The best I have come across so far
I am a pretty light sleeper, always in search of the best performing ear plugs around. I searched everywhere, including pestering my bother-in-law who is a safety engineer,for the latest and greatest in ear plugs. I think these ear plugs certainly occlude the major noises no doubt (e.g. my daughter's sleep over party), as long as they are pushed in the ear so as to make an occlusive tight fit into the outer ear canal. The reasons why I did not give them a five star rating are that the puddy-like substance is malleable to heat and friction, so as you use them at night they become a little hardened so as not to comform to the ear as well; thus they sometimes fall out or "pull out" of their occlusive fit. I have to push them back into my ears when I am awaken by my loud snoring husband. Additoinally, I sort of wish they made them in clear or white color, not in blue, because as I sleep with them, their discolor my white pillowcover and bedsheets, even though it comes out in the wash. Overall, I am very pleased with their performance and use them as the primary solution to a good night's sleep and great vacation experience, not to mention my on-going 22 years of marriage! BTW, I bought the six pack and gave a pair each to my four daughters and sister!
