Very good.
I have tried several different earplugs, but these are definitely the best to date. I need to use them all the time , great value for money, comfortable and do the job.

I can't hear you
Very good ear plugs. Stay in without a head cap and so far have helped stop my son from getting ear infections from swimming so well worth the money. Each pair lasts about 10 uses before degradation.

Does what it says
Really easy to use and fab for keeping the water out. But you need to use something to hold them in-we used the headband and swim hat (as the headband was a bit big)

Swimmer’s ear super product
As a survivor of recurrent swimmer’s ear, I’m so glad I found these. They’re comfortable and obviously fit perfectly because you mould them yourself. They come with a little carry case, and there are three sets per pack, which makes them excellent value for money. You could actually get more out of the pack - on holiday my dad started getting blocked ears. I’d got a fresh pair of these with me, so I gave him one and I used the other one - we each split the one in two - and it was plenty for both of us. So you could probably get six sets out of a pack, unless you have excessively massive ear canals. They stay in your ear really well, and don’t let any water through once properly inserted.

Cannot be worn with swimming cap!
My daughter tried these for the first time yesterday. Having followed the instructions to insert the ear plugs She said she felt the water was beginning to penetrate the seal after a few lengths so she got out of the pool and changed back to her usual silicone earplugs. Also we were concerned that the pack said they were not suitable to be worn with swimming caps which are compulsory at our local pool. We will try these again as they were recommended highly by a friend but first impressions not great

Brilliant product and protects my tot's grommets
I much prefer these Putty Buddies to similar on the market. Delivery was exceptional and item arrived undamaged. I've been using this to protect my toddler's grommets during swimming and bathtime. I've also been using them to block out my partner's horrendous snoring. I find these less messy and more comfortable than other brands. They last a few uses before you need to throw them away, and so the mini tub is convenient to store pieces as needed. I have found these invaluable, and although I'd like a better price, it does the job for my tot and me. Just be careful not to squish this in the ear too much, and also avoid the hairline as the putty is a little sticky. However, my tot definitely prefers these putty buddies as He doesn't complain when I insert them. I haven't squashed these into the ear too much but it still provides great protection. However, it can also fall out if you don't mould these into the ear enough. Bit of a balancing act but a wonderful product once you know how!

Great for swimming to help prevent ear infections
purchased these as i have an autistic child who is a huge lover of water, over the summer she was spending alot of time in the sea or pool and began to experience pain which then turned in to an ear infection. i was advised to limit her access to water for a few weeks and put cotton wool in her ear going forward then i saw these advertised and thought they looked they could help especially because she was so eager to get back in the water. I wasn't sure she'd wear them at first as she has a lot of sensory issues but she very willingly allowed me to put them in and wore them for a whole hour in the sea and has been using them each time she goes swimming since then (around 4 months!) and had no further issues with pain or infection

Perfect for little wars for swim lessons
Bought these for my sons swim lessons as he struggles with earache and doesn’t like water getting in them. There work great and fit perfectly in his ears, don’t let any water in and comfortable for him to wear. The only thing is that because they fit so well is that he does struggle to hear properly but that’s better than not working. Are great value and would buy again.

My kids (2 and 7-years-old) love to use the bath as their own personal swimming pool and “Putty Buddies” work great. I had to separate them in half to mold better to their little ears. I tried them out first on myself before using them for my kids. The first application was somewhat challenging for me, because I didn’t cover all the outer ear openings and water seeped into my ear. But upon my second try, I made sure to snugly cover all outer ear openings and they kept all the water out - Perfectly. Removal was easy, I just pushed on the back of their ear and they 'popped' right out. And, the “Bonzai Bear” carrying case was a nice bonus to store them in. We will be using them often for swimming lessons and bath time. Overall, I appreciate that they are durable, great quality (other brands we tried didn’t fit as well and keep the water out), affordable price, bright colors, fun application, comfortable, awesome performance (i.e. they stayed in place), and easy removal. Great accessory for my entire family and I am impressed!

Pieces of the silicon went inside my child’s ear and caused an issue.

Putty Buddies ear plugs have been a game-changer for my kids' swimming experience! These soft silicone ear plugs are easy to mold and fit comfortably in their ears, providing a secure seal that keeps water out. I appreciate the bright colors that make it easy to see if the plugs are still in place, and my kids love the cute cartoon characters on the carrying case. Since using Putty Buddies, my children have had zero issues with swimmer's ear, and they're much more confident in the water. The ear plugs are durable and easy to clean, which is a huge plus. I highly recommend these to any parent looking for a reliable and fun solution to protect their kids' ears while swimming!

The best ear putty on the market! We have tried most of the brands and are never without this ear putty for our daughter who has grommets. Easy to use, flexible and can be reused.
