Silicone ear plugs are recommended for use during water activity to keep the ears dry. They also protect against noise, but are not to be worn inside the ear canal. Wear over the ear canal only. Use only as directed.

Summary: Hearing protection?
Comment: I use these to protect my daughter's ears from noise while we are working around loud equipment on the farm. They stay in place and do not seem to irritate her. The bright color makes them easy to find if they fall out (which rarely happens).

Summary: Excellent product and service
Comment: Putty buddies work exactly as described in the information - they're easy to fit, long lasting and really do prevent water getting into the ear.
The seller, who I have used three times, dispatches quickly and I have no complaints.

Summary: sticky when wet
Comment: I purchased these PUTTY BUDDIES Silicone earplugs, I won't use them again. I put them in my babys ears, and when I went to take them out, there were silicone fragments stuck to her ear. I have now switched to ear plugs from my local drug store.

Summary: fantastic product
Comment: These are much better than other brands, they stay in much better even without the band, although we do use it for his swim lessons. My 3 year old had tubes at 15 months and the holes aren't closing, so he will need water protection for years to come. Other brands came out and were actually harder to press in. And since these are tackier (stickier), I can reuse them more often than the other brands as well. Just better overall.

Summary: Excellent for adult swimmers too !
Comment: I do a lot of lap swimming and my ears are prone to trouble if they get wet too often. I have tried other brands (e.g. Speedo) for ear plugs but strongly prefer these kids plugs for my ears. They are the right size to fit snuggly over the ear opening and they are tacky enough to stay in place during long swim sessions. They look and feel a lot like like Play-Doh (though not exactly and without the smell). They are about the size of small marshmallows. I do not use them with the accessory head band, just the plugs alone. Anyway, they work great and I can get more use out of each pair than I expected. They really protect my ears. Speedy delivery direct from maker as well. Very pleased.
