Squishies

TLDR; Really great! They stay in, last longer than other brands, and they're very comfortable. They do not block out all sound and that's an unrealistic expectation. I occasionally have to get my partner to roll onto his stomach if the snoring is bad, but they help to block out enough volume which makes it easier for me to fall asleep. I love these and will be definitely order again if there's no issues. My partner saws logs and I'm a very light sleeper, so I've tried many different earplugs: •The foam ones often felt out throughout the night which meant a lot of nights of suddenly being woken up by his snoring. They also really irritated my ears, no matter the brand. I got tired of having itchy and slightly sore ears. •The plastic ones hurt and also didn't stag in. Same goes for the reusable rubber kind. I tried this style of earplug about a month or so ago and loooooved it. I was buying Target's "Up & Up" brand of moldable earplugs and they worked great! I ran out and thought I'd give this brand a shot and I'm super happy I did! 1. They are softer than Target's brand. They also don't get dry out as easily, making them more comfortable in the long run. 2. They definitely are bigger and fit better in my ears. I have big ears so I haven't tried cutting them in half to make a pair out of one plug, though I probably could get away with it because of their size. 3. They stay in! I'm on my second pair and haven't woken up from them having fallen out. I wore the first pair for maybe 5 days, which is probably longer than I'm supposed to, but I haven't had any irritation thus far. Things to keep in mind when buying earplugs: • They will never block out all sound. That's an unrealistic expectation and will only lead to disappointment. BUT, they block out enough sound that I am able to fall asleep. I can talk with my partner with them in if he's talking at a higher volume, otherwise I can't tell what he's saying and can barely hear him. • No earplug is 100% reusable, including the soft rubbery ones that are similar to earbuds. You would have to meticulously wash those very often and even then there comes a point when they'll need replaced. • I make sure to clean my ears before using these. I think that's partly why I was able to use one pair for 5 or so days. Cleaner hygiene = cleaner earplugs = more use. Shocking! ;P • I haven't used these long enough to comment on whether or not they'll irritate my skin. They might irritate yours as with any other product that comes in contact with skin. That's solely dependent on your skin and body. Reduce, reuse, recycle: REDUCE: This is first in the phrase because it's the most environmentally friendly one can do. Because they're big enough for some people to cut in half, the longevity not only saves money but is more environmentally friendly. REUSE: Again, these plugs can be used more than once which is great. I wouldn't use one pair for a long time but they definitely are not a single-use product. RECYCLE: The plastic case if comes in can be used in so many different ways. It can hold sewing supplies or be used as a small first aid kit, etc. Before you throw it away or even put it in your recycling bin, try to think about what you can store in them which is better than immediately trashing the case. I'm not sure what can be done with the plugs themselves when it's time to retire a pair. But I'm sure there's some way to do so. Give em a shot.

I bought a few different types of disposable earplugs to try out, specifically for sleeping. I am a light sleeper, and I often sleep on my side. These were my favourite ones that I’ve tried because you can tear them in half (I have small ears). Because of that, I’ve found them more comfortable than other brands, which tell you to keep them intact. Also, a few reviews mentioned they can be really sticky at first and to watch out for your hair. A couple of hairs have stuck to it now and then but it’s barely noticeable. I do not wear my hair up sleeping and I’ve been using these every night for at least two weeks. Not a single issue with my hair OR with them falling out. I get at least two uses out of them (I’ve tried a third a couple of times).

I live near a highway and these earplugs are very comfortable and isolating. I highly rate them.

I’ve used Mack’s for YEARS. They’ve served me well, but I’ve noticed that I normally need to swap them out every few days as they become less sticky & less effective at sound dampening. I read a review about these Eargasm Squishies & purchased them to see if they were worth the hype. Let me tell you what, they totally are!!! Not only do they provide, in my opinion, superior noise cancelling; I’m a relatively light sleeper, especially when just going to bed. My boyfriend has learned to be in bed before me or he will face the wrath of disturbing my sleep. With these, I’m pretty sure I could sleep through the apocalypse! I usually only have one in at a time so I can hear my alarm or any calls that come in; if I wear both, my phone alarm has to be at full volume & right next to my ear to hear it! They also last me AT LEAST a week, if not longer. Unlike Mack’s, you don’t have to spend a few minutes warming these up; they become pliable very quickly & are easily inserted, & will stay inserted all night long. I have a rather small ear opening & these are the perfect size for me. Given how long each earplug lasts me, these were well worth the money spent! If you’re on the fence, go for it, you won’t be disappointed!

I have tiny ear canals - works great. .
