While as consumers we have no guarantees that a company will continue to produce a specific design, in this instance I feel misled because of the company’s use of the Quiet Please wording on what is a completely different product from what I’ve purchased in the past.

The label states that these are 29 NRR ear plugs but they hurt my ears as if there were 33 NRR ear plugs. In my opinion noise reduction is not worth ear pain, nor is ear pain compatible with sleeping well.

Even if their supplier quit, Flents could have kept their original, proven design.

FYI for myself in the US, the 3M Classic earplugs in the 200 quantity are half the cost per pair of these new Flents.

Thank you so much Jürgen for this helpful post explaining what Flents did not!

In reply to Anthony. Get Mack's Thermafit. Very good. Essentially the same as the old Flents.

I’ve used the old Flents’ Protechs Quiet Please Foam Ear Plugs for years, without a problem. Within hours of using the “Now Softer for more comfort!” new ones, I had an allergic reaction. My ears became itchy. I could see in the mirror the ear canals became red. Maybe they put latex in the new ones, which could explain the allergic reaction. Thanks for the suggestions on different earplugs!

Thank you for this post. The new Flents Protechs earplugs are awful. I’ve been searching for new earplugs and will try the Mack’s Thermafit Soft Foam Ear Plugs. Thank you again!

After using Quiet Please for 10 years of uninterrupted sleep I’ve barely slept for 2 weeks with the new product ( live by a large body of very wavy water!). Just emailed Quiet Please to tell ask them if they filter the comments on their website to 5 stars only, because Walmart and Amazon buyers are not happy. In reviewing the 3M Classics I found this article, which was very helpful. Interesting to hear they switched suppliers. Knowing this makes their marketing even more deceptive….grumbles from lack of sleep!

In reply to Jürgen Kraus (Calgary, Canada). I bought them on Amazon MX and when i tried to return them I got the message lol that 'this product is not elgible for return'! (Even if I hadn't opened the package yet!) I called Amazon MX, and the representative gave me an Amazon credit. I told him that the product has totally changed.

In reply to patrick.

Hi Patrick, not sure whether they wanted to save money, they simply lost their supplier, they told me (…maybe over money). Check the latest reviews on amazon.com, they are devastating.

As to returning them…not possible for hygienic reasons. I called amazon and wanted a refund…it worked.

Really good article btw Jurgen. I think Flents switched to this new recipe to save money.

Jurgen, I was just noticing this when my new bottle of Flents arrive a few days ago. New version is just average–same as the other products on the market. I’m going to try and return them.
