Does not fit tiny ear holes = EarSad
I bought these almost a year ago as a last ditch effort to maintain the tenuous grip on sanity that comes with extended sleep deprivation. As I'm writing this at 1:47AM from the resentful position of my couch, I can report this purchase was made in vain. For reference, I purchased these based on the high reviews, reviews which mentioned their capability to fit even the tiniest ear holes, the number of options in the box and finally, cost. After multiple attempts to use these to block out the variety of snores emanting from the other side of the bed, including my personal favorite - the ventilator inhale/kuzo exhale combo - these are not the solution for me. However, I can impart some pros and cons. The packaging is very nice, the quality of the ear plugs is very good and the storage containers are well made. There is no explanation in or on the box I received (or in the listing that I could find) about which ear plugs work best for what activity. I had to search the reviews for an explanation. That said I still gave each one a go. All were terribly uncomfortable (again, freakishly small ear holes) and had to be jammed pretty far into the canal to get them to stay but would eventually pop and/or fall out. The "pulls" on all stuck out really far, preventing me from sleeping on my side. After trimming them back, this was remedied, but their inability to stay put was still a problem as was how painful they were to wear. I can say for the brief time they stayed put, they did greatly diminish even the loudest wildlife impressions produced by my husband.
