Putty Buddies Swim Earplugs Earvolution Floating Moldable Putty — 10-Pair Pack, Reusable Waterproof Comfort

Putty Buddies Earvolution Floating Putty Buddies are moldable, floating silicone earplugs designed to create a soft, waterproof seal that stays comfortable and is easy to retrieve from water.

Designed by a board-certified ENT physician with decades of experience, these Earvolution Floating Putty Buddies come as a 10-pair pack of soft, reusable silicone putty that floats on water. They are made in the USA, are latex- and BPA-free, and are intended to fit a wide range of ear shapes without inserting anything into the ear canal. The floating Flo-Tek silicone makes them easy to recover if they come loose while swimming, boating, or playing at the beach.

How do these earplugs stay easy to find in the water?

The Earvolution formula uses patented Flo-Tek silicone that remains buoyant so pieces will float if they come off. That means less time searching in the water and more time enjoying activities.

• Flo-Tek silicone compound engineered to float on water
• Bright colors (when supplied) improve visibility in pools or lakes
• Non-adhesive surface reduces sinking and clumping

Will they fit different ear sizes and stay comfortable?

Yes—these putty-style earplugs are moldable and tacky, designed to conform to a variety of ear shapes without pressing into the ear canal. Their soft texture helps maintain a secure, gentle seal for kids and adults alike.

• One-size-fits-most, moldable silicone for customized fit
• Super-soft, tacky finish for comfort during extended wear
• Reusable and washable for long-term use

Are these safe for people with ear tubes or perforated eardrums?

Putty Buddies were developed by an ENT specialist and are recommended by many clinicians for external protection. They are intended to remain external and should not be pushed into the ear canal; when used externally they provide a barrier that helps keep water away from the ear opening.

• Doctor-developed design favored by specialists for external use
• Suitable as an external waterproofing option for ear tubes when used as directed
• Do not insert into the ear canal; follow package instructions

How do I get the most reliable seal while swimming or surfing?

For the most dependable protection, combine the moldable putty with a snug swim headband to hold the putty in place during active water sports. Placing the putty against the ear’s outer folds and securing with a band reduces chances of displacement.

• Shape putty into a flat disc and press over the outer ear opening
• Pair with an Ear Band-It swim headband (sold separately) for added security
• Rinse and dry putty after use to preserve tack and longevity
