What are Swim Plugz?

Swim Plugz are swimming ear plugs designed to help to keep your ears safe from infection while you swim. Perfect for adults who spend a lot of time in the water, Swim Plugz help to protect from swimmer’s ear and other infections and are ideal for those who have a perforated ear drum.

Why would I need swimming ear plugs?

Swimming ear plugs can be vital for those who spend a lot of time in the water, such as swimmers or surfers. They can prevent bacteria from entering the ear, helping to keep ear infections and ‘swimmer’s ear’ at bay. If you suffer with a perforated (or burst) eardrum, you may need to wear earplugs whenever you go in the water to protect your ears from further damage.

How will these swimming ear plugs protect my ears from water?

When worn correctly, Swim Plugz form a water tight seal over your ears, stopping water from entering your ear canal. This helps to keep the bacteria that cause ear infections and swimmer’s ear at bay while also protecting your eardrums from water. The flexible silicone of Swim Plugz helps them to fit into your ears properly, offering protection while still feeling comfortable to wear.

How to use Swim Plugz.

Hold the top of your ear with your opposite hand and pull gently upwards and away from your head, opening the ear canal. Insert the rounded end of your Swim Plugz into the ear and hold it in place with your finger until it is secure. Repeat the process with the other ear.

When should Swim Plugz not be used?

Do not use Swim Plugz if you are allergic to silicone or any of the other listed components. These Swim Plugz are for adults and are not suitable for children. Be sure to follow the included instructions, if you do not then the effectiveness of this product may be decreased.
