What is the difference between Ear Band-It and Ear Band-It ULTRA?
The Ear Band-It ULTRA differs from the original Ear Band-It in that it uses 4–4.5 mm thick neoprene with a non-slip embossed pattern on the inside, which provides better grip, greater stability and a longer service life. The ULTRA offers greater coverage over the ears, keeps hair out of the face and stays in place better during intensive water use. Both versions are designed to keep earplugs or hearing aids in place. The ULTRA version is available in sizes M and L in princess print and surf dino print.
How do I measure the right size for the Ear Band-It ULTRA?
You can easily avoid problems with the size and returning the swimming headband by measuring the head circumference and using the size chart. A soft measuring tape works best, but a piece of string with a standard measuring tape is also fine.
Measure from the hairline on your forehead diagonally backwards to where the hairline meets your neck, just as you would wear a swimming cap. Choose the size based on this measurement. The age categories are based on average head circumference, but children often need a larger size than expected. Therefore, it is always wise to measure yourself and consult the size chart.
What are Putty Buddies?
Putty Buddies are extra sticky silicone earplugs that mould themselves to the ear and stay securely in place during swimming or other water activities. They are designed to keep water out of the ear canal and offer reliable protection, especially for children with ear tubes or people who are prone to ear infections. Thanks to their sticky texture, they are less likely to shift than standard earplugs. They are available in red, pink, blue, petrol and purple. It is recommended to combine Putty Buddies with Ear Band-Its for optimal protection.
Why should I combine Ear Band-It ULTRA and Putty Buddies?
The combination of Putty Buddies and the Ear Band-It ULTRA provides the best protection during water activities. The Ear Band-It ULTRA ensures that the Putty Buddies stay perfectly in place, resulting in maximum safety and the best possible hearing protection.
