Description:

These colourful ear plugs by Putty Buddies, are the world’s only floating soft mouldable silicone ear plugs. These ear plugs are large enough for adults yet small enough for kids, being extra tacky, helps keep the earplugs in place for optimal effectiveness. Putty Buddies silicone earplugs are made with patented Flo-Tek silicone formula.

They help prevent swimmers ear and can be used while swimming or bathing, the earplugs are floatable, so if you happen to dislodge them in water, they easily float on top. These earplugs completely fill the outer ear, providing a watertight seal over the ear canal. This product was invented by an ENT physician and can be used for swimming, bathing, surfing, water skiing, canoeing, and kayaking. Each pair of Putty Buddies comes in its own sturdy plastic carry case

Usage Directions:

• Do NOT force into ear canal.
• Handle with clean, dry hands. Be sure any sunscreen, tanning oils, or skin moisturizers are removed from hands prior to handling.
• Ear plugs should be placed over a clean and dry ear canal by an adult, never a child. 
• Flatten plug with fingers and shape to cover outer ear until snugly fit.
• Do NOT tear plugs at any time. Use the entire ear plug for each ear. If plug appears to separate or crack, please do not use or attempt to remold together. Discard and use a new pair.
• Remove plugs by pressing up, under the backside of the ear. Then pull down on the ear lobe. Alternating these techniques several times will release the plug from over the ear canal for easy removal and storage.
• Discard after 2 weeks of use or when plugs become dirty, start to crack/crumble, or lose their tackiness.
• If any material remains in the ear canal after removal of the ear plug, do not attempt to remove this material yourself as you may push it deeper inside. Please see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist (not a generalist) as soon as possible and they should be able to readily remove any material. 
• Note that silicone is water repellent and will not likely be removed from skin or hair with water. If any silicone material gets stuck to skin or hair, use mineral oil or any natural oil-based product to remove the material.
• Ear plugs are for use ONLY in water. If the user is out of the water for more than 5 minutes, please remove ear plugs, store and reapply (or use new pair) when re-entering the water.

Warnings:

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Only cover opening of ear. DO NOT INSERT IN EAR CANAL. Silicone ear plugs are safe when used as instructed. Keep away from infants. If swallowed, the plugs are non-toxic but may interfere with breathing if caught in windpipes. Do not spread silicone plugs too thin. Avoid contact with hair and oil based lotions.

If you push a silicone ear plug into your ear canal, do not try to remove it yourself. Do not use tweezers, cotton swabs or other devices as these may push the plug further into canal. See an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Physician as they have the proper instruments and skill to remove the plugs safely. A silicone ear plug in the ear canal for a short time may be harmless, providing you do not attempt to remove the ear plug yourself and accidentally push it deeper into the opening.
