I had to give up swimming a few years ago due to constant earaches. I'd tried a few different types of earplugs but none of them stopped it happening. I thought I'd give it one more go and decided to pay a bit more money than I had previously, hoping that they might work. I'm delighted to say they have! They're easy to use and never fall out, I've been swimming several times now with no issues. Would definitely recommend.

First of all, great customer service with good follow up service.
Secondly, I have tried every type of ear plug. Normal, industrial, wax you name it. All work to a degree but don’t block out snoring noise.
Lastly, your ear plugs blocked my wife’s incessant snoring from the start so I am very happy to have a nights sleep without interruption.
Thank You Bollsen.
I have previously tried foam earplugs that left my ears dry, sore and bleeding. I have quite small ears and they fit great for me. They don’t eliminate all noise but definitely minimise sounds. As a side sleeper I only need to put 1 in every night and I can still wake up to my alarm every morning and they are exactly what I need. I have just placed my second order for these earplugs as they have helped me finally sleep through the night beside my snoring partner and for £40.00 for 2 pairs it’s great value for money.
Ive tried loads of different ear plugs for sleeping with through the years and theyve either fell out during the night or hurt my ears. These stay in for the duration of the night and are very comfortable
Edit, customer service was hood I returned product and received a full refund, I don’t rate the product but after service is good
I purchased these for a holiday where I was sharing a room with a snorer. I only wanted 1 pair but the clever marketing convinced me to get a second. Well I put them in exactly as per the instructions and they don’t block out so much as a whisper. £35 I expected much more I’m bitterly disappointed and feel scammed

Hi Good People at Bollsen,
I just wanted to let you know I have been using the small size ear plugs for about a year now.
I was really worried when my husband started snoring heavily and I became extra sensitive to any noise. We decided on seperate bedrooms at home which work really well but I was really worried and anxious about trips away, staying with friends etc.
I tried various types of plugs and eventually Googled and found you.
I have to say they are brilliant. It took me a while to insert them properly but now I have the technique.
We are currently away for our 41st wedding anniversary, I am sleeping well and together and I cannot thank you enough for creating such a great product.
I am recommending you to friends and am so happy that our trips and holidays are not restricted as I feared they would be.

Game changer. These literally have changed my life. As a person who has chronic illnesses sleep is doubley important to me. I can finally sleep in peace next to my very loud partner. Cuts out 80% of cars and snoring. Wish I'd found these earlier when I was a night shift worker. Thank you Bollsen.
Must have ear plugs
The best I’ve ever had, after having ear surgery and given the ok to go swimming again I felt nervous but the Bollsen ear plug are fantastic, I can swim knowing no water will go into my ear channel. Will buy again and again.
When I woke up and took the earplugs out, both of my ears were blocked, I was terrified I had hurt my ears. I went to the DR and she said that they created an airtight seal in my ear which created negative pressure in my ear, similar to what happens when you’ve got the flu and your ears block, it took 48 hours for them to unblock. The DR said I also have an ulcer in my ear from the pressure of the ear plug and now have to be careful not to get any water in there or I risk getting an infection. I don’t know if this was just my experience but I wouldn’t risk it.

Genius design without typical irritation.
From placing the spiral ear plug to cleaning nothing works better.
First foremost do they work? Yes 100 percent. They are so easy to place in your ear and because they are like a spiral silicone ribbon they easily go in on the tip of your finger with a twist. Also you do not hear your heart like so many.
In the morning you pull the tab and wash them with soap and water and place them back into the metal storage container.
So they are comfortable, work and are easy to clean.
An exceptional value, design!
Excellent pair of earplugs, good fir and definitely reduce noise. As a biker I've used various plugs from numerous brands but these are by far the best at reducing noise.
The delivery of the Bollsen Earplugs was very good. They arrived in an acceptable timeframe and were once opened, exactly as described. I bought these as my other plugs were near end-of-life. I am very impressed at how well these managed the external wind-noise level, but I was still able to hear my in-helmet sound system / navigation. An easy fit into the ear and just as importantly, very easy to remove.
Didnt work for me but Customer Service was good. I Ordered a set of 3 Life +, they didn't work so contacted Bollsen who suggested their fitted service. They duly arrived but although a better fit, for me barely blocked out any noise. I requested a refund. After a couple of chase up emails I recieved a full refund.

We had their Watersafe earplugs shipped to Canada. Shipping was reasonably fast, and the product is very good for what we needed - our teenage son needed ear plugs that were small enough to fit in his ears for showering, provided a good seal, and were comfortable. It checked all of those boxes. We're not sure about swimming yet.
Very unhappy! My order for nearly $100AUD never arrived. It sat at a facility for over 10 days so I contacted Bollsen to let them know there was a problem. Next thing I was told by Bollsen that my order had been delivered. It hadn’t, I’m retired and home during the day. There was never an attempted delivery. I feel like I have been scammed as I have nothing to show for my money or time. I lodged a complaint with Bollsen and they were to look into this with the postal service they use but that was several weeks ago and I’ve heard nothing from them. Now I will have to spend more money and spend time researching to get earplugs for an upcoming flight in June. Don’t buy from Bollsen as they use dodgy shipping.

Very disappointed with the motor1 ear plugs ,they just do not work well at all and have found them harder to install and more uncomfortable than much cheaper ear plugs.

Reply from BOLLSEN Hearing Protection
I have ordered 3 pairs for me and my friends as we went on holiday together. The items have not arrived even after almost a month. They said they delivered, but the products never got to my house. They have ZERO INTEREST in the client. They didnt even tried to get in touch with me even though i have emailed them twice. Do not use this company if you dont want to loose your money. Purchased this through eBay. Money back guarantee (nope)
