While we're thinking pink, it occurs to us that there are actually quite a lot of earplugs designed especially for women. In general, these special earplugs are smaller, softer, no less effective than other earplugs -- and many of them come in a lovely pink color! In fact, we have so many great pink earplugs that we feel we're long overdue for a Pink Earplug Extravaganza! |
Here are a few of our favorite pink plugs:
|
Hearos Sleep Pretty in Pink Earplugs have to be at the top of our Pink Plug list. These super- soft foam earplugs are designed especially for women, but they don't skimp on hearing protection with an NRR of 32. With a handy carry-case and the whole Pretty and Pink motif going on, these are our favorite pink plugs this Valentine's Day. (Tip: Goes great with the Sleep Pretty in Pink sleep mask!) |
|
Mack's Dreamgirl Earplugs are another item we absolutely must include in any Pink Plug list. These are also designed especially for women, with a unique hollowed-and-flared shape that maxes these ultra comfortable, especially during sleep. At an NRR of 30, they're still some of the better hearing protection earplugs available, and they're soft and comfy enough to please the most delicate of ears. |
|
Next on our list, we have Shure SE115 Sound Isolating Earphones. Now, obviously these aren't earplugs -- they're in-ear earphones. And not just any earphones: these use second generation dynamic microspeakers to deliver the high-quality sound we've come to expect from Shure. But they do block outside noises through sound isolation technology, and we had to include them in our list because they're available in (you guessed it) pink! (Free Priority Shipping!) |
|
And we saved the best for last: custom-fit earplugs. Available for a wide variety of applications from sleeping to swimming, custom- fitted earplugs truly offer the very best fit available in an earplug. They're a little more complicated than standard earplugs -- we'll need custom impressions of your ears so we can have these plugs tailor-made to fit your ears like a glove. |
|
| (But don't worry, we provide a free impression kit, so getting custom plugs made is super easy!) As far as pink earplugs go, custom-fit earplugs really take the cake: you get to pick which color they come in, so you can make them pink -- or you can even pick a couple of colors for, say, a pink and purple swirl! (Or pink and any other color! Or even not pink...) | |
Now, these are by no means the only pink earplugs available -- nor are they the only earplugs that we recommend for women. But with our favorites (above) and many more to choose from in the store, this Valentine's Day is definitely the right time for a Pink Earplug Extravaganza!
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, so you may have your V-Day gift shopping already taken care of. But keep in mind that pink earplugs -- and the idea of providing good, comfortable, effective hearing protection for women is one we can support all year long. (Pink is always in style, right?)
Anyway, stay tuned for our final post in our four-part 2001 Valentine's Day article series tomorrow, on Valentine's Day itself!
We promise it'll be better than those chalky little heart-shaped candies (and better for you, too!).
And until next time, be safe and do the right thing.
