Sorry :o:p

I cant open the link (stoopid computer gives up opening them unless I reboot if I've been on a comping fest ) but the little one has no trouble at all hearing the instructor using the putty and bands from the swimstop site

Thanks. FWIW, the bands I found were cheaper, but didn't include ear putty! Think ear putty and bands together still worked out cheaper, should you need more in future!

I'll have to head off to the Council swimming baths and see what they have: I don't think the gym I use has anything like that on offer, just silly hats and 'normal' ear plugs.

I only actually noticed the other week that they had the putty but deffo look at the local baths.

We actually bought the plugs when we got the bands (like rubber screws) and the putty is a million times better

... We don't use blu-tak in this house because I hate it so much! :rotfl:

I've got packets of it, blue and white. The only reason we have it is that DD put it on her list for Father Christmas when she was younger. She just loves the feel of it and and used to keep a blob on her bedside cabinet:o

I couldn't get the ear putty to work but maybe I'm just cack handed...

There was a comment on one of the places I found to buy it that it was quite hard to mould it to fit. So not necessarily just you!

That's where you can see blu-tak would be good. Plus it would probably leave your ears quite clean! :rotfl:

The first couple of times are the hardest, its like playdoh thats been in the fridge, the more you play, the more pliable, the easier to mould

I do admittedly have weird ears - I have real trouble with in-ear headphones as well and only one type will do me. My brother has the same thing. They look okay from outside though

I've had awful problems with my hearing aid moulds as well, so I'm sure you're not alone with the weird ears! Mine are lovely on the outside though ...

I can recommend boots own brand 'muffles wax earplugs' they mould to fit the ear and only cost £2.09 for 5 pairs. my daughter uses them.
hope that helps
