I will only purchase Mack's!
I wear earplugs to sleep every single night as my husband's snoring is unbearable, and after many years of experimentation, I only buy Mack's. I've tried cheaper ones and they get stiff and uncomfortable to wear and your ear can actually get sore. These are soft and feel comfortable in the ear. This specific one is marketed more towards women (I am a woman), but I really have not noticed a major difference between this and their Ultra (tan) earplugs that would make me need one over the other.
The pink ones definitely are more comfortable and softer. The way you put these in is you roll them between your thumb and pointer finger and then insert into your ear and they re inflate inside your ear canal and it is easier to do that to the pink ones and they feel better in your ear than the tan ones. The tan ones block out more noise though, but I sleep next to the world's loudest snorer and the difference isn't enough for me to really worry about. For moms this could be a plus if you need to be able to hear a child crying. I like them because my husband's snoring becomes background noise, but my dog can still wake me up if she needs to go out. The pink ones show earwax alot less than the tan ones.
Like I said I use them every night, and I reuse a pair for a few nights then toss them, so being able to buy 50 pairs at a time at a good price is awesome. They also come in a little plastic container with a flip top lid, which is nice to store them.
One thing to keep in mind, for some reason my dog LOVES to eat these, so keep them away from dogs! They do seem to "pass through" the dogs pretty easily though.
One tidbit if anyone is thinking about wearing these to sleep every night...you will need to start showering in the morning. I use to shower at night and ended up getting a TERRIBLE ear infection, so bad I couldn't hear out of one ear. The earplugs trap moisture in your ear and that becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, so shower in the morning so there is not additional water.
