work great for kids with P.E. tubes

Comments about Jaco Enterprises Putty Buddies Swimmer's Ear Plugs 3-pack:
We use these for the bath nightly with my 15-month old since she has tubes in her ears. These are way better than the plastic ones we got from the ENT. They are soft and flexible, so they are gentle to put in. If she pulls them out, the bright colors can easily be retrieved from the bath tub. We are planning on using them for swimming this summer as well.
Great Back Up to Custom Ear Plugs
By AP

My child has tubes in her ears and needs to wear earplugs when bathing and swimming. This product is ideal as a back up when we can't find her custom earplugs. The putty molds perfectly to the ear and it's easy to remove with little mess unless its hot outside - then be sure to take them out and put them in a cool place for storage.

About Me Grandparent
Out of all the ear plugs I have found on the market these are the most effective and easy to use. They conform to the ear. A definite plus is the ability for our grandchild to hear while wearing these. This is now my second purchase with extras in my purse. For my grandchild with ear canals swimming is now not an issue.
Great product

Very easy to use. Daughter does not mind having them in. Keeps her ears nice and dry!
Best earplugs EVER!
By Higs6

My daughter had tubes put in her ears and would not cooperate to have earplugs made. I was forced to use the clear gummy earplugs and she hated putting them in her ears. These earplugs are SOOO soft and mold nicely to the ear.
Great ear plugs for children

About Me First Time Parent
We used the ear plugs for swim class, they were easy to put in my son's ears and never fell out. They also kept his ears dry. He had tubes put in his ears and plugs are the only way to keep his ear drums dry.
Best ear plugs

These ear plugs are the best out there. I tried some from a drug store and my son cried every time I put them in. These are much softer and easier to work with. I also like the head band.

This product has stop trips to the drs for ear infections caused by swimmers ear! My grand kids swimm everyday and this has been a godsend for all of them! My 9yr old granddaughter even told her friends to tell their moms to get some.

I keep these in my swim bag for when we go swimming and for an extra pair, in case we lose a pair.

Putty Buddies are awesome! Our ENT gave us a pair and now we use them with the Ear Band-It, as our youngest just had tubes put in. They work very well and are much easier to use than anything else we've tried. Our son is only a year old, so we divide one "ball" into two and they're the perfect size for his little ears.
AWESOME

These work great...first time we used them our two year old grand daughter was happy! The "earmolds" from the ENT...that were MUCH more expensive...she would fuss and say they "hurt"! Easy to use and extremely effective.
Great Product

These ears plugs are very effective and with the ear band, my son can swim without worrying about getting water in his ears
Works great!

My son struggled to keep the Doc Pro Plugs his ENT recommended in his ears to swim. The putty is great! He can even hear when the putty and the strap are in and around his ears for his swim lessons!
Putty Buddies - We love them
By Lily's Mom

I split 1 of these in half and put half in each ear of my daughter for bath time or for swimming. I am worried about ear aches or infections because I had horrible swimmers ear as a child. We used something similar to these back then and I was so glad to find these here. They are great and my daughter laughs when I put them in her ears. (She is 20 months)
Has made life easier
By Fran

I purchased other silcone ear plugs and they just were not as easy to use. For 3 months since her ear tube surgery we were using regular ear plugs that i purchased at the doctors office for $20 each set. I came to the point where the regular ear plugs were not fitting in correctly and it was creating a problem. With the start of summer camp and the camp already misplacing her ear gear, i decided to purchase more ear bands and the silcone ear plugs. They are easier to use...only draw back is her hair gets stuck to the plugs and the color silcone pieces are in her hair....
