I swim A LOT... and when I started having issues with water in my ears; I finally decided to get ear plugs. I tried a few different kinds with all sorts of issues from water leaking in to taking forever to shape, etc.

These are PERFECT. The case they came in is super handy and has survived my work-out bag which is quite a feat. They super easy to get in and out; they're so comfortable, I've actually forgotten I had them in until someone started talking to me and I realized they were super muffled. No leaking problems or anything. Super easy to work with.

Would highly recommend to anyone that enjoys swimming whether its competitive or just for fun.

I've bought these earplugs for use while swimming before. The first pair lasted through over 1.5 years of regular use (swimming at least 3x a week). The main benefit is that they effectively keep water out of your ears and are comfortable. Some other ear plugs either are leaky or make your ears sore with repeated use. These are one of the better types you can buy.

It works on different size ears and it's comfortable and keeps the water out. If it falls off, the ear plugs floats. It last a long time.

These are the first ear plugs I've been able to wear while swimming and actually focus on my stroke rather than worry about if my ear plugs are going to fall out.

They're comfortable, stay put and keep the water out!

These would probably be fine for someone with normal ear canals, but I seem to have difficulty with any earplugs actually staying in my ears. I was hopeful that these would do the trick, but after a couple of minutes, they too started slipping out. :(

I used the ear plugs to swim and they really protected my ears from water.

the ear plugs are ok. My son and daughter used them. My son, age 14, said they were ok, but my daughter hated them, said they never stayed in.

I'm swimming daily and being using these ear plugs for the last 18 months (maybe longer).
Pros:
Comfort wise - these are the best ear plugs I had - they are soft, will fit well and stay in the ear during (most) swim.
Sometimes it may take about a week to get use to it, so if it heart a little at the beginning, don't worry, it will pass.
Also tying them to each other with a string I put below my cap, so if they pop out of the ear I will not lose them.
No all ear plugs can be tied to each other.
Cons:
Must replace them after no more than 4-5 months of daily usage.
I believed the manufacturer that it will hold for 1 year, but that was wrong.
The ear plugs broke in my ear - the tip broke and stayed in the ear. I had to ask a nurse to pull it out.
It happen twice, every time after about 6 months, so now I'm replacing them every 4 months.
Another con for Amazon is the price. These are (at least) doubled in price than SwimOutlet.
So if you are doing other shopping in SO, better to look for those there (if available).

First, this product delivers TWO pairs (total of 4 plugs) of ear plugs.

Does this product work? Well, it is kinda hard to make a bad earplug. So this product works and it works well.

Is this product comfortable? Yes, it is isn't bad. You will hardly feel it while swimming.

The earplug is not completely soundproof (which is good), so you will be able to listen to SOME ambient noise.

This plug, of course, is not a fashion statement. It doesn't look cool. So if you want a fashionable earplugs, then you should pay more money and buy more expensive ones. From a functional perspective, however, this earplug delivers.

I got these for my son (18mo) because he was getting tubes in his ears and needed to have his ears plugged while swimming. These are really too big for that and kept coming out. So not very good for that age. I ended up using the putty and a swim cap. He got use to it and works great.
