5.0 out of 5 stars These still work well...but the quality has changed, January 15, 2010

Revised review alert! Below is the review I wrote upon recieving the 50pr container in January (I thought I was getting a good buy)...I had a small box to go through and didn't open and use this order until last week. As another critic said, Flents seems to have changed the quality and not for the better. The good news is that they still are comfortable and block noise as effectively. The bad news is that where as I used to be able to get at least 4 nights wear out of one pair, this new order is barely usable for 2 wearings. I had an older pair that I keep in a travel kit and the difference is noticeable...the new foam is softer and breaks down faster. They are also slightly shorter. Shame on Flents for diminishing the quality of a wonderful product. So much for the good price I thought I was getting. I would rather pay a bit more as the price of consistancy. But having said that, below is my original review:

I've been using Flents Quiet Please Ear Plugs for a few years now...I wish I had known about them years before. They are far better than Hearos, Macks, or even the other Flent earplug styles for noise blocking and comfort. Watch what you buy because Flent's also makes another Quiet Please model(called Ear Stopples) and a plastic foam style called Quiet Time...these are not the same! The only drawback is that they do have to be disposed of within 3-6 uses. But that's not really a big deal. Here are a few usage tips if you have a hard time inserting them:

1)Moisten your ear canal with a few drops of water with one hand while you roll the plug as tightly as possible with the other.
2)Pull you ear away from you head with the opposite hand while you insert the plug.
3)Open you mouth as wide as possible...this seems to help open the canal.
4)Work quickly...the plugs start to expand within seconds. If it doesn't go immediately, don't attempt to stuff in the expanded plug. Re-roll the plug and re-mositen you ear.
5)Don't expect both ear canals to be the same angle. For me, the right one always goes in more easily than the left. Be patient...it may take several tries before you get a sense of the angle of each ear.

I live in a dorm, and it can get extremely noisy very quickly, especially on weekends. I use these to study and to sleep. They are extremely helpful, and I cannot hear much with these, even a roommate tapping away at the keys of her computer. I recommend these to anyone who wants some peace and quiet.

5.0 out of 5 stars These can make theater movies enjoyable, November 22, 2008

These are inexpensive enough to keep some in my pocket for emergencies. I also use them at the theater. Some times the theater likes to jack up the sound to over ride the ambient sound created by the concentrations of minors, at other times movies change volume between music and dialog. These plugs are efficient in insertion and extraction.
