Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
We bought this product to protect our son's ears during bathtime. He is two and has eartubes and our doctor recommended not allowing bath water into ears. This can make shampooing challenging. We use this product in combination with the silicone ear plugs (kind of like clear play dough) to keep them in place and seal his ears from soapy bathwater. My only complaint is that it can sometime be difficult to get the right fit and comfort with the velcro strap. We recommend getting the band wet before fitting to head, because like a wetsuit, water causes the neoprene to stretch out. Often it will stretch enough that it can slip down over child's eyes which, in our son's case, causes some panic and can also cause his silicone earplugs to fall out. Despite some difficulties in getting it on our son while not causing the plugs to be dislodged or velcro to scratch him, we like that, once in place, it provides good protection and we can shampoo and rinse without anxiety of getting water into his ears. Know the band is sized and has the velcro to allow for many different shaped and sized heads and to grow with your child, but we would prefer if it were sized as it is currently but instead of the velcro it had a stretchy elastic band at the back, like may women's headbands, for ease of placement. Perhaps placement will get easier as he gets older. Overall though, we think this is the best solution to bathtime for a child with eartubes.
