They're ok, if somewhat overpriced andsome of the soft wax stays in your ear when you remove them.
I bought them for my girlfriend to block out my snoring. They're better than some earplugs, but not the best either of us have used and they are on the expensive side. We both found that they leave quite a lot of the blue wax residue in the ear after removing them.

Dear Patrick:
After the first time wearing, there sometimes is left a small amount of residue; which is the pure Lanolin; but that will dissipate by the second wearing.
Patrick, after first kneading them sufficiently to make them soft, be sure to push them firmly in and against the ear opening until you get a good seal.
Then listen to the silence, and you'll realize why all our testimonials are accurate and true.
Kindest regards

Regarding value: each pair can be sworn from 35-60 times or more. This is undoubtedly the best value in an ear plug.

I never go anywhere without them!
I love this product! I use them every evening, both at home and traveling. They are comfortable and stay in place and mold to my ear so I can rely on them to work and get some sleep. IT really have become part of my nightly routine to use them and has also helped me get a better night's sleep. I would recommend them over and over. Only issue is that they do leave a bit of residue behind on your ear but I just wipe them out in the shower and it's not enough to stop me from enjoying the product.

DIDNT LIKE
I didnt like these at all. First of all.. too big for my ears. When I did get them in place, didnt block any noise and it is so sticky that it got tangled in my hair like gum.
Not for me. I will stick with the foam ones that expand in your ear and dont get stuck in your hair.
Thank you

Dear Paula:
This all natural, soft and moldable Beeswax earplug WILL NOT BLOCK
OUT (until you prepare and insert it CORRECTLY)!
I too, HAVE HAIR DOWN TO MY SHOULDERS AND I wear this exact ear plug every night & it is without a doubt, the HIGHEST BLOCKING ( most sound suppressing) EAR PLUG IN EXISTENCE,but to experience the superior performance, you must follow these
preparation and insertion directions below, (exactly)and you will see why all the testimonials on our website page are true and accurate.
IMPORTANT! Many women (with smaller ear canals) do not insert the whole ear plug;
for just after they have kneaded the ear plug to make it soft and moldable,
they pinch off at least (a third), and insert a smaller ear plug that fits their
ear canal better, is more comfortable, seals easier and blocks out better.
1. Just as you are about to insert, take ONE ear plug and {work it or knead it}
thoroughly between your fingers or hands for at least 20 seconds to make
it soft, moldable and to disburse the Pure Lanolin throughout the ear plug.
Pure Lanolin makes the ear plug slightly “tacky” so that it stays securely in
the ear canal and seals it. When the ear plug is soft and moldable and ready
to insert, it doesn't matter what shape it is; round, flat, long or narrow; just
follow the next step. If you are going to pinch off to make a smaller ear plug,
then now is the time.
2. Using the tip of your index finger, push FIRMLY & FLATTEN the ear plug
IN and AGAINST your ear canal (until you feel a GOOD SEAL!) If it doesn't
seal immediately, then hold your finger pressed against the ear plug (with
slight pressure) for a few more seconds and it will seal well. THE REASON YOUR HAIR GOT INVOLVED WITH THE EAR PLUG IS BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T PUSH THE EAR PLUG IN AND AGAINST YOUR EAR OPENING (FIRMLY ENOUGH), AND IT PROTRUDED OUTWARD.
3. Now take the other ear plug, prepare it the same way & insert it into the
other ear. With both ear plugs inserted correctly & sealing the ear canals,
you’ll notice a big improvement.
4. To Remove: Simply pinch the ear plug with your thumb & index finger and
gently pull downward and out.
Paula, please give this fine moldable ear plug, “A Fair Test”. It will block out 10 times more sound than foam.

Don't Blame it on Shipping!
Actually shipping is not beyond your control. There are smart ways to ship it and other ways. When we are paying for the shipping, it should be shipped to arrive in a couple of days. I waited WEEKS to receive this, one pair, WEEKS!

Dear Sharon:
We are in the UNITED STATES and you are in CANADA. We are not blaming anything or anyone, but the fact is that all orders shipped to Canada that have to pass through Ontario are delayed by Canadian customs 5 times longer because of the volume coming through that border crossing. It is our sincerest desire that your experience with the ONE pair of ear plugs that you ordered, brings you the silence that far outweighs the long wait to receive them.

BEST EAR PLUGS EVER and they actually stay in your ear all night!
I'm a light sleeper and wake up easily. I have tried many ear plugs and usually by the morning they have fallen out of my ears completely or they are mostly sticking out of my ears. When I first read the reviews about these ear plugs, I thought to myself, are they right? I purchased a 2 pack and the first night I used them, I had the best night of sleep that I have had in long time. I first thought the material of the ear plugs was strange. I have never used a ear plugs that you had to mold with your fingers. I didn't think they would work but they did. Buy these!! It's so worth the money. You will never use another brand of ear plugs again!!

Not what was expected.
I was very disappointed with these as they are supposed to be one of the best in the world. However I am afraid in my case I was very unhappy they don't block out very much noise and I am still unable to sleep without being disturbed .
