## Description

desertcart.com : Earvolution Putty Buddies Earplugs for Swimming and Bathing - Doctor-Invented, Made in USA, Moldable Premium Silicone Plugs Help Prevent Swimmer's Ear, 3 Pair Pack - Purple/Teal/Magenta : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Revolutionary Ear Protection That Actually Works for Swimming! - The Earvolution Original Putty Buddies Ear Plugs have completely transformed my swimming experience and provided the first truly effective water protection I've found after years of struggling with ear infections and discomfort! As an avid swimmer who has tried countless ear plug designs without success, these moldable silicone plugs deliver exactly the custom fit and reliable water seal needed for confident swimming without post-activity ear problems. The moldable premium silicone creates perfect custom fit for individual ear shapes that traditional rigid plugs simply cannot achieve. The putty-like consistency allows shaping to exact ear contours, creating comprehensive seals that accommodate unique anatomy while remaining comfortable during extended swimming sessions without pressure points or shifting. What impressed me most is the physician-developed design that reflects genuine understanding of ear anatomy and swimming-related ear health challenges. The medical expertise behind this product shows in thoughtful engineering that prioritizes both effectiveness and ear safety rather than generic approaches that ignore physiological requirements for proper ear protection. The water seal performance is absolutely outstanding, providing complete protection during intensive swimming including underwater activities, diving, and extended pool time without water penetration that has plagued other ear plug attempts. The reliable barrier eliminates post-swimming ear drainage and infection concerns that previously limited my swimming enjoyment. The comfort during extended wear is remarkable for ear protection, maintaining soft, non-irritating contact that doesn't create pressure buildup or discomfort that makes wearing ear plugs intolerable during longer swimming sessions. I can swim for hours without the painful pressure or awkward sensations that other plugs create. the durability through repeated swimming sessions and proper cleaning maintains moldability and sealing effectiveness without degradation or hardening that reduces performance over time. The quality silicone retains its flexible properties through extensive use while being easily cleaned and reshaped for optimal fit maintenance. The ease of insertion and removal eliminates the struggle and discomfort associated with rigid ear plugs that require forcing into ear canals or create removal difficulties. The moldable design allows gentle, comfortable insertion while being simple to remove without pain or excessive manipulation. The versatility extends beyond swimming to shower protection, water sports, and any situation where ear water protection becomes necessary for health or comfort reasons. The adaptable design works effectively across various water exposure scenarios while maintaining consistent protective performance. The prevention of swimmer's ear and related infections has been life-changing for someone previously plagued by recurring ear problems following swimming activities. The reliable water exclusion eliminates the cycle of infection, treatment, and swimming restrictions that previously made pool activities problematic rather than enjoyable. The value for ear health protection is substantial compared to medical treatment costs for ear infections or the limitation of swimming activities due to ear concerns. The investment in proper ear protection pays dividends in maintained ear health and unrestricted swimming enjoyment. The physician endorsement provides confidence about ear safety and proper design considerations that matter when inserting foreign objects into sensitive ear canals. The medical credibility supports trust in both effectiveness and safety for regular swimming use. For swimmers, water sports enthusiasts, or anyone needing reliable ear water protection while maintaining comfort and effectiveness, these moldable ear plugs deliver exactly the custom fit and medical-grade performance needed for confident water activities without ear health concerns.
Review: Perfect bath time companion for kids with tubes!!!!! - These are perfect for kids with ear problems and tubes. My daughter has had tubes put in her ears twice now and she has a lot of problems she cant get water in her ears and no matter what we do it always seems to happen and I have to end up going to the doctor or hospital because she is screaming that her ears hurt so bad. That was until I found these they work so well and let no water enter her ear that she could actually enjoy her bath instead of stress that her ears were going to get wet and then hurt. These are really easy to put in I just pinched off a little bit and used the remainder and smoothed it over the inside of her ear. She could even laydown in the bath so I could wash her hair and still no water got in they never fell out and they stayed secure. When bath time was over all you have to do it pinch the ear together a little and it will fold over enough to pull it out. There was no leftover residue it didn't stick to her hair and I can use them again. these are worth every penny I paid and have made my daughter so much happier now she is excited to take baths again!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keeps my ears dry in the shower
*by W***H on June 1, 2025*

Nice and works fairly well, just wish they gave a little,case for each color. They are not uncomfortable but sort of hard to get in my ear so no water gets in. The colors are pretty and I would use them again
