Advantages: Comfortable and actually work.

Disadvantages: Expensive if used every night........unless you split each one in half.

After moving to a very noisy location (which features loud neighbours, buses, rubbish trucks and lots of cars) from a very quiet one, I found that I was being woken up by the slightest noise. You can get earplugs from lots of shops but they always seem to be made from foam, which I find are useless. The only ones that actually lower the noise level AND stay in my ears all night are Boots Muffles. The name explains exactly what they do. Rather than completely blocking out noise, they reduce and muffle it, allowing you to have much better sleep but meaning you can still hear your alarm clock in the morning. They cost £2.19 for five pairs which, as they are supposed to be one time use only, should mean they only last you 5 nights. However, I find that one per ear is too big and not as comfortable so I split them and use one half in each ear, making them virtually unnoticeable from a comfort point of view and doubles the amount of time that one box lasts. As they are made from wax, you can easily mould them to fit your ears perfectly, unlike the more common foam plugs. Thoroughly recommended.

Summary: A product that I use every night and could not do without.
