I wanna buy some ear plugs - cheap

11yo dd has to wear ear plugs for swimming, showering and bathing and it's costing me a fortune. i used to get some from a friend who's son worked at the airport but he's moved on now - anyone know where I can get a bulkish supply - I would be willing to buy 100 at a time

TIA stef

    i get them off of ebay for when i'm playing gigs.

    50 for £6.10 inc. postage

    200 for £13.50 inc postage

    he posts out really quickly
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)
  • I'm sure I saw large packets of earplugs in poundland yesterday.
  • you would be best off having a custom made pair of swim plugs from your local NHS Audiology department, they should be free if your son has grommets, perforated ear drums, history of ear surgery or history of ear infections.
    you may need a referral letter from your GP or ENT consultant but they should be free of charge

    ..... now why didn't the audiologist or dr tell us this. My daughter, now 11, has had glue ear for most of her life and is on her fourth set of grommets. Once the grommets fall out she gets infections every 6 weeks or so and suffers moderate hearing loss. I will see the doctor next week

    Thanks everyone else for the links - I will order some of the soft ones in the meantime :)

  • sorry mis-read you original post and did not realise what 'dd' meant, hope I did not cause offence
    Cost to NHS is @ £25 per mould so that probably why they did not tell you
