I would highly recommend!

Comments about Jaco Enterprises Ear Band-it System Large:
I signed my son up for swim lesson and he has tubes in his ears. Normally ear plugs don't stay in when he swims. I didn't know such a thing existed until I looked through one step ahead catalog. My son is 4 years old and tall for his age. I bought a small ear band but had to return it to get a medium one. The medium one fits perfectly. I wasn't sure how my son would react but he actually likes wearing the ear band and it keeps the ear plugs in. One Step Ahead also refunded my money very quickly. Thank you One Step Ahead!!
Love it! Does the job!

Bought this for my daughter after getting tubes in her ears. I use it with puddy buddy ear plugs and the ear bandit keeps the ear plugs in place. My daughter loves it...we use it for swimming and bath time.
Finally Something That Works!

My little guy got tubes put in back in November of 2012 and is one of the unfortunate ones to still get ear infections. Every time he would get an ear infection we had to use cotton balls with vaseline for bath time, but that didn't work very well for him and water would still get in his ears. Saw this in the catalog and had to try it! Figured if it worked for swimming, it would work for baths. I am so glad that I did and wish I would have found it sooner. I highly recommend this to any parent that has a child who gets ear infections or has tubes.
Wonderful Product!

These earplugs are better than those sold in drugstores.
Wonderful for kids with tubes!

My grandson has tubes in his ears. This is a great way to keep the putty plugs in and protect them. I tried to tie a headband on him and it kept slipping down and was a pain. He plays like he don't even know he has it on! Highly recommended!
wonderful for kids with ear issues

My granddaughter didn't want to swim and was always holding her ears. You could see she wanted to be with her brother and sister having fun but she was holding back. This was just what we needed to keep her ears dry. She had the most fun playing in the water this time with the ear plugs and band on. Even jumping off the edge of the pool. We will use this for swimming lessons next year.
Works like a charm

This is my second wrap. I have been using them since my son had tubes put in his ears. The wrap fits him well and the plugs conform to his ear. Excellent product.
Great product!

My son has used this system for 2 years now and has never gotten water in his ears from swimming. He loves it and thinks it looks cool. Great product - highly recommend.

About Me Professional
My son just had tubes put in 4 days ago when family from Japan came to visit. Everyone wanted to go to the beach but settled for the spray park for my son. We put on the ear bandit with putty ear covers and limited his time in the sprinklers. He loved the sprinklers and his ears stayed dry. The only problem we had was trying to get a 16 month old to understand he couldn't pull off the ear bandit.

Awesome in theory, slightly misleading
By Mom of 2 toddlers
from Louisville, KY
I was so excited to try this product for my children and for myself, to keep water out of our ears while swimming. The bands are comfortable, and can be put on tightly without feeling too tight. My only problem is that water would seep in from the sides, then get trapped by the band. It came with silicone plugs; I didn't realize that the band was designed to be used IN ADDITION TO plugs rather than INSTEAD of plugs.If you can stand something in your ears (ie, plugs), these bands will be wonderful in keeping the plugs in place.
Good

product was good. extremely slow shipping. for a small item and a $6 shipping fee, should not have taken 10 business days. ordered a second one from different website with more efficient, timely shipping.
Not really needed...
By Barbie H
from Kings Mountain, NC
The band does fit snug around my 6 year olds head & holds the putty buddy in, but it really isn't necessary. The putty itself is sticky so it stays in his ears well. The band is just a bit of a nuissance for him. I still make him wear the band when he first gets in. I usually let him take it off after a while if it is bugging him. It's not a bad product, just not a necessity...
I would buy this product again.

This product works well and stays in place on child's head. I didn't even have to fight my 3-year old grandson to wear the ear band in the pool.

It is the best for children with tubes. It allows them to enjoy water fun in the summer.
Must Have!!!
By Jess
from Mt Pleasant, MI
This product is a must for young swimmers...I have a son with ear tubes and this helps keep his ears dry when swimming (we also use ear plugs). I also purchased one for my other son (who doesn't have ear tubes) to help keep splashes out of his ears.
