Eye Masks & Earplugs

Look for breathable materials that won't irritate your skin and have a secure but not tight fit to keep light out effectively. Additionally, consider masks with adjustable straps for a personalized fit.

Earplugs can help by reducing the impact of loud engine noises and other sounds, which is particularly useful during takeoff and landing when pressure changes are common.

Opt for masks made from soft, hypoallergenic materials like cotton or bamboo. These materials are less likely to cause irritation and are gentle on the skin.

Yes, earplugs can be used not only at night but also during the day to block out unwanted noise from construction or other sources that might disturb your peace.

It’s a good idea to replace your eye mask and earplugs every 3-6 months, depending on how frequently you use them. This ensures they remain effective and comfortable.

For long flights, consider using custom or moldable earplugs which provide a more secure fit and can offer better noise reduction over extended periods.

Hand wash your eye mask with mild soap and cool water, then air dry it. Avoid using the dryer as high heat can damage the material and make them less comfortable.

While not necessary for short trips, regular earplugs can still be used if you find that external sounds are distracting or bothersome.

If you find that the earplugs are uncomfortable or don't seem to stay in place when inserted, they might be a poor fit. Try different sizes until you find ones that feel secure and provide good noise reduction.
