Re: How do I get earplugs to stay in my ears?!!
A slightly less (!) permanent solution might be to try a balaclava. Your lid should slip over it rather than catch on the plugs.
Have to say though that it does sound like the plugs are not in far enough as mine don't stick out to get knocked by the lid as it goes on...

Rolling the plugs between finger and thumb to 'thin' them and then lick before putting in your ear, once inserted, gently hold until they've expanded properly, they should then be quite snug.
If you want bog standard, the try Howard Leight. Mucho cheapness on ebay. |

Re: How do I get earplugs to stay in my ears?!!
Right! I've been experimenting, and I've worked out that If I roll them well, and shove them in hard and fast, then they seem to go in much further than before and blocks out things much better! Didnt realise they could go in that far at all!
Many thanks fellas! |

it takes at least a minute or 2 for the plugs to expand out fully. make sure that you hold them inplace after you've inserted them. I found that if i put them on in a rush and don't hold them inplace they expand and push there way out.

Re: How do I get earplugs to stay in my ears?
I have 3 types, with the yellow foam ones and I snip a few mm off the length and they still work fine.
Or try these: http://www.boots.com/en/BioEars-Soft...3-pairs_39424/ Or these: http://www.earplugshop.com/shopping/...pine/motosafe/ I have the same problem with headphones - if I go for a run they don't stay in my ears so I either have to wear my massive DJ style headphones and get sweaty ears, or put plasters over my ears ones the earphones are in. Either way I look like a mad person running about. |
