Amazon Prime Day may be over, but these must-have ear plugs are still 86% off

Let me preface this by saying – I'm a terrible sleeper. I don't sleep well in my own bed in my own home, but put me on a noisy flight surrounded by strangers? Well, it gets exponentially worse.

But I have discovered that a good pair of ear plugs can really make a world of difference. It reduces the noise pollution we deal with not only on every flight, but in our lives in general – that includes random blaring sirens and horns on my NYC street – but then it comes down to picking the right pair. There's some that are super expensive and others that are a lot more affordable and it's hard to figure out if you need to invest in the pricier pairs to get the best results.

Yes - there's some great options that cost a pretty penny - but there's also some really solid ones that are a lot more budget-friendly and just happen to be on sale. One fantastic buy is the IDE11 5dB Reusable Ear Plugs with 7 Eartips and Carry Case, currently on sale for $10, an 86% savings from their normal already-rather-fair price of $70.

Currently their lowest price in the last month (and the lowest price I've seen them ever) these ear plugs come in a lot of fun color options and are made of silicone. I like sleeping in this type of ear plug because they are flexible and durable – making them stay comfortable while doing what they are there to do. These are so lightweight too and have their own easy-to-carry and store storage box, aside from being reusable and kind to the environment.

Beyond that, they are just so easy to use. They come in four sizes (XS-L), so just try them out until you find your best fit. And if they feel at all loose, just try a different size until you have the most secure and comfortable fit. It's really that easy.

While I grabbed these for flights, really, it's had so many valuable uses, from concerts to working in a cafe. Absolutely worth a try while at this incredible price!
