are just the right size/shape and quantity for me (definitely don't need 200 pair of earplugs for personal use). Great sound blocking, but not 100% - I can still hear the cell phone or alarm clock on my nightstand which is good. Very easy to roll and insert into the ear canal, and my ears aren't ever sore the next morning either. One pair lasts me over a month, about 5-6 weeks, on average.

Earplugs fit exactly as advertised. Other types hurt my ears but the reduced pressure on these works perfectly.

These used to be a good product (I've used them for years) but have gone downhill and are now an absolutely terrible product. Most are so soft they won't stay in my ears, and when they do, they barely block any sound.

Use these every night for sleep. They seal well and are worth every penny. I sleep great and ears don't hurt. Fit well and the noise reduction is pretty good for something not as firm. Easy to remove.

Very soft

I've tried other ear plugs and none of them worked as well as these. It completely blocks out the noise of a loud humidifier fan (which my husband uses for white noise) and the sound of his c-pap when the seal leaks air. I can always hear my alarm, though, when it goes off in the morning.
