For years I've used spittle to lube the ear plugs but have found that my vaseline or petro. lip balm seals better. Is vaseline bad for the ear canal? Huh??
I gotta wear hearing protection all the time. Even when I pee.
Lanolin hand cleaner, not the pumas ones, works well....
I'm going to assume you mean "not the pumice ones". Pumas would also be bad for your ears - sharp teeth.....
Was "schmegma" spelled correctly?
I use mineral oil (recommended by my doctor), which I keep in a small bottle, along with Q-Tips in the glove box of each bike. It seems that the mineral oil lasts for the second insertion of the earplugs, but not for a third time. Hence the glove box supply.
My Mother told me not to put anything in my ear smaller than my elbow...... so be careful OM
The folks who custom-made my ear protection include a small tube of Vaseline to use sparingly when inserting the plugs. Has worked fine for me for many years.
Fortunately foam disposables do work for me.
