Flents Ear Stopples Soft Wax Cotton Ear Plugs, 50 Pair, Bulk Packaging with a Flents Green Case to C

I've been using wax earplugs during sleep for decades. First were the dense, pink Sleepwell brand, which were mostly wax with just enough cotton to hold them together; these were absolutely fantastic, but that old-fashioned company went out of business in the 1980's. I then switched to Flents, which had significantly less wax than the Sleepwell, and didn't seal up or insulate sound nearly as well as the Sleepwell brand; nevertheless, they were adequate, and I got used to them. Now, I've recently ordered some "new" Flents (now made in Switzerland), since my supply of "old" ones (made in the U.S.) finally ran out. What a let-down the "new" Flents are! Truly horrible! Much, much less wax than the old Flents; in fact, they are mostly cotton, with just a little wax mixed in. Indeed, using them is almost, but not quite, like stuffing a cotton ball in one's ear; they don't seal well at all, and they don't stop noise nearly as well as the "old" Flents. The current poor quality makes me wonder if anyone at Flents has even used their own products, for even at their best, "old" Flents were no match for Sleepwell, and the "new" Flents are nearly useless!

The German wax plugs (Ohropax) available from Amazon have lots more wax and work much better, as do the French wax plugs (Boules Quies, also via Amazon), though BOTH of these brands are a bit on the small side for my taste (and a bit expensive, too). I've also tried the white plugs sold on Amazon by Apex Healthcare Products; not enough wax, and they are horrible, long things that snake deep into ones ears. Don't even consider the silicone type, as they are just hard blobs that can't be made to fit one's ear, and forget the foam, too, as they are always trying to expand, and thus press on the ear canal causing great pain after a few hours.

First, to be clear, I don't know if the problem is this specific package of earplugs I received or if the quality of Flents ear plugs has really tanked. It's been about 2 years since I last bought any. More than half the earplugs are unusable because they have almost no wax, meaning that when shaped they compact to a small hard ball. You can even see the difference in the color between those with sufficient wax and those without. I didn't attempt to return them, not worth enough for the hassle. The third or so that I can use are smaller than the previous ones I purchased. I still had some of the old ones for comparison. I'm going to try buying more from another seller and will try to post as to the quality.

Over the years I have tried a number of ear plugs live in the city and need to cut out noise. This is the only one

that both shuts the noise out but also is comfortable. I find that they work best if you cut them in half crosswise (i.e. left to right). Trying to put a whole one in doesn't work as it is too big. They last a long time but eventually you will need to throw them out and use a new pair.

I really dislike putting anything into my ears, but sometimes it is a better alternative to a sleepless night or losing valuable hearing in loud acoustics.

My skin is sensitive to latex, hard plastic is out of the question, once had some paper plugs covered in a very thin layer of plastic which worked well but broke down quickly...finally my girlfriend turned me on to Flents Stopples. Now I carry them wherever I go! Concerts where the sound level is too loud...stopples. Noisy street sounds in foreign countries...stopples. Snoring partner...stopples. They can be cut in half and work well for smaller ears too. Highly recommend these earplugs.
