After trying other brands that Say they block out sound but Don't, I cannot recommend "Flents Quiet! Please" enough. And of course, the larger the amount you buy, the more you save. Amazon price is miles and miles cheaper than retail. And because you can use the same plugs several times over, that's even more savings!I have used Flents Quiet Please and Quiet Time plugs every night for about a year now. I was, however purchasing the 50 pair tubs of soft purple (which are my current favorite, found here, http://www.amazon.com/Flents-Quiet-Time-Comfort-Plugs/dp/B001F5VDVE/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1351018531&sr=8-6&keywords=ear+plugs) and original creme-colored plugs (http://www.amazon.com/Apothecary-Products-Flents-Please-50-Pair/dp/B001J4HB1C/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1351018484&sr=8-4&keywords=ear+plugs). Both of those plugs roll up nicely, block sound, and are not irritating to the ear after a very long night's sleep.
These, however, are absolutely not up to snuff compared to the creme plugs, and don't even touch the quality of the purple plugs. These plugs expand too fast to insert into your ear with any success. They also are slightly irritating to the ear after more than 8 hours of sleep. I move around in my sleep quite a bit, and these fall out probably twice a week.
While I won't be purchasing these particular earplugs again, I also won't be throwing out the box.
Buy Flents By Apothecary Products, Inc. Flents Quiet Please Noise Reducing Ear Plugs, 200-Count Now
Unlike other reviewers, I did not find these the same as the white,cylinder shaped Quiet Please. The foam is different...more porous. I've been using the white ones for many years...I actually updated my Amazon review because the quality of the white ones (that come in the 50pr container) seemed to have changed over the last couple years...still as effective, but they don't thru as many wearings. I decided to try these (the 200 pk) because they are a major saving. I tried them for one night, sleeping with my windows open (I live in a noisy neighborhood). They were not as effective at blocking out street noise as the whites. Fortunately, Amazon allowed a return the next day (I bought 2X50 of the white ones at the greater cost instead).Don't get me wrong...I'm still giving them 4 stars because they work better and are more comfortable than the other plastic, bullet ones called 'Quiet Time'. In fact these (the hexagonals) might be better in some respects because the white cynanders make you almost too deaf (I don't wear them if I am alone).I have been using the Flents Quiet Please earplugs for a number of years now to deal with snoring. The texture, density and 'squishiness' of these is far superior in both comfort and noise-blocking to any of the others I have tried.
Now, a note about the 200-count box. This is the kind of box you might expect to see at a jobsite. It is a large cardboard box (like a large shoebox) full of individually-plastic-wrapped pairs of plugs. These have a hexagonal cross-section and are not exactly the same as the white Quiet Please plugs that you get in the 50-count containers. However, they work just as well.
The fact that each pair of plugs is individually wrapped is a bit tiresome at bedtime, and the large box doesn't really go with my nightstand, but other than that they are an excellent product.The plug go in easy and stay in! They block out more sound than any others I've ever tried!
