We bought these earplugs for my 3 year old who recently decided she didn鈥檛 like hearing her sister breathing/snoring at night. I was quite hesitant to buy loose earplugs (not on a string or attached in any way), because my daughter is super picky and fidgety if she鈥檚 uncomfortable. She鈥檚 been using them now for a few weeks on a nightly basis, and she loves them! She even reminds me when I forgot to put them in at bedtime, because she enjoys the fact that she can sleep without hearing any annoying noises. Would definitely purchase again
