BOLLSEN® Watersafe+ Ear Plugs for Swimming were our top choice in our search for the best swimming earplugs that keep water out while staying comfortably in place – lap after lap.
Our Review of BOLLSEN’s Earplugs for Swimming
After a comprehensive ten-week test, BOLLSEN Watersafe+ emerged as the top choice for water protection and a secure fit. 90% of our testers found the water protection particularly effective, and the plugs stayed put even during fast swimming and triathlon training.
Water Protection and Effectiveness
Most people buy swimming earplugs to keep water out, plain and simple. That trapped-water feeling is what people mean by swimmer’s ear or surfer’s ear. Across our twenty testers, 90% said their ears felt drier and more comfortable after a swim, and they could still follow a conversation while wearing them. They performed especially well in the pool and in open water.
Noise Reduction
These earplugs carry an SNR of 24 dB, providing constant sound reduction at high, medium and low frequencies (H=24 dB, M=21 dB, L=19 dB). The attenuation was tested according to ISO standard 4869-2 by an independent testing institute.
Personal Fit with AR KI TECH
BOLLSEN Watersafe+ stands out thanks to its AR KI TECH personalisation technology, which guarantees the best fit for each user. For just £12, this custom service measures your ears from a photo and improves both comfort and the water seal.
Eco-Friendly and Ethically sourced
The brand claims its products are environmentally friendly, backed by certifications showing ethical sourcing and fair wages. We reached out about their manufacturing and sourcing, and they pointed us to their certifications for ethical sourcing and fair wages — giving us strong confidence in their eco-conscious and ethical practices.
Using the Ear Plugs
To use the earplugs, gently insert them with your index finger, rotating them into the ear canal for a snug, watertight fit. Testers also liked the low-profile design, which sits flush in the ear, and noticed a real difference after a swim: no trapped water, just a dry, comfortable finish.
Return Policy: 40-Day Guarantee
We tested the guarantee too: we returned a used pair 35 days after purchase. The return process was incredibly easy – they sent a return label right away with no questions asked, and refunded us in full two days after the goods arrived. The 40-day guarantee really does work.
Our Conclusion – Swimming Ear Plugs
In our opinion, BOLLSEN Watersafe+ gave us a great experience in terms of water protection, secure fit, comfort and customer care. We can confidently say the majority of swimmers will be satisfied with their purchase.
