    Boots definitely does them - I'd imagine most chemists would sell them.

    Hi - I ride a motorbike and a lot of us buy earplugs from ebay.
    If you haven't tried them before then it's a good idea to get a mixed bag.
    Then you can try the different ones to see which ones fit your ears best.

    I like the Howard Leight quiet ones.
    They are more expensive but they are plastic rather than foam so you can wash them.

    I ordered mine from here. They should deliver to you. The delivery was really quick. I use these and have to admit to them being really good. I can hear slight noises when I go to sleep but once I am asleep, I don't get woken up by my DH with his snoring anymore. Have been quite a marriage saver. :D

    The ones that look like Rhubarb and Custard are the ones I have. They say disposable but I just gently rinse them under the tap each morning and leave to dry. I have used about 3 pairs in the past 3 months.

    I tend to just get from tesco or sainsbury.... though they have a somewhat limited selection.

    Its called 'wrap strike tag'

    This Icon is shown immediately top right as you compose text (but not in quick reply)

    Its shown as a [STRIKE]S[/STRIKE] ( a capital S with a strike thru it)

    You want to use this site -

    http://www.snorestore.co.uk/

    Everyones ears are different and different ear plugs work better for different people.

    The ones in Boots are fairly naff, btw.

    I'd recommend snorestores sample packs - comes with about 10 different types, then see which suits you best.
