Mack's Dreamgirl Soft Foam Earplugs, 50 Pair, Pink - 30dB NRR, 33dB SNR - Small Ear Plugs for Sleeping, Snoring, Studying, Loud Events, Traveling & Concerts

These earplugs are perfect for someone like me with small ear canals. They’re very soft and cause minimal discomfort. The noise isolation is slightly less effective than regular earplugs, but it’s still good enough for my needs.

The media could not be loaded. I have been using these for the past 5 years now. I tried everything out there and as a female with petite sensitive ears these are so comfortable and work great. The design is very pretty but also very functional. The size is perfect for smaller ears but still great at blocking noise out. If I need to hear a very loud sound it will still let me have the capability of being aware of my surroundings in case of an emergency. Price is unbeatable for the value and the neat little pop open storage container is handy. Easy to pack for travel and holds shape well.

I have now tried 3 types of Mack's earplugs: tan regular, purple slim-fit, and pink dreamgirl. Hopefully this information will help others who are trying to find the right ones:Tan: As shown in the picture below, these are slightly longer and wider than the purple/pink earplugs. Definitely have the absolute best noise reduction, and would work well if you are sleeping with a snorer. However,they are quite painful to wear all night long if your ears are relatively small (like mine). My husband loves these, and they fit him perfectly.Purple: Slightly shorter & narrower than the tan earplugs. They are easier for me to fit in my ear, but they let in slightly more sound. Everything is muffled (think very soft background noise), but not blocked like the tan earplugs. They would probably not completely block a snorer near you, but they would reduce the sound enough to be fairly tolerable (maybe imagine the sound of waves on a beach). These are more comfortable, but they still can make my ears sore by morning.Pink: Same length as the purple, but slightly narrower. Least noise reduction of the 3. Things like neighborhood dogs barking, or a fan in the room become background noise. They would probably be completely ineffective blocking snores. However, if I were a mom of young children, I would be confident that I could hear their cries during the night. They are by far the most comfortable for me.

Used for sleep. Comfortable and blocked a good amount of noise.

I am very sensitive to sound, and I just started dorming and my roommate is incredibly loud and makes this awful noise with her mouth when we are trying to sleep. I have no idea what the hell she is doing, but it ain't snoring. It sounds like she is eating food without closing her mouth, which she does anyways but that's been driving me up the wall.These have saved my roommate from being strangled by me. I was shocked at how much noise they really keep out! I sleep with a fan basically right next to my head on my nightstand and I cannot hear it at all. I can hear doors open and close slightly, but I cannot hear my roommate anymore.Of course I do have trouble putting them in my ear sometimes, but I just have to get the hang of it. My ears are also very small and these fit me really nicely. In the morning I do wake up with my ears just a little sore from the ear plugs, but I can live with that. I can sleep really easily with them in and I can lay on either side and they don't bother me!Small tip is to really squish the tip of the earplug, I mean really squish it till it looks like a mini sword and put it in your ear. That's how it will stay in your ear the entire night and block out as much sound as they can.

great for tiny delicate petite feminine ears

These are small. I bought the Flents Quiet Contour first. Those worked well, but they were way too big for my ears and would fall out of my ears. I could not roll them small enough to fit into my ear canal to form a proper seal. The quality was there, and they were really soft. I really wish that Flents would consider making the exact ear plug in a smaller size. Those had 33 decibel noise reduction.In comparison, The Mack Dream Girls are about 2/3rds the length of the Flents Quiet Contour, and about 1/2th the width of the Quiet Contour. In other words, they are significantly smaller than the Quiet Contour. I was not prepared for how small they would be.I rolled them, flattened them, and stretched them a little, and inserted them. The fit was just okay. They never expanded to form a good seal. Even though the fit was better than the Quiet Contour. Perhaps, I needed to roll them more and insert them further into my ear canal, but I was afraid to do that because they were so short. I was afraid that it would get lost in ear canal.Also, these are not as soft as the Flents. The maximum noise reduction on the Dream Girls, if properly inserted was 30 decibel. Overall, I do think that these would work better if there were slightly more length and girth to them.I will definitely use them, but I ordered Mack Slim Fit to compare to see if I like those better.

These aren't bad, just weirdly small. I know I got size small but they're pretty tiny, still fit though. They aren't crazy thick so while they do block most noise, loud sounds are still easy to hear.
