Clearly I’m desperate. One of these HAS to work. I didn’t know which one to buy, so I spent $30 and for five different kinds. All I know is those big fat beige ones hurt my ears.
Seems every one is different and reviews weren’t very helpful, but I thought these side-by-side comparisons might help someone only have to buy one instead of five!
UPDATE 9-11-2019 Mack's Dreamgirl Soft Foam were the ones for me. The purple ones were small and seemed hard. The green ones were too big and hurt. The other pink ones were "okay."

Tan: As shown in the picture below, these are slightly longer and wider than the purple/pink earplugs. Definitely have the absolute best noise reduction, and would work well if you are sleeping with a snorer. However,they are quite painful to wear all night long if your ears are relatively small (like mine). My husband loves these, and they fit him perfectly.
Purple: Slightly shorter & narrower than the tan earplugs. They are easier for me to fit in my ear, but they let in slightly more sound. Everything is muffled (think very soft background noise), but not blocked like the tan earplugs. They would probably not completely block a snorer near you, but they would reduce the sound enough to be fairly tolerable (maybe imagine the sound of waves on a beach). These are more comfortable, but they still can make my ears sore by morning.
Pink: Same length as the purple, but slightly narrower. Least noise reduction of the 3. Things like neighborhood dogs barking, or a fan in the room become background noise. They would probably be completely ineffective blocking snores. However, if I were a mom of young children, I would be confident that I could hear their cries during the night. They are by far the most comfortable for me.

Pink, purple, or tan?

I have now tried 3 types of Mack's earplugs: tan regular, purple slim-fit, and pink dreamgirl. Hopefully this information will help others who are trying to find the right ones:By MJCali69 on June 4, 2015
