I have smaller ear canals but didn't realize it until the normal Mack's (beige colored ones) started hurting me. Sometimes they would fall out of my ears--or maybe I took them out unconsciously since they made my poor ears sore.
Enter: slim fit Mack's! They are definitely made for folks with smaller ear canals, as they fit me perfectly. No falling out, no pain, just silence. It always amazes me when I wake up in the morning to take them out, and suddenly hear loud birds, trucks, people talking outside the window... all the things that would have normally woken me up. I'm blissfully unaware of everything with these earplugs!!
The material has great elasticity and when I insert them according to the instructions they work very well. They’re not uncomfortable and they get me through the night sleeping on my side.
The noise reduction is amazing! I woke up after sleeping with them in and didn’t realize there was construction going on outside until I took them out.
Overall great product!
At first I couldn't get these to work for me. They didn't seem to be blocking sound unless the stars aligned and it was in the perfect position.
Then I found the secret. If you do these two things, you'll be amazed at how well they work.
1. They must be inserted really far into your ear canal.
Further than you think is comfortable at first. It shouldn't be painful, but if you've not had anything in your ear this deep, it'll feel weird at first. That'll go away.
If they are far enough that you can barely get them back out, you are doing it right. If they get stuck in your ear, you can use your fingernail to claw it out with a "come hither" motion.
2. After your roll it up as small as you can get it, moisten the tip a little bit.
You can use water, or just lick it. That little bit of water makes it go in perfectly nearly 100% of the time. Otherwise, you are in a race against time between when you stop rolling and when you get it in your ear. And you'll be frustrated when you can't quite get it in for the 10th time.
Bonus - this method makes the earplugs usable for longer. Over time, the earplugs will expand faster than you can put them in your ear. Using the method above, this product has lasted me a year with nightly use and many lost earplugs.
Note: don't submerge them in water here. We are talking about just a little bit.
If you do #1 and #2 it should work for you most of the time. But if you still have trouble, use the hand opposite of the ear you want to insert a plug into to lift your ear. Grab it at the top of the lobe and pull towards the sky. This opens up your ear canal even more.
These are great if you can get them in position. Very effective at blocking sounds. With 2 young kids, I don't know how parents cope without them at times!
To summarize:
If you have shorter ear canals and more sensitive ears I would recommend Mack’s Thermafit, adult/kids silicone ear plugs, or Hearos Softstar foam. If you have average ear canals and want the most noise blocking I would get Howard Leight. If you prefer contoured earplugs and find them to be the most comfortable then get Flents Protech Contour. If you have very narrow (but not short) ear canals, then get Mack’s slim fit or Flents Protech Sleeping.
White Hearos Softstar foam:
These ear plugs are wider than most but shorter and the foam is very soft. They are comfortable and didn’t hurt my ears, even when laying on my side. The foam is so light and fluffy though it lets in more noise than other ear plugs. If comfort is most important to you, you’re a side sleeper, and you don’t need complete silence, these are for you.
Tan Mack’s Thermafit:
This was the last pack of ear plugs I ordered to try and I finally found the right ones for me. The foam expands more quickly and is a bit rougher texture than others but once you get it in your ear it is just as comfortable at the Hearos and blocks as much (if not more) noise as Howard Leights and silicone. If you have short ear canals, want something comfortable that blocks out the most noise, try Mack’s thermafit.
Purple Mack’s Slim fit:
I have somewhat smaller ear canals but these were too narrow for me. They didn’t block any sound and despite them being thin, they are still long. If you have very narrow ear canals that are an average length, these would be a good choice for you.
Dark Green Howard Leight low pressure:
Howard Leights are soft and I found that they blocked out the most sound out of all the ear plugs I tried. They are a bit long for my ears but I just have short ear canals. If you have average ear canals and want the most noise blocking ear plugs, I would recommend these.
Light Green Flents Protech Contour:
I like contour ear plugs because my ears are sensitive. These are pretty large ear plugs and not the best for those with small ears. They were the best price of all the earplugs I tried. If you have average-larger ear canals, are a side sleeper, or prefer contoured ear plugs, these are for you.
Blue/White Flents Protech Sleeping:
I thought these would be my Goldilocks ear plugs after I liked the regular Protech contour ones but found them to be too big. Well these were way too small. They fit in my ears easily but don’t block any noise, much like the slimfits. I can still hear the clock ticking, the traffic, my dog snoring everything. I’m so bummed! If you have tiny (and I mean tiny) ears and like the contoured foam, I would get these.
Mack’s silicone ear plugs (orange kids and clear regular):
As someone who generally hates having things deep in my ears, silicone ear plugs sounded like the way to go. I found the clear ones to be huge and I was having to cut them in half so I ended up getting the kids size. They are comfortable and are good for side sleeping. They also block out a lot of noise. My issue with these is that they tend to suction to your ear which is uncomfortable and you can hear your heart beating in your ears. I think it’s something you can get use to though. If you hate foam/regular ear plugs, have small or sensitive ears, and want to still block a lot of noise, I’d try these.
Of all the ones I tried, I found Mack’s Theramfit to be the best all around.
Happy sleeping!

Blue/White Flents Protech Sleeping:
I thought these would be my Goldilocks ear plugs after I liked the regular Protech contour ones but found them to be too big. Well these were way too small. They fit in my ears easily but don’t block any noise, much like the slimfits. I can still hear the clock ticking, the traffic, my dog snoring everything. I’m so bummed! If you have tiny (and I mean tiny) ears and like the contoured foam, I would get these.
Mack’s silicone ear plugs (orange kids and clear regular):
As someone who generally hates having things deep in my ears, silicone ear plugs sounded like the way to go. I found the clear ones to be huge and I was having to cut them in half so I ended up getting the kids size. They are comfortable and are good for side sleeping. They also block out a lot of noise. My issue with these is that they tend to suction to your ear which is uncomfortable and you can hear your heart beating in your ears. I think it’s something you can get use to though. If you hate foam/regular ear plugs, have small or sensitive ears, and want to still block a lot of noise, I’d try these.
Of all the ones I tried, I found Mack’s Theramfit to be the best all around.
Happy sleeping!

I was previously using the wax versions by Mack's but they don't block out sound that well unless you push them in well. But they hurt the ear when pushed too far into the canal.
These foam ear plugs if inserted well, do provide good sound blocking. They don't block out all sounds ie. Loud snores. But they do block road noise from outside and low key snoring. I can still hear my partner talking to me but it's very muffled.
The foam needs to be compressed as much as possible by rolling it lengthwise, without folding it. Slide it into your ear as quickly as possible. Hold it there for a few seconds for it to decompress.
It's soft and small enough for side sleepers.
