Alpine SleepSoft Ear Plugs for Sleep - Ultra Soft Filter for Side Sleeper - Reduce Noises & Improve Sleep - Reusable, Hygienic, Hypoallergenic Hearing Protection for Adults with Long Lasting Comfort

Have used Alpine ear plugs at night for several years, this most recent design seems more comfortable and more effective than previous models. Doesn’t totally stop noise but is good enough that noise doesn’t interfere with my sleep. Easy to put in, easy to remove.

Great, soft and very comfortable ear plugs. If pushed far enough into the ear, local sounds can be heard when awake, but when asleep sounds are not heard, ensuring better quality undisturbed sleep from snoring or noisy children 😊.Small case they come with is really helpful to prevent loss. Easy to clean and put away in the case.

I recently tried these earplugs for sleep and found them to be quite comfortable and effective, especially if the noise source is in a different room. I had no trouble sleeping on my side, even with multiple piercings, including a conch, which can be an issue with other earplugs that push on them. However, if your partner is a loud snorer and is in the same room, these earplugs will not block out the noise completely. They do reduce the sound slightly, which can help you fall asleep due to the quieter environment, but after a week, the snoring becomes the new normal, and I find myself struggling to sleep again. I’ll continue to use these as a spare pair or when my partner happens to fall asleep after I do, but for snoring-heavy nights, they aren’t a perfect solution.

I bought these earplugs as I have insomnia and have trouble sleeping through loud noises like fast cars/motorbikes and even quieter noises like rainfall. However, I also use an alarm each morning..the Alpine website recommends these earplugs for that exact purpose, 'Noises such as your alarm clock, doorbell or children can still be heard.' They also claim to be 'Very comfortable due to soft AlpineThermoShape™ material'. The earplugs also have a 'minigrip' feature so that you can easily remove them from your ears, and they also claim to be 'especially designed for (side) sleepers.'I have worn these earplugs for three nights and firstly I must say they are very good at cancelling out noise, some very loud noises can still be heard but not enough to disturb you. However, that's about as good as they get. I could hear my alarm but not enough to wake me up fully so I would not recommended you buy these for that purpose. Mainly I did not find them comfortable enough for sleeping. I am a side sleeper and the minigrip feature was very uncomfortable, they stuck out of my ears too much and pushed against the pillow which lead to me trying to find a comfortable position for a while which was irritating. Although the feature does make it easy to remove the plugs so I would say they would be very practical for day time use but I personally definitely wouldn't recommend them for bed. Maybe a bit of a rebrand is needed? For earplugs called 'sleepsoft' you would expect them to be perfect for sleeping. I'll stick to my regular and much cheaper foam earplugs for the night time as they don't stick out of my ears and I can turn from side to side with no disruptions.

Well I will start off by saying that these were recommended as number 1 on three different websites that I looked at - and even though I have never paid this much for earplugs before I was pretty happy that it was a decent buy.However firstly - they provide NO noise blockage, if I can be three rooms away wearing earplugs and STILL hear the TV and have a conversation about it there is a problem!Secondly - the way they work is that you screw them into your ears, not knowing how far you have actually gone in. DANGEROUS. Not to mention Downright painful if laid upon, so forget sleeping with them in.Pair that with lack of clear instructions and the "cleaning aid" simply being a pointy stick, massive waste of money - now I just have sore ears and a suspicion that this may be a fake item - since why would it be rated number 1 if it is so bad?Trying to get a refund...not looking good.UPDATE AFTER SPEAKING TO THE SELLER:Apparently my ear is too big for them, which is why why don't work - I tried these because my ears were too small for all the foam ones!Very rude and short person! I really wish I could give below 0
