Only Watersafe held a full seal through cold water, swell, and rough conditions. Just ordered my third pair. Coralie B. / TrustpilotMasters swimmer, 5 sessions a week including butterfly sets. Previous plugs fell out on every tumble turn. Watersafe stays locked in through 60 turns per session. Material is still intact after 4 months of daily use.

Start AR KI Tech ear measurement now Frequently Asked Questions About Swimming Earplugs Will they actually stay in during flip turns and dives? Yes. This is the question every swimmer asks first, and for good reason. The conical 2-lamellae design locks to your ear canal rather than sitting loosely inside it. Body heat causes the silicone to adapt to your exact canal shape within the first few minutes, forming a secure seal. Customers report zero slippage through butterfly sets, tumble turns, and open water swell. The tab gives you full control for easy removal without tugging. Will they actually prevent swimmer's ear? Yes, when they seal properly. Swimmer’s ear (otitis externa) is caused by water sitting in the ear canal and breaking down the skin’s natural protection. Watersafe blocks water from entering the canal entirely. No water in means the bacteria in pool water and open water have no route to cause infection. Customers who switched to Watersafe after recurring infections consistently report zero ear infections from that point. If you’ve had recurring swimmer’s ear, getting the right size is essential. Use AR KI Tech if you’re unsure. Can I still hear my coach and safety signals in the water? Yes. Watersafe is not designed to block all sound. The 2-lamellae silicone seals water out while still allowing approximately 24 dB of ambient sound through. In practice, you can hear your coach calling instructions from the poolside, whistles, and safety signals from kayakers in open water. What you lose is the underwater roar. What you keep is everything you actually need to hear. Why do I get dizzy after cold water swims? Will earplugs fix it? Very likely yes. Cold water entering the ear canal triggers something called caloric vestibular stimulation — cold water hitting the eardrum disrupts the balance signals your inner ear sends to your brain, causing vertigo and disorientation during and after long swims. It’s a well-documented phenomenon in cold water and open water swimming. Blocking cold water from reaching the eardrum removes the trigger. Several of our customers discovered this was the cause of their post-swim dizziness only after Watersafe eliminated it entirely. Are they safe to use with ear tubes or a perforated eardrum? Watersafe is doctor-recommended for exactly this use case. If you have tympanostomy tubes (grommets), a perforated eardrum, or a post-surgical ear, water entering the canal is a serious risk. Watersafe forms a medical-grade silicone seal that keeps water out completely, making it safe for showering, bathing, and supervised swimming. Always confirm with your ENT or GP first, particularly in the early stages of recovery. How do I insert them correctly? Place the earplug on the tip of your finger and gently twist it into your ear canal with a slight rotating motion. It should seal the canal fully without needing to be forced. Once inserted correctly, you’ll feel the ambient sound reduce slightly. The tab sits flush outside the canal for easy removal. For the best seal, make sure you have the right size. If the standard version doesn’t feel secure, the AR KI Tech measurement will get you the exact fit for your ear canal. What if they leak or don't work for me? Nothing. You have 40 days to test them in the pool, in open water, in the shower. If they leak or you’re not satisfied for any reason, contact us and we’ll refund you in full.
