    One of my failed attempts at humor... :smile: I think of myself scrubbing my few pathetic and faded pairs of EAR foam earplugs, and you with a large dispenser of brand new ones...

    What can I say? Makes me feel a bit idiotic, is all. Like all humans, I obsess on strange things. Sometimes the absurdity of it just strikes me as funny.

    So I meant nothing bad by it. I was just laughing at myself, and inviting others to share the humor. So sorry about that; it wasn't very obvious.

    Oh, OK, didn't know what you meant. I still use 'em till they are grubby though. I am just cheap that way, so I bought them in bulk, which gets me an even better price, that is really the reason I did it, 'cause they are so cheap that way. Rather than buy them 10 - 20 at a time at the drug store or whatever. I got 500 for like $60.

    Got custom molded plugs when I'm not using my Shure earbuds. Foamies just don't do anything for me.

    Warm water and soap to clean both of them. Very easy.

    The foamies are a bit of a PIA. When they seal they work great, when they dont their junk. It usually takes a few trys to a good seal.
