Good earplugs, but no decibel rating on box
In an effort to be as transparent as possible, I was provided these earplugs for free. With that out of the way, I still like them. I have trouble with most earplugs because I have small ears and cartilage piercings. The blue and gray earplugs are soft enough to keep my ears from hurting. They don’t interfere with my jewelry. I might trim some of the tabs off the gray pair and just leave one tab for removal. The tabs are a little long for my ears for sleeping. The orange ones are a bit firmer, but the instructions say they’re only meant to be worn for a few hours anyway. The silicone earplugs are great for keeping water out and they can be formed to any ear shape.<br /><br />The individual boxes are a nice touch. The instructions on the back of the box have some typos though. As with any earplugs, the best way to insert them is to take your opposite hand over your head and pull the top of your ear back. This is the best way to be sure the earplug is deep enough. Be sure to do the same thing when removing otherwise the vacuum you created will hurt as you pull the earplugs out. I didn’t see that in the instructions, but I feel that’s important to include. There’s also no decibel rating anywhere in the packaging so that’s concerning. In the product title, it says 32db so I’m assuming that’s for the orange pair. I wouldn’t use these for hearing protection from loud noises because of that not being explicitly stated, but for keeping water out and for sleeping would be fine.
