Affordable, and the black earplugs are indiscreet!

These do not come individually wrapped, so I used a small plastic box I found at Dollar Tree to keep a pair in my purse for when I am at places with loud sounds or loud music that I need to protect my ears. I like that they are black so not noticeable.

Tells the train to shut up. Works on in laws, too.

They do what they're supposed to and do it very well. You can still hear, but it's all muffled and faint. You can even sleep through that @%26%!! train guy who thinks his horn is some bizarre love call or something...at 3:00 am. and 4:30 am.

These are extra soft and fit well in my small ears. I wear when using noisy outdoor power tools and keep extra in my car for loud sporting events and concerts. Trying to protect my hearing!

Foam Earplugs, 32dB Noise Reduction

These ear plugs work ok. We think we like the silicon ear plugs better. To use them just squezz them and then place them in your ear and let them expand. They work good on the higher notes of sound.

Great Purchase!! 😁

I bought these for my husband to show him that the black ones work too. He didn't believe me in the store. Now he loves them. They were a great purchase!! 😁

My husband snores a lot and very LOUD! In pure desperation while shopping and in need of a good nights sleep, I picked these up from Walmart and though I could still hear him slightly, I was able to sleep very well. I realize later that I didn't put them in correctly and once I learned how to put them in there correctly without coming too close to my eardrum, i don't hear my husband snore at all ! Best impromptu purchase I've ever made LOL

I was getting the smaller bag of these peppermint candies fairly often which didn't make sense so I opted for the larger bag. The have natural peppermint in them (some others don't) and are good for what they are. The mint herbs have medicinal qualities to them which is the reason I bought them in the first place. This Great Value hard candy is something I'll buy again, unlike Walmarts cinnamon or butterscotch ones.

Block Sound Well. Not Comfortable.

I am a male in my 40's and these ear plugs seem to be too large for my ear canals. They block out the noise very well and would be good for loud concerts. However, they put too much pressure on the walls of my ear canals which makes it difficult to sleep with them in. If you tend to have normal-sized or small ear canals, I would recommend looking for smaller ear plugs. I used to use ear plugs that were marketed to women and the smaller size fit perfectly for comfortable sleep.

Does Not Block Noise Well

These do not work well at all for keeping out noise. They are very soft and comfortable but I wouldn't recommend them if you're trying to drown out noise

They don't work!

I use earplugs to sleep at night because my husband snores and our heat/AC is loud, and these earplugs did nothing. I could hear everything plain as day.
