Ear Plugs?? I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could find somewhat dressy ear plugs. My ears are stretched to size 4 (I think I might go up to a 2, i haven't decided yet.)

So if anyone knows of a website and/or store I can check out I would really appreciate it. Thanks! I am not girly or so my definition of dressy might be a lower than expected. Now all of the confusion is cleared up. And I live in boring Indiana so we don't have any of those exotic or random stores.

What's the best method of getting ear plugs into the ear? I'm a biker so I use ear plugs to prevent myself going deaf. The kind of plugs I'm using are E-A-Rsoft yellow squishies (the kind you'd find on the RS site). The idea is that they're squeezed, inserted into the ear, then they expand and block out noise. Problem is they're really not easy to get in my ears. Most of the time the sausage is squished into a ball as insertion into the ear fails. Maybe there's a certain position, an angle of attack for the plug, that's best suits the opening of an ear? Maybe there's an optimum shape for the squished plug to make insertion easier? Should it simply be squashed or squashed and twisted for extra plug firmness when inserting?
