Slim Fit Foam Earplugs

Must have for women or anyone in general with smaller ears. I have struggled with other earplugs not fitting properly due to the size and these fit so well! They are the easiest ones to get into the ear and not struggle to get the foam to compress and fit. There are soft enough to not cause pain when sleeping but stay in the ear well. Effective at cutting out most noises. I highly recommend for anyone who needs a pair of earplugs that are comfy to sleep in and cut out smaller and more irritating noises.

Highly recommend trying these if you have struggled with foam earplugs. As an older guy I've struggled for decades with foam earplugs (for shipyards, powerplants, cutting the lawn, shop work, etc.), and was thrilled when a relative gave me a pair of these to try. Recently I've taken to using them at night and when at the gym (with a bone conduction headset). Even as slim fits it's still slightly convoluted for me to get them well inserted (and they come out "bent"), but once fully inserted (which I apparently could never do with ALL the other earplugs I've tried) it's staggering how effective and comfortable they are. In my decades of using hearing protection I'd not realized quite how effective this type could be when they're really fitted well. At night all the ambient noises are completely gone - no doors opening/closing, spouse snoring, kitchen noises, TV, etc. And I find them exceedingly comfortable and they stay in all night, with no driving desire in the AM to pull them out.

Since everyone's ears are different I think you always just have to try different types of ear plugs to find which are best for you. Reviews can only point out certain features. I tried three types of Mack's ear plugs. Mack's Slim Fit: These worked the best for me. Standard size drug store foam earplugs seem a bit too large for my ear canal so they tend to work loose over time as they expand but the Slim Fit's stayed secure in place and are comfortable, plus the tip is blunt rather then pointed as in the next type I tried. Mack's Dreamgirl: A touch too small for me plus they have pointed tips that can irritate when pushed in firmly. Mack’s ThermaFit: Interesting concept but not for me. Large diameter cylindrical ear plugs that initially rolled up OK for insertion but upon expansion worked their way loose due to their size. More importantly they are made of a material with a gritty feel to it that is a constant irritation.

I have been wearing foam earplugs so that I could sleep at night for more than 26 years. It started with my husband’s apnea and snoring, continued through his first cpap machine (his early ones were *noisy*), and continued after the machines finally went silent. I had gotten so used the blessed silence the plugs provided that I couldn’t sleep without them. But lately, I couldn’t find the brand I’d been using for years. They were too long and too bulky for my ear canals but a bit of creative snipping made them wearable. I tried a few brands from the local drugstore, but even with cutting them down, I was experiencing pain and discomfort that, at 73 years of age, I wasn’t about to deal with. Enter Mack’s ear plugs Slim Fit. I had no idea such a plug was available and immediately ordered them. I’ve been using them for a couple of weeks now and am very, very pleased with them. The are easily inserted without having to smoosh them down to toothpick size, I no longer have to cut the ends off because they are too long, and the quiet is sheer bliss. If you have small ear canals, I highly recommend trying them. The packaging is terrific, too. A compact jar of 50 sets fits nicely in my nightstand drawer, and the pop top makes access easier than the over packaged individual bags I used to have to deal with. I’m so pleased with this purchase!

These are so comfortable and I sleep on my side with them every night. I bring them on trains so I can block out any annoying noises and always carry a pair in my purse in case I feel overstimulated by sound in public spaces. I even bring them to the movie theater to wear while watching some movies, because I don't know about you, but I feel like movies have gotten 10x louder since 2020. I can even still hear dialogue while wearing them, but I don't get blasted out of my seat by noise. Please never stop making these.

To the one struggling to decide which ear plugs to get, I hope this helps. I spent hours, if not days, researching ear plugs on Amazon. I ended up with 8 different ones because, well, I’m indecisive. Many of these didn’t work for me due to my own weird ear anatomy but I wanted to give my experience with each and what I’d recommend given your situation. Everything is subjective, but I hope this helps someone else as the previous reviews helped me. I’ll put my quick summary first and the details after for those wanting more info. *The pink ear plug is an average run-of-the-mill ear plug for size comparison. To summarize: If you have shorter ear canals and more sensitive ears I would recommend Mack’s Thermafit, adult/kids silicone ear plugs, or Hearos Softstar foam. If you have average ear canals and want the most noise blocking I would get Howard Leight. If you prefer contoured earplugs and find them to be the most comfortable then get Flents Protech Contour. If you have very narrow (but not short) ear canals, then get Mack’s slim fit or Flents Protech Sleeping. White Hearos Softstar foam: These ear plugs are wider than most but shorter and the foam is very soft. They are comfortable and didn’t hurt my ears, even when laying on my side. The foam is so light and fluffy though it lets in more noise than other ear plugs. If comfort is most important to you, you’re a side sleeper, and you don’t need complete silence, these are for you. Tan Mack’s Thermafit: This was the last pack of ear plugs I ordered to try and I finally found the right ones for me. The foam expands more quickly and is a bit rougher texture than others but once you get it in your ear it is just as comfortable at the Hearos and blocks as much (if not more) noise as Howard Leights and silicone. If you have short ear canals, want something comfortable that blocks out the most noise, try Mack’s thermafit. Purple Mack’s Slim fit: I have somewhat smaller ear canals but these were too narrow for me. They didn’t block any sound and despite them being thin, they are still long. If you have very narrow ear canals that are an average length, these would be a good choice for you. Dark Green Howard Leight low pressure: Howard Leights are soft and I found that they blocked out the most sound out of all the ear plugs I tried. They are a bit long for my ears but I just have short ear canals. If you have average ear canals and want the most noise blocking ear plugs, I would recommend these. Light Green Flents Protech Contour: I like contour ear plugs because my ears are sensitive. These are pretty large ear plugs and not the best for those with small ears. They were the best price of all the earplugs I tried. If you have average-larger ear canals, are a side sleeper, or prefer contoured ear plugs, these are for you. Blue/White Flents Protech Sleeping: I thought these would be my Goldilocks ear plugs after I liked the regular Protech contour ones but found them to be too big. Well these were way too small. They fit in my ears easily but don’t block any noise, much like the slimfits. I can still hear the clock ticking, the traffic, my dog snoring everything. I’m so bummed! If you have tiny (and I mean tiny) ears and like the contoured foam, I would get these. Mack’s silicone ear plugs (orange kids and clear regular): As someone who generally hates having things deep in my ears, silicone ear plugs sounded like the way to go. I found the clear ones to be huge and I was having to cut them in half so I ended up getting the kids size. They are comfortable and are good for side sleeping. They also block out a lot of noise. My issue with these is that they tend to suction to your ear which is uncomfortable and you can hear your heart beating in your ears. I think it’s something you can get use to though. If you hate foam/regular ear plugs, have small or sensitive ears, and want to still block a lot of noise, I’d try these. Of all the ones I tried, I found Mack’s Theramfit to be the best all around. Happy sleeping!

I have used several different earplugs for sleeping, but the Mack's earplugs are the best. Other earplugs may start out feeling okay, but after a while they become uncomfortable. Mack's feel comfortable throughout the night and are great at blocking noise.

These earplugs are amazing!! I'm a night shift worker and sometimes I struggle with sleeping during the day, especially on days that they are mowing the lawn in my apartment complex or just other family members moving about in the house. So a coworker suggested earplugs but I knew I needed to find ones that for small/ sensitive ears. So I researched and found these. They work!! I've been able to sleep like a baby. I would say they block out about 90% of noise, but its imperative to follow the instructions so that you're putting them in correctly. They don't slip out my ears. If you have small ears, definitely try these. I recommend 100%

Je connaissais déjà le produit acheté en petit conditionnement par le passé; ici on a le grand bocal, pour un prix très correct, on a de quoi tenir longtemps! Probablement prévu à usage unique, chez nous on les ré-utilise plusieurs fois sans problèmes car elles sont de bonne qualité et reprennent leur forme facilement. Elles sont bien adaptées pour les petits conduits auriculaires, même un enfant de 11 ans les a testées avec succès. Et en prime, la couleur violette est jolie!

Jakość jest dobra, ale one są strasznie chude. Trudno ocenić.

Absolutely fantastic for my tiny ears, and no irritation whatsoever, they block out all noise. I have a portable AC unit in my bedroom it’s soooo noisy, these earplugs block out that noise, and I stay cool all night, I’m so happy with these I could kiss the person who suggested making them for small ears with tiny ear canals.

Muito bom. Bloqueia o som e é confortável. O melhor protetor auricular de espuma que já comprei. Recomendo.

المنتج مناسب جدا للناس اللى قناة الاذن بتاعته ضيقة ... مش نفس عزل البيج لكن مريحة جدا عنها.
