Ear plugs

Morning all.
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for ear plugs for small ears?!. DS flexi boards but is quite a light sleeper and if he's put with a snorer it keeps him up! Thanks!

I think Loops come in children’s sizes?

Boots silicon earplugs r a bit like plasticine in that they can b pulled apart and so wd b good for small ears. Very effective for noise reduction. They sometimes need a warm up in your hands for a few seconds to make them more malleable.

I came to recommend loops too. The engage come in kids sizes but the quiets may be better for sleep. Although they're "adult" earplugs the quiets are probably better for sleep. I don't fit standard earplugs due to ridiculously tiny ears but the smallest tips of the loop quiet fit me perfectly.

Loops! They have been an absolute life saver for me with my snoring DH. I have very small ears and they fit me really well. I did experience mild pain the day after for a couple of weeks, but it was very mild and they don't bother me now. I'm a side sleeper and unlike other kinds they are comfortable to lay on.

Thanks so much everyone! Will check them out.

I love my loops. No longer planning way to glue the birds' beaks together during the dawn chorus.

Loops are a game changer

These! Plus cheap and as they come in packs of 12 ( I think), it doesn't matter if some get lost
