Slim Fit Foam Earplugs

These are the only earplugs I consistently buy. The regular size is uncomfortable for me, but the slim version fits much better without causing pressure. They stay in place through the night and do a good job blocking noise for sleep. My 15-year-old daughter uses them as well and finds them comfortable. They’re very soft and mold easily to your ear.

I seriously don’t know how I ever lived without Mack’s Ear Plugs. These little guys are life savers. Whether I’m dealing with snoring, loud neighbors, or just trying to get solid sleep while traveling, Mack’s delivers every single time. They’re super soft, easy to roll and insert, and once they’re in, pure silence. No discomfort, no slipping out in the middle of the night, and no weird pressure feeling like some other brands. Just a comfortable, quiet escape from the chaos. I also use them on flights and at hotels, and they block out everything from engine noise to hallway chatter. I’m a light sleeper, and these earplugs have completely transformed my ability to rest. If you’re on the fence, get them. They’re affordable, reliable, and I always keep a pair on my nightstand and in my carry-on. Total essential.

A life saver! They block out my roommate’s insufferable snoring night after night, are a better size than most. My only issue is that my ears must be mini-sized, because even these were too big for me and stuck out, yet hurt to push further in. My roommate helped me by cutting the ends and down the sides so they’re the slightest bit slimmer, and shorter. Don’t worry, we make sure they won’t get stuck in my ears! The downside? They hurt my ears even when adjusted, if I wear them for longer than 6-7 hours. I’ll wake up with throbbing ear pain and once even had the left inner ear canal swell up painfully. Probably from having them not be small enough or just wearing them for too long. All in all, I have tried many kinds of earplugs before these and these are the only ones that not only block out enough sound, but fit once adjusted/trimmed. Despite some of them also being too hard/new in the container, they work.

I apparently have very narrow ear canals. I sleep with ear plugs every night (my husband snores) and it has been very difficult to find ear plugs that I don’t pull out in my sleep or make my ears hurt. These do not hurt at all! No irritation to my skin, no soreness, comfortable for laying on my side. These cancel noise well, about the same as other foam earplugs. I can still hear very loud noises but they dampen background sound enough that I typically sleep soundly.

Highly recommend trying these if you have struggled with foam earplugs. As an older guy I've struggled for decades with foam earplugs (for shipyards, powerplants, cutting the lawn, shop work, etc.), and was thrilled when a relative gave me a pair of these to try. Recently I've taken to using them at night and when at the gym (with a bone conduction headset). Even as slim fits it's still slightly convoluted for me to get them well inserted (and they come out "bent"), but once fully inserted (which I apparently could never do with ALL the other earplugs I've tried) it's staggering how effective and comfortable they are. In my decades of using hearing protection I'd not realized quite how effective this type could be when they're really fitted well. At night all the ambient noises are completely gone - no doors opening/closing, spouse snoring, kitchen noises, TV, etc. And I find them exceedingly comfortable and they stay in all night, with no driving desire in the AM to pull them out.

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!

I’m loving these. I think I have a smaller ear canal so they feel so much better than standard ear plugs!! I also bought the #1 rates Loop ear plugs and I like these Mack ones much better. More custom fit, more comfortable, good value for money.

This size ear plug works perfectly for me. Others I have tried are uncomfortable and are hard to position properly in my ear canals. These squish down to just the thinnest sliver, slide in and then mold to my ear shape comfortably. I’ve been using this size for years and am very happy with this product.

Gênée la nuit par des bruits de voisinage, j'ai enfin trouvé des bouchons d'oreille efficaces et non douloureux. Avec d'autres marques, ce n'était plus le bruit mais la douleur qui me réveillait. Les Mack's violets sont parfaits pour les conduits d'oreille étroits et ils tiennent parfaitement, à condition de bien les positionner (en tirant l'oreille vers l'arrière et vers le bas lors de l'introduction). Je les utilise depuis 2 ans, environ une paire par semaine. Les bouchons d'une même boite ont une texture parfois un peu différente (plus mou ou plus dur) mais cela ne change rien à leur efficacité. Je recommande vivement!

It helps me sleep better, drowning out the noise around me.

Muito bom. Bloqueia o som e é confortável. O melhor protetor auricular de espuma que já comprei. Recomendo.

After trying many types of ear plugs for motorcycling, these are by far the best. The size and soft foam makes for a very comfortable ride, even for several hours without removal. Other types of plugs simply don't do much (the "tuned" ones), are too uncomfortable or even give me a headache after long rides. These are near perfect, keeping wind noise to a minimum (I have tinnitus and the wind noise can drive me a bit nuts a few hours into a ride) and comfortable enough to completely forget them and just enjoy the ride.

المنتج مناسب جدا للناس اللى قناة الاذن بتاعته ضيقة ... مش نفس عزل البيج لكن مريحة جدا عنها.
