Wax Ear Plugs - 12 pairs

Wow, these are way better than I expected them to be!I think I had pre-formed an idea of how comfortable these might be based on my experience with silicone "ball" style earplugs in the past, which I found very uncomfortable, awkward-fitting, and hard. (As well as hard to get a good sound seal with, in my ear.)FYI: These are nothing like that.They warm up when rolling them between your fingers or in your hand quite well in less than 15 seconds (unless you have very cold hands, I suppose), and if you follow the packaged instructions on how to insert and fit them for a good seal, they completely close the opening to your ear quite well, and they are shockingly comfortable. (Do not shove them into the narrow part of your ear canal. These totally seal & rest just over the wider part of the opening of your ear canal, like a boulder rolled in front of a cave, to seal the entrance, and you pulling your ear back a teeny bit and then releasing it will "shift" the ball just so and it will settle right in that area with a nice seal. It sounds like it would be uncomfortable resting there at the "cave entrance," but it's not. They feel great.)The warmth of your ear quickly helps them mold even further to your shape, and I slept all night with them with no comfort issues.I am used to my foam ear plugs shifting a bit and making my ear uncomfortable somewhere in the middle of the night at some point, and needing to be readjusted and reinserted.But not these!I love the fact that these are friendly to the Earth and also make me so happy!The thin swaddling of cotton fiber the balls each are surrounded in, in the case, was a surprise and off-putting at first until I read what it was & was for. Do not stick the cotton stuff in your ear with the ball. Read the instructions and remove it.If there's any drawback it's a slight one, but removal isn't as swift and easy as with other types of earplugs. Don't panic, it doesn't get stuck in your ear--but you'll likely have to pull the shell of your ear back and/or up a little to loosen the seal of the plug while pinching the part of the wax ball you can feel with your fingertips or nails and dragging (or sometimes kind of scratch/rolling) it out.For me this is a minor thing compared to the benefit of one of the only Earth-friendly earplugs out there, and the utter comfort, and how well they work. But if you have a phobia of something taking 5-7 seconds vs. 1-2 seconds to remove from your ear, and those extra seconds would cause you panic, then perhaps opt for something else.

I have been using them for years. They eliminate all sound.

I prefer these earplugs to the foam ones. The foam ones irritate the skin in my ears -- these do not. I do wish there were ones just like this made with bees wax and organic cotton - that would be perfect, and I would be willing to pay a premium for a product like that. But so far I have not found any. So these are the best I have found.

I have sensitive hearing & when my dogs move around, I always wake up & lose a lot of sleep. I've been using these waxy ear plugs for years & they're comfortable & completely adjustable in all ears.

I’ve been using Quies for years . My husband is a terrible snorer we sleep in separet rooms unless we are traveling, these are a lifesaver 😉We recently took a 15 day trip, I only had a few left so I ordered more. They worked but are smaller and didn’t work as well. I had to split one “plug” and form the halves with the two whole ones to get the full fit and noise canceling.Still works great but would rather pay a bit more for the same size.

I use every night to sleep at home. And even better when traveling and there are strange noises.Ease of use, no ear pain, comfortable, molds to fit any ear.

A little pricey, but very comfortable and the best noise reduction among all the kinds I've tried.

Excellent to block out the noise. Almost 90 percent of the noise is blocked.
