Flents Ear Plugs, 50 Pair for Sleeping, Snoring, Loud Noise, Traveling, Concerts, Construction, & Studying, Foam Earplugs, NRR 29 'NEW FORMULA'

Another revision (as of 6/2012): I think that Flents heard the complaints from long time users. I recently ordered the other Flents Quiet Please...the ones that are hexagonal foam. Although they got positive reviews on Amazon, they were not as good as the original. I returned them and again ordered the 50 pr jar. I am pleasantly surprised! One pair is again lasting 5 days with very effective sound blocking. I won't delete my original review because it shows that sellers can respond to buyers complaints. Thank You Flents.Revised review alert! Below is the review I wrote upon recieving the 50pr container in January (I thought I was getting a good buy)...I had a small box to go through and didn't open and use this order until last week. As another critic said, Flents seems to have changed the quality and not for the better. The good news is that they still are comfortable and block noise as effectively. The bad news is that where as I used to be able to get at least 4 nights wear out of one pair, this new order is barely usable for 2 wearings. I had an older pair that I keep in a travel kit and the difference is noticeable...the new foam is softer and breaks down faster. They are also slightly shorter. Shame on Flents for diminishing the quality of a wonderful product. So much for the good price I thought I was getting. I would rather pay a bit more as the price of consistancy. But having said that, below is my original review:I've been using Flents Quiet Please Ear Plugs for a few years now...I wish I had known about them years before. They are far better than Hearos, Macks, or even the other Flent earplug styles for noise blocking and comfort. Watch what you buy because Flent's also makes another Quiet Please model(called Ear Stopples) and a plastic foam style called Quiet Time...these are not the same! The only drawback is that they do have to be disposed of within 3-6 uses. But that's not really a big deal. Here are a few usage tips if you have a hard time inserting them:1)Moisten your ear canal with a few drops of water with one hand while you roll the plug as tightly as possible with the other.2)Pull you ear away from you head with the opposite hand while you insert the plug.3)Open you mouth as wide as possible...this seems to help open the canal.4)Work quickly...the plugs start to expand within seconds. If it doesn't go immediately, don't attempt to stuff in the expanded plug. Re-roll the plug and re-mositen you ear.5)Don't expect both ear canals to be the same angle. For me, the right one always goes in more easily than the left. Be patient...it may take several tries before you get a sense of the angle of each ear.

I suffer from chronic migraines (I get 3 migraine days about every 3 weeks). However, the world doesn't stop turning and people love loud bassy music and rumbly motors no matter how much it makes my head feel like it's going to explode. Ear plugs are absolutely essential during my migraines! I used to love Mack's ear plugs... until they changed their formula. After a very long and exhausting search, I finally found Flents! They weren't as good as my Mack's had been but they fit my ears without hurting and were good enough to cut most of the noise that caused my head to feel like it would explode.Well, were! I just opened the newest jar of flent's during my latest migraine (I live in an apartment and a guy kindly likes to work on his very loud and growly engine til 11 at night and start again at 6am). I put my trusty flents in and laid down. But it was weird I could hear my fan, which normally I can't. And I could hear every single rev of the truck as if it were inside my bedroom. I took the earplugs out and put them back in thinking maybe it was me. Same thing! Tried a fresh pair, same thing! My head was reaching the point where i wasn't sure I was going to be able to hold down water! Thankfully I still had a pair from my old jar and I put those in. As they expanded the fan and growl of the motor slowly faded until I could barely hear the motor and its revving was little more than a distant sound that no longer felt like it was reverberating through my head.Later on, I checked the new bottle and realized it had a new label that read "Protech." I then took out the ear plugs and noticed they were VERY squishy. I took out the last pair remaining at the bottom of my old jar and they were squishy but so much more firm. You could tell the material was much better in the "old" pair that came out of the old jar without the Protech logo.Again I tried the earplugs side by side and, the protech ones not only didn't help cut out any sound, it seemed to almost amplify the sound somehow?! (That could be just me)I would definitely not recommend these earplugs now that they are being made by Protech. They are comfortable, but they are also cheap, flimsy and not only let in tons of sound but, at least in my case, amplify sound. So back to the grueling grind of finding new earplugs! Wish me luck and hope this helps someone save their money as it's too late for me to return these crappy imitations of what used to be an excellent earplug!TL; DR version:*Used to be pretty awesome but seems Flents was bought out by a new company who now makes them cheaply (material is very soft and too squishy and even a different color than the ones I got end of last year).Pro(s):*VERY comfortable and fits extra small earholesCons:*New formula no longer cuts out hardly any noise*In my case, seemed to amplify the worst noises (loud bassy music, growly motors, neighbors dog barking)***UPDATE/FYI:I forgot to put this in my review above...*Amazon has made this item a non-returnable item. So be aware that even if you are within your 30 day period for a return you will **not** be able to return this item!!!If you really want to try these (hey everyone is different and these didn't work for me but that doesn't mean they won't for you), I would highly recommend a much smaller trial size box or finding some at Walmart, Target, or any other store that still honors a return window on items if you can.Hope this helps someone to save a little time, money and frustration!

Ordered these foam earplugs for my daughter she has bionic ears heard every little noise and doesn’t sleep. These earplugs help. You roll them in between your thumb and index finger to fit them in the ears and then they expand and voila noise gone. Been using this style for years and they really work.
