Putty Buddies Floating Earplugs for Swimming & Bathing (Invented by Physician) Keep Water Out (10-Pair) Assorted

These work great. Just make sure the ear is clean and DRY before putting them on. Don't shove them too far in. Don't fiddle with them once in. Dampens sound considerably fyi.

Both of my sons had ear tube surgery, so keeping water out of their ears is a top priority — especially now that they’re in summer camp and swimming every day. These Putty Buddies ear plugs have been a lifesaver. They’re super soft, moldable, and stay put even during rough pool play. I love that they float, so we’re not constantly losing them. And the fact that each pair comes in its own little case? Total game-changer for camp — easy to toss in their backpack and keeps everything clean and organized. We’ve tried other brands, but nothing seals as well or is as comfortable for them. Highly recommend for any parent managing ear tubes and active kids.

I anticipate using these for many years to come! My child had ear surgery and has to have their ear protected against water for several months. We started using them post-surgery, but my kid likes how they keep water from bothering their ears in general. Other brands' pluggies were uncomfortable, being stiffer and less malleable. The Putty Buddies are perfectly soft and comfortable. Each single plug lasts us about 2 weeks'-worth of baths/pool/water play before it gets too sticky/falls apart. They fit perfectly into the outer ear and really seal the water out. They seem to give a decent amount of sound reduction because my kid doesn't like to hear me when two pluggies are in. We like to use them with an Ear Band-it, just to make sure they stay secure, but they stay pretty well on their own too. The would be pretty discreet if they were a different color, but my kiddo wanted hot pink, so they're loud and proud. They do look really nice though.

These are our favorite ear plugs for littles with tubes. They actually stay in and are easy to shape to fit even the smallest kids. Just wish you could use them for more than a handful of times.

Got these for my almost 2 year old to help keep water out during bath time because he has tubes in his ears. They work amazingly! And they don’t bother him at all, and so he leaves them alone and they stay in place all bath time. His ears are so small so I tear one in half and use one half for each ear. So now my supply also goes a lot further because of that as well. They’re pretty easy to put in place and come out easily by pushing on the back of the ear. Love this product and only disappointed I didn’t find it sooner lol.
