EarPlanesEP2 for Kids by Cirrus Healthcare 1 Reusable Pair (1 Reusable Pair)

I have been using Earplanes for years when traveling. I always get the children's sized, but in the past I've always gotten the standalone version that is only good for one or two round trips. When I saw this version with the carrying case, I thought I'd give it a shot since I was going to be on and off planes multiple times on my most recent trip. It shows these are children's size, and the actual silicone part that goes inside your ear does appear to be the same size as the other children's version; however, there is a hard plastic component that hooks the silicone plug to a base so that you can connect them to the neck strap. Unfortunately this hard plastic plug presses in on your ear canals making your ears super uncomfortable by the end of the hour that you need them in. I tried to see if there was a way to pull the silicone plug out of the hard plastic base, but it looked like it would break off and then it would be hard to grasp to pull back out of your ear. The concept of having them connect to a lanyard/neck strap is great, as is the reusable carrying case, but unfortunately the way in which they are made makes them super uncomfortable for an adult with tiny ear canals. I cannot even imagine a child trying to get these into their ear canals.So, if you like Earplanes and need the children's size DO NOT GET THESE! Continue to get the regular Children's Earplanes that come in 1 or 3 pairs to a pack and just use those. Great concept, but horrible execution.

Allowed my son to have a perfect first flight experience. No ear pain at all for the whole time. Awesome product. Everyone should get there kids these before any flight.

Pleased with my purchase

These worked well and are super easy to keep up with. They are corded and came with a nice plastic case to reuse them. I keep them stored in my personal airplane bag so they are always with me for my daughter on flights.

I bought these for my two year old for her first plane ride. I can't honestly say they worked well or not because they were not in my ears. On a couple flights she seemed fine but on others not at all. I don't know if they were in her ears properly or if the cabin pressure was more intense but that's my reason for three stars. Also, it seemed as if they kept falling out. Again, it could be operator error because I didn't wanna uncomfortably jam them into my toddlers ears but that was my experience,.
