OHROPAXClassic Earplugs - 6 Pairs

These earplugs work very well. They are made from wax and are more malleable than silicon earplugs. As with all ear plugs they will create a little pressure in your ear when you first put them in but this can be released with ease (less pressure compared to silicon earplugs).You do need to warm these up in you hand. Once warm roll into a ball and then mould them over the ear canal. The longer you warm them in your hands the easier they are to apply.While sleeping the earplugs tend to create a better seal around your ear canal because they will warm up from your body heat. Once they settle in these earplugs can reduce noise level by 21 - 29 dB.There are 12 wax earplugs included and I find that one pair lasts me 7 days.The one down side from the silicon earplugs is that they leave a little sticky residue of wax in your ear after use.Having tried many earplugs (silicon, foam and wax) I find these are the best and even though they leave some residue behind its 5 stars from me. Never slept better.

Easy to use, comfortable, can be shaped individually, last a long time. They muffle sounds well.

Normal ear plugs (the kind airlines give out on long-haul flights) rarely fit in my ear, and when they do, the fit is so loose it does not seem to make much difference sound-wise. These wax earplugs, however, are the perfect solution! You roll them up in your fingers to make them slightly soft and then basically seal off your ear canal from external noise. My family and I used them on holiday over New Year's as we had read reviews of our accommodation stating that it was situated in a 'lively, bustling neighbourhood' (i.e. very noisy at night). Although there were many bars blaring out music, and people chatting and drinking in the streets, I shut out all the sounds and slept completely undisturbed.If normal foam earplugs do not work for you, then I really cannot recommend these enough.

Very effective . Good idea to soften them a bit first between fingers for a bit before shaping into a rugby ball shape then pushing and turning gently towards but not INTO ear-canal (had to get ear syringed after going in too far- +see below ) Check there are no audible sounds by flicking middle finger off thumb right up to ear).It's impossible to block out all sound ,but enough to get off to sleep. They do dry out a bit after the first couple of uses so be sure to re-box after each use .Also excess wax can remain in the ear and cause deafness for a few hours after, but this usually goes off.If it doesn't it means they have been pushed in too far or some wax has dissolved into the ear canal causing part deafness for days which could require a syringing at the docs! Having mislaid these earplugs recently I came across similar ones (in white) in a well known UK chemist store cheaper and just as effective

Couldnt get it to work. I wanted to use it while sleeping because I am a light sleeper. I followed the instructions and put them in my ears but they kept falling off my ears during the night. I also found the fitting process quite difficult. My hands were covered in wax after trying to fit them in my ears as well, a bit messy.

I used Flent's earplugs from the United States for years. They became harder to get when Walgreens stopped carrying them. I saw these recommended and got a few boxes. They are better quality than Flents. A bit softer and waxier, but same effective sound blocking. The little plastic case is nicer. The only funky thing about these is that the pink cotton is more on the surface of each earplug than woven in. It makes them look like little bits have fallen off of a pink easter bunny, and you kind of have to knead them a bit so they are usable. But that doesn't really matter. These are great. Much better than your typical foam earplugs. These block out much more noise.

I bought these because I have a neighbour who loves to party all night at the top of his voice and I was at my wits' end.I had tried foam earplugs and they didn't work at all - all the noise just went straight in my ears but I had the uncomfortable feeling of my ears being full of something.These are a great product, they block out almost all the noise - sometimes it takes a wee while, but as they get warmer in your ears they seem to work even better. They feel a bit funny at first, but you forget about that once you are asleep.I would recommend these highly.

As an alternative to foam earplugs, I decided to give these a try. Unfortunately, they are not for me.1) The cotton wool ‘packaging’ is problematic to remove, often resulting in traces of cotton wool still being stuck to the wax earplugs. Thus, removing remnants of the ‘packaging’ can be quite time-consuming (a problem exacerbated on warm or hot days).2) The wax earplugs are small in size and fail to effectively cover the ear canals. As a result, I found these ineffective when blocking out noise. Performance-wise, I found the wax earplugs to be worse than the silicone and foam alternatives.3) These wax earplugs are messy to use! They slightly melt and stain the supplied container, they leave waxy residue on both hands (after application) and pillows (after usage), and there’s always a concern that traces of the wax could make its way further down the ear canal.4) Unlike other alternatives, they can’t be re-used (or re-used that many times), making them an expensive night-time option in the long run.Thankfully, I was able to return these for a refund. But, in the foreseeable future, I will continue using foam earplugs.
