i bought 200 from and keep them every where, what puts me off the moulded ones is that im sure they are easy to lose and mustr be disgusting after each use.

I had one of those little plastic boxes that were in the DSC marquee at the BMF. I keep my custom moulded earplugs in that and that stays in my leather pocket. Don't wear the plugs all the time, mainly longer journeys, but always know where to find them.

I agree with you, some are quite shocking prices, in Chichester, it ranges between 29p to 90p for one set depending on what you go for.. or you can buy 30 in a bag for 5.99 or 60 for 9.99 so not too bad.

Tell you what I think more annoying though for women, is sanitary wear, why can't we get that on NHS or similar, I mean they give condoms free, and the pill free, and blokes don't have to bury sanitary stuff, so really ear plugs is a small price to pay! humph!

To be honest ive nevered tried getting sanitary towels in my ears dont know a great deal about them either but im sure they have a different use :P

Usually manage to get a years supply of ear plugs while walking round music live at the NEC

I got some custom ones at the NEC last year which are great. They certainly never needed adjusting or anything. It can, however, be difficult to get them out when my hands are half frozen after a winter blast.... They stay in my jacket pocket normally so I know where thay are.

We use industrial ear plugs at work - get 'em from Arco:

Sommat like those...

Interestingly our company have just paid for us to have custom made ear plugs built - so a nice man came and squirted some rubber in my ears (well - I think it was rubber - lol). Just got them back last week, so have not had chance to try them yet but they can be built to accepts a jack plug of sorts for if we have to use two-way radios when on plant.

The supplier reckons they can also be used with mobiles / CD players etc - but sadly, only mono - in one ear.
