Loop earplugs

Has anybody tried Loop earplugs? Are they worth buying? I'm getting targeted ads and I'm very tempted due to interruped sleep at the moment, but curious that they could be a gimmick?

Same. I thought everyone had similar sized ear canals but apparently mine are too narrow for any ear plugs, wax, foam, silicone, loop. None fit.

These are the only ones that I can wear!

I got some a couple of years ago and they are very good.

Loop fan here ! I have 3 - the ones that cut ambient noise (very useful here where things can get very loud !) but you can still hear conversation; the noise block ones; the sleep ones - I also have tiny canals and sleep on my side, and they are super comfortable. I never travel without them and got the magnetic strings so I can't lost them on a flight or whatever. 🤗

I found them very uncomfortable to sleep in, and they didn’t block out enough noise to sleep well anyway (DH is a snorer) , even the ones designed for sleep. I returned them on their no quibble return policy.

I have had much more success for sleeping with Alpine SleepDeep.

I find them great. They are the only thing that gives me a chance of sleeping through the night and if I forget them when I stay away, it’s a disaster. I now have emergency sets in my car, overnight bag and handbag, just in case.

They take a bit of practice to insert well- you need to get a proper ‘seal’ on them when you twist them in, rather than just inserting them like normal earplugs.

I've just ordered my second pair of Loop Dream, DH and I slept separately for years due to his snoring. I've tried many ear plugs over the years and these were the first ones that worked. We're back to sharing a bed.

I got some as I find I get overstimulated with noise. Great for concerts where the volume is overwhelming. I didn't find them great at letting me hear conversation while blocking the background though. So mixed results.

Really appreciate all of your opinions, thank you! I think I'm going to give them a try, especially now that someone upthread has said there's a no quibble returns policy, thank you @ibizatothenorfolkbroads!
