Spitty Earplugs

[lumberjack]

...Those of us with more refined orifices, have to do the roll and tug approach or end up with crooked pieces...

Doing my damndest to leave it alone!

I wear the Howard Leight plugs, they must be some kind of silicon or some other rubberish compound. They have three or four little ribs on them. Plugs are good, unless you have to keep pulling them to communicate. This time of year, the ear muffs on the Stihl helmet are nice. They keep the ears from going stiff and snapping off. Spitting on them is out of the question.

Thanks, I'll try the ear tug up method for your better insertion.

Vocabulary choice makes a difference, moistening is ok, but spitting on them is definitely
gross ~ Miss manners :roll:

 

[Paul B]

no spit here.

Vocabulary choice makes a difference

And sometimes there just ISN'T a good choice..........

Tug up and back. Hell, it says it right on the package - I never knew it. It seats them WAY better.

Wet willies suck for a reason. I'm not an ear plug fan. Muffs all the way here.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I am more a muff man myself.. Did I just say that out loud ??

The biggest hassle I have with ear protection is what to do with it when you don't need it in. Those ones that you hang around your neck seem good in that regard, and easy to pop in and out when someone is jumping up and down trying to get your attention. Like to try them, but haven't seen them for sale here though. Heck, ear protection is a very recent thing here, it used to blow my mind to go into a sawmill and nobody would be wearing them. I know a few guys who are always getting up to answer the phone when it's not really ringing.

What?!? My wife and daughter are constantly making fun of me, the damn mumbling whisperers that they are.

 

[MasterBlaster]

When I pull them out, they go in my pocket. I'll break out a clean pair if I need more hearing protection..

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Huh? Could you speak louder please.....

Bailey's has something new called Skull Screws. Foam earplugs with screw threads on them so you just twist them into your brain.

I just saw it in the holiday catalogue.

You could put acid tabs on them and screw them into your mind/

 

[MasterBlaster]

That sound pretty cool.

Thanks for the link!

 

[MasterBlaster]

54 bucks? No freaking way!

 

[Old Monkey]

For 120 pairs of the corded ones. 34.95 for 120 of the cordless ones.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ahhh, hahaha!

 

[lumberjack]

I use E.A.R. Classics w/ a cord. When I'm not using them, they're around my neck.

If they get wet, I'll change them out, otherwise they get tossed at the end of the day.

 

[Old Monkey]

I use earplugs over and over again. When they get bad I leave them in my pants and they go through the wash.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I bought a 'lil garments bag that I chunk them into and wash them with my whites.

 

[Bodean]

Don't use muffs, too much gear on my face makes me feel funky.

I wear ear plugs, I lick'em to get them in better.

I keep them in my pocket, sometimes they go through the wash, bonus.

I wear the same pair for as long as I can keep thm around, usually a day or two.

Unsanitary? Whatever, I've eaten dirt.

 

[Old Monkey]

You too?

 

[sotc]

i just roll and stick. ill wear a pair all day if i dont keep losing them. usually stick em in mycoin pocket and run through the wash

 

[thattreeguy]

i've had to get some a bit moist before but not like all slobbery
Muffs R nice
plugs work ok...i like them Spark Plugs, brand...
Why aren't they the official ear plug of Nascar?,
i cant wear those plastic banded ones they give me a headache,
and those string ones just get hung up
i like to run em through the wash and then my baby steals them from the laundry basket and chews on em for awhile...better than the dirty ones i guess
