Very cool product and a must for kids with ear tubes who love water. Nice and light (I was a little nervous it would be too thick and heavy feeling). BUT BEWARE: the sizing guide is off. My daughter has a 19" head, and since that's right in the middle of the medium range (17-21"), we figured that was safe. Nope. We have to synch it ALL the way...so that just the tiniest bit of velcro is holding it shut and a long piece is left flapping off the back...and even then it's not quite snug enough. To put it in further perspective, a medium fits ME with room to spare (my head measure 22.5"). We will definitely be exchanging it for a small...

I ordered these for my boys (4 and 2.5). They both have tubes and wear ear plugs during swim. The Ear Band-It's give an added comfort that water will not enter the ear canal. The boys thought they were great. I ordered these on New Year's Day and received them BEFORE the delivery expectation. Thank You!

My 7yr old is prone to ear infections and needs to wear ear plugs when swimming, We bought this for her to help hold the sillicone ear plugs in place (she can't stand the feel of anything in her ear canal) and it works great. My only complaint is that we bought a medium band and it's *almost* too big for her. It fits me just fine. I think we should have gone with a small for a slightly better fit, but at least she will be able to get many years of use out of this one.

This product works great for my son with ear tubes. We use it in the bath and haven't had any problems with water getting in his ears.

I have tried just about everything in my goal of keeping my hair out of my eyes when I swim. I don't care about keeping my hair dry. I have short hair. I have tried regular headbands but they make my head hurt. The light lycra caps do a comparable job to this band but a person looks terrible in them. This product is the only hair gear I've found that does the job while adding virtually no weight and letting you look OK to boot. It also does not make my head hurt no matter how long I wear it.

I have never had problems caused by water getting into my ears. If that is your concern, you may have to be fussier about the fit than I was. I bought an Adult sized band and it did the job of keeping my hair out of my eyes. The band does slip a bit but that doesn't affect keeping the hair out of my eyes. To keep water out of the ears, I suspect you would need a much more precise fit than I sought.

My son has had several ear surgeries, and has experienced hearing problems. His surgeon recommended the Ear Band-it. We were given the first Ear Band-It at his office, and subsequently purchased another set here at Amazon. The first set was wonderful, but after daily use at the pool needed to be replaced after about 3 weeks. The band stretched out, and would fall down frequently. The band is made of a neoprene substance and the ear plugs are made of a putty-like substance. When they are both worn together, they do a great job of keeping water out of the ears.

I swim A LOT. I get swimmer's ear often and this product has helped keep water out of my ears-it also helps keep my waterproof headphones in.

They work great with the ear plugs we had made and it's comfortable for them to wear! I was a little concerned about size but the medium works great for my 2 year old.

My son (2) has had ear tubes since April and we have been swimming several times over the summer. The band works great and usually stays on as long as I have it on in the right position. We have a small now and will probably be ordering a medium here soon as his head is growing out of it. He likes to wear it too!! He's the one that reminds me if I forget. We also use it with the putty buddies ear plugs which he doesn't mind either. We love it.!!

We use earplugs underneath the headband. The headband keeps water out and also keeps our baby from taking out his earplugs. Product is so simple that it doesn't merit a longer review.
