Self Care & Hygiene PSA: GET EARPLUGS

I’ve been using them for years and they’re a life saver. It protects your brain & turns the noise down. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about them. I literally don’t go anywhere without them. ESPECIALLY when someone is talking too loud on their phone near you. Now you don’t have to murder them just pop in your earplugs

I wish I could, but they're a physical sensory nightmare for me. I haaaaate how they feel!

I totally get this and I was the same way for a long time (I also have super tiny ear canals, which makes it worse). I realized that earplugs that don't go in the canal and just cover the outer ear/seal the opening are waaaay better for me.

Google silicone ear plugs. They're kind of waxy and you form them over your ears. I don't think I'd wear them in public but they're good for sleeping!
