Additional Information
- Only handle the silicone with clean dry hands.
- Avoid touching the silicone with oily/dirty hands or bringing them into contact with lotions, oils, hair and other oil-based substances.
- Make sure the user's ear is clean, dry and free from wax/oils prior to placing the ear plugs over the ear canal.
- Make sure the plug does not have any cracks or folds prior to placement over the ear canal.
- If it does, roll the plug between your fingers until the surface is smooth and uniform.
- Flatten the plug into a disk, place over the ear canal and pressed gently on the plug in a direction outward from the ear canal to "lock" the silicone into the outer cartilage of the ear.
- To remove the ear plug, grab the ear lobe w/ thumb on the back of the earlobe and fingers on the front of the ear lobe. Push/pull up and down several times.
- This should ensure that the silicone dislodges easily in one uniform piece from the ear without leaving residue behind.
- Once removed, store the ear plugs in the plastic container (covered)until further use.
- The Putty Buddies ear plugs should be discarded once they become dirty in appearance or if they appear to be cracked or coming apart.
- This should be 1-2 weeks with daily use if handled with clean dry hands.

4 out of 5 Ear buddies
Newitts Verified Purchase (13 Feb 2020)
Following a perforation needed to keep ears dry in shower/hairwashing. Buddies are excellent and with a bandit at the healing time very successful. I only sent for one pack to try so postage was excessive for this tiny pack. Guess large quantities would better. It was a tiny box in a huge bag. Arrived very quickly though. Would and have recommended.

Newitts Verified Purchase (1 Sep 2016)
I used to order these from the USA and when I came across them on this site for that price .... I couldn't believe it! AMAZING!!! I have to use ear plugs everyday, my ENT recommend me to use this kind as they are soft and are truly great quality! I used to by the clear ones but found the Flotec ones better and last much longer!

I buy these ear plugs for my grandson to wear along with his Ear Band-It head band to prevent water ingress into his ears as he has perforated ear drums at present.

5 out of 5 Excellent
Newitts Verified Purchase (9 May 2016)
I have purchased loads of these ear buddies for my 7year old Daughter, after she experienced yet another troublesome ear infection, due to having grommets. They really helped a very very keen swimmer, to continue the sport she enjoys. My daughter found them very easy to use, and could still hear instructions, well done ear buddies, they even stayed in place whilst diving. I would recommended these to anyone. Thank-you.

Newitts Verified Purchase (14 Apr 2016)
The ear plugs I bought for my son work wonders. Not only do we use them for swimming to protect his ears we also use them to block out noise. My son is autistic and can't deal with busy loud noises, these work a treat.

Newitts Verified Purchase (29 Feb 2016)
Great product that stays in the ear. My son has a grommit and so used these ear plugs while at the swimming pool, it stayed in for the whole 1 and a half hours. He also uses it for bath time which is also great. Thanks

I started using these and I cannot recommend these enough. They seal your ear keeping it dry. Mine stayed in my ear and are still pliable today. I have ordered two more pairs as I wanted variety to go with my swimsuit!!!

5 out of 5 Ear putty
Newitts Verified Purchase (11 Sep 2015)
I have ridiculously small outer ear canals, which means that most ear plugs become extremely uncomfortable, very quickly. But I'm also a very light sleeper, so this ear putty is absolutely brilliant for blocking out louder sounds that stop me sleeping - I don't know what I'd do without it!

3 out of 5 Good but sticky

3 out of 5 Not exactly what I was looking for
Newitts Verified Purchase (22 Sep 2014)
My 9-year old had a grommet fitted in so I bought a pair of these. It's like play-dough so it does stick to hair, can also break off in bits and get dirty (not possible to clean it). The good thing is that it's moldable, but still it sometimes slips out when it gets wet.

Newitts Verified Purchase (5 Sep 2014)
Having gone through pain (literally) of ear infections whilst abroad on holiday we decided to give these earplugs and the ear band-it bands a go and haven't looked back. A must for any kids who love to swim, dive and jump in. Highly recommended and great service from Newitts. :)

4 out of 5 Mrs
Newitts Verified Purchase (5 Jun 2014)
I was very unsure when I purchased the first two pairs. At first, I felt it awkward to get it in place as it often stuck to my finger. The plus side, they don't hurt the ears and my 4yr old grandson can put his own one "in".

My son wouldn't go swimming before he got these, now he has no problems! They stay in really well, though we use the band just as extra security. Would certainly recommend! Easy to fit and to remove. Fantastic!

5 out of 5 fantastic earplugs
Newitts Verified Purchase (30 Aug 2013)
Excellent product. Fit is perfect as you mould them to completely in the ear unlike other silicone earplugs. The only problem we had is that sometimes it got bits stuck in my daughter's hair but it really isn't a problem as they do exactly what they are meant to.
-
5 out of 5 Great
Newitts Verified Purchase (22 Aug 2013)
My daughter (3) loves swimming, but she is quit prone to ear infections. After searching shops for some ear plugs for her and not finding any I came across these online and they are great. They fit into her ears really well, but as they are putty-like would also fit in a bigger ear. Because they are brightly coloured she likes them & they would be easy to find if they fell out in the pool, but they have never fallen out anyway. We have two pairs now after I lost our first pair. Would definitley recommend.

5 out of 5 Ear Bandit Ear Plugs
Have been using these along with the headband for the past 4 years. These are very very good and we find that other ear plugs are not as effective. Daughter loves the colours and the little pot they come in is handy to pop in your pocket. She has been able to swim twice a week without any problems and without these that would not have been possible.

5 out of 5 Brilliant!

5 out of 5 An excellent water resistant ear plug
Newitts Verified Purchase (8 Jun 2013)
An excellent product used by my daughter for synchronised swimming. They are the only ear plugs that we have any confidence in and were recommended by her ENT consultant. Without them she would be unable to participate in this challenging sport.
-
5 out of 5 very good product
Newitts Verified Purchase (27 May 2013)
Bought these for my 4 year old daughter who always has ear trouble after swimming. Free postage and only £1.50. Come in a small case in one piece like a small ball of play dough. Mould into ears and work perfectly my daughter has had no ear trouble at all since using these. All in all you can't really go wrong at the price

5 out of 5 Fantastic ear buddies
Newitts Verified Purchase (24 May 2013)
My 4 year old daughter had gromits and having done swim lessons since she was 2 we didn't want her to have to give up. I was going to pay for ear moulds at £65 but thought I'd try these 1st. My daughter put them in herself and removes them herself and is so happy wearing them. She didn't wear the bandit as it interfered with her goggles but the plugs don't let anything in so they are ok on their own. She jumps in, dives under and is fine. The only thing is to make sure hair is tied and clipped back as otherwise small strands of hair stick to the plugs and this can make removing the plugs a little painful as you pull hair. Now she has her hair clipped back she never ever complains and always does them herself. The plugs are good for about 1-2 months but I then change them as I figure they may be getting dirty. Still cheaper than paying for moulds even if you change them after every use!
