Mack’s ThermaFit Soft Foam Earplugs, 40 Pair - Comfortable Ear Plugs for Sleeping, Snoring, Work, Travel & Loud Events | Made in USA | Newly Upgraded and Improved

To the one struggling to decide which ear plugs to get, I hope this helps. I spent hours, if not days, researching ear plugs on Amazon. I ended up with 8 different ones because, well, I’m indecisive. Many of these didn’t work for me due to my own weird ear anatomy but I wanted to give my experience with each and what I’d recommend given your situation. Everything is subjective, but I hope this helps someone else as the previous reviews helped me. I’ll put my quick summary first and the details after for those wanting more info. *The pink ear plug is an average run-of-the-mill ear plug for size comparison. To summarize: If you have shorter ear canals and more sensitive ears I would recommend Mack’s Thermafit, adult/kids silicone ear plugs, or Hearos Softstar foam. If you have average ear canals and want the most noise blocking I would get Howard Leight. If you prefer contoured earplugs and find them to be the most comfortable then get Flents Protech Contour. If you have very narrow (but not short) ear canals, then get Mack’s slim fit or Flents Protech Sleeping. White Hearos Softstar foam: These ear plugs are wider than most but shorter and the foam is very soft. They are comfortable and didn’t hurt my ears, even when laying on my side. The foam is so light and fluffy though it lets in more noise than other ear plugs. If comfort is most important to you, you’re a side sleeper, and you don’t need complete silence, these are for you. Tan Mack’s Thermafit: This was the last pack of ear plugs I ordered to try and I finally found the right ones for me. The foam expands more quickly and is a bit rougher texture than others but once you get it in your ear it is just as comfortable at the Hearos and blocks as much (if not more) noise as Howard Leights and silicone. If you have short ear canals, want something comfortable that blocks out the most noise, try Mack’s thermafit. Purple Mack’s Slim fit: I have somewhat smaller ear canals but these were too narrow for me. They didn’t block any sound and despite them being thin, they are still long. If you have very narrow ear canals that are an average length, these would be a good choice for you. Dark Green Howard Leight low pressure: Howard Leights are soft and I found that they blocked out the most sound out of all the ear plugs I tried. They are a bit long for my ears but I just have short ear canals. If you have average ear canals and want the most noise blocking ear plugs, I would recommend these. Light Green Flents Protech Contour: I like contour ear plugs because my ears are sensitive. These are pretty large ear plugs and not the best for those with small ears. They were the best price of all the earplugs I tried. If you have average-larger ear canals, are a side sleeper, or prefer contoured ear plugs, these are for you. Blue/White Flents Protech Sleeping: I thought these would be my Goldilocks ear plugs after I liked the regular Protech contour ones but found them to be too big. Well these were way too small. They fit in my ears easily but don’t block any noise, much like the slimfits. I can still hear the clock ticking, the traffic, my dog snoring everything. I’m so bummed! If you have tiny (and I mean tiny) ears and like the contoured foam, I would get these. Mack’s silicone ear plugs (orange kids and clear regular): As someone who generally hates having things deep in my ears, silicone ear plugs sounded like the way to go. I found the clear ones to be huge and I was having to cut them in half so I ended up getting the kids size. They are comfortable and are good for side sleeping. They also block out a lot of noise. My issue with these is that they tend to suction to your ear which is uncomfortable and you can hear your heart beating in your ears. I think it’s something you can get use to though. If you hate foam/regular ear plugs, have small or sensitive ears, and want to still block a lot of noise, I’d try these. Of all the ones I tried, I found Mack’s Theramfit to be the best all around. Happy sleeping!

These have a smooth surface, which work just as well but don't irritate my ears like the more porous 3M brand. These are harder to roll and put in, however, because they don't hold their shape long enough to slip as far as needed into the ear canal. I'll put up with the challenge, though, because they're so comfortable and work very well.

Have you ever owned six boxes of ear plugs not knowing which ones will actually work and help you sleep? Well that's me when I found the Flent ear plugs I thought my search was over. Back in 2021 I thought I had finally found solution to all my problems but just a few months ago when I tried to replace those earplugs the formula wasn't right and they didn't block the noise like they used to. What I like about these earplugs is that there not ultrasoft (they are comfortable nonetheless) and they are a little more on the rough foam side with that said the temperature capability of adapting in your ear is tremendous and matches the functionality that I used to find in the old earplugs I had. My biggest problem with earplugs is they don't stay in your ear and they don't block any noise these happen to work for me and I'm excited to say that I can finally muffle the sounds of my cats meowing in the middle of the night so that they don't wake me up. I have bought countless earplugs of all shapes and colors and sizes and formulas and they don't stay in my ear and they don't muffle the meows of my cat which is my biggest issue. The search is over if you need to replace the old Flent ear plugs this is it!!

According to my purchase history, I've ordered these 11 times! Despite what the research says, earplugs like these WILL stretch your ear canal. I wish there were another option that didn't need to go inside your ear, but I've searched endlessly for something else and have never found an alternative. I used to use Mack's soft foam earplugs which are way smaller and had to keep switching as each type I used would eventually be too small to block out any noise. I discovered these Thermafit earplugs which expand to your ear's shape and these are the only ones that are now big enough to fit my ears and block out the noise. I can stick my finger directly into my ear hole now and go straight back whereas I was never able to do that before. So I wanted to say that first! If you are a consistent earplug user, this may also happen to you. I also find that these strip the natural oily feeling from the surface of my ears and this dryness can sometimes be irritating. That being said, these have helped tremendously with sleep since I started using them and that makes these worth it for me. I'm an extremely light sleeper and any kind of noise will jolt me awake. With these in, I find that 90-95% of the noise is blocked out, e.g. dogs barking, people talking and walking around upstairs or downstairs, music, tv, garbage trucks, etc. There's a small percentage of loud noise that will get in and that makes me comfortable if there's ever an emergency. I did have a real fire in the old building I was in and the fire alarm went off with these in and I heard it just fine! You do need to briefly massage and roll the ends of these first for a few seconds to fit them comfortably in your ears. Directions for these types of earplugs also recommend pulling your ear back to open up your ear canal for easier insertion. My ear holes are unfortunately so large now that I can kind of just roll and stuff these in, so that works for me although I recommend doing it the right way. Once in, you will feel them expand to fit your ears. I don't really have issues with the level of comfort but sometimes I do need to adjust one side if it hurts laying on it. There are quite a few of these in a jar and I stretch their use by using one side one night and the other side the next night and then I toss them. I usually get the large jar of 40 but with inflation I'm having a hard time prioritizing the cost of earplugs in my budget. I wish Mack's would offer an in between count of 25 or so and not just a quantity of 10 or 40. I took a star off what would normally be a five-star rating because the last batch I received has a bunch of earplugs firmly stuck together and also stuck firmly to the bottom of the jar. While sometimes these will lightly stick together and need to be pulled apart, I've never had that issue pervasively with these before and it makes me question if they were old stock or if these have gone down in quality recently, as most products have.

These are the best, I've used them before, but decided to try something different. BUT here I am back to this brand, and this ear plug! They go in easy, and the noise is gone. I live on a very busy street, traffic is constant. Been sleeping great.

This product is so good at noise reduction that it has literally made me late to work because I can’t hear my alarms in the morning. I live near a highway, an airport, two Air Force bases, and train tracks, and I can’t hear any of those things with these ear plugs. They supposedly have less noise reduction (fewer dB) than other ear plugs, but they more than make up for it by fitting so well and actually staying in my ears all night. They conform to my ear canal way better than any other ear plugs that I’ve tried - and I’ve tried all of them - and they stay in way longer. Easy to use, well worth the money, and highly effective

I’vebeen searching for these comfy earplugs that stay put and block all the noise aka my husband’s snoring. Most ep are rubbery and don’t stay in my ear but that do. Love!

Best alternative I've found since Flents changed their pvc foam. Thermal molding is key to pressure free fit. Mack's seem a bit less soft and may let a little more noise through.

Best earplugs currently on Amazon. Due to the flesh colour, if you put them in all the way (your ear canal is far longer than they are), they are hardly noticeable if at all. On top of that, they provide just as much protection as anything else you could use, are comfortable, and, since they're disposable, you never get bacteria building up inside. If you wear them in a not-too-hot environment for only a short time, you can even let them sit overnight and use them again. I'd already been buying them for years but have just signed up for subscribe-and-save.

Horrible in comparison to other Mack's earplug models. This product's title says that the earplugs are made of soft foam, however they are hard to shape into the correct form and when you get them into your ear cannal, they put a lot of pressure and actually hurt you. Would most definitely not recommend this product, especially if you have a rather sensitive ear cannal (like me, apparently).

Great ear plugs. Very comfortable and good price. Highly recommend

Het is mij zeer goed bevallen , de dopjes , dempen veel, heel goed. Voor mij zijn dit de beste oordopjes die ik tot nu toe gebruikt heb . Het zijn wasbaar dopjes en erg zacht en zitten erg prettig . Ik gebruik ze voor diverse dingen zoals Motorrijden ....slapen .....en ze zijn niet zo duur ook !
