Are they really get soft soaking in water? I have bought many similar ones at Amazon &amp; they were all too hard to use even soaked in the water.

I have only used the egg shaped ones and I find after the first wash, soaking in water makesine perfectly pliable. Soft enough to bounce on my face. Loving this and would definitely purchase again.

I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended.. It's not gonna seal ur ears completely.. Nothing's perfect. Just put them away and they dry themselves and ready to go again! Personally, I think it's a good pair of ear pieces for swimming out there.. Tried H2o, works great but feel very cheap and the sound quality is a major different! 1 tip, You need to find the perfect ear pieces and hooks for urself to have a good fit(the hooks breaks easily so be careful) I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended..

I really dont kno because I didnt actually put mine in water, I wiped it down real good. Only because, I didnt buy them to use I bought them for decoration and not to be touched...im sorry I couldnt help.

Well they're hollow, filled with air and a little air hole so when you squeeze them air escapes through the little hole. I imagine if you squeezed one while under water it would suck up water and you wouldn't be able to get it out again. I don't think of them as water toys.

Yes, you can get them wet but I don't know how much longer they would last or why you would wear them under water? I use them each summer on our deck with the family and they are the best. After use seal them in a plastic zip bag, and they are ready for the next day!

Ads claim "Splash-Resistant." I would not count on water resistant. I have the same problem with sea sickness. Bought this item with no guarantee. Within 1 hour I was very sick. As a matter of fact worse than I ever was before. It sits in my drawer never to be used again. Good luck!

Yes... however the drawback is that they will feel and stay wet against their skin, so I try and change them right away. The "stay-dry" ones work well for longer periods. Sometimes I use one of those with one of these underneath for extra absorbency. Hope that helps.

I've washed them at warm (washing machine setting) and cold rinse... but have also hand soaked/washed them in hot water... I've air dried and thrown them in the dryer on 'permanent pressed' setting... under any of these conditions, they have fairer very well.

depends on what you mean by dry. One persons opinion on something may not be the same for somone else.my opinion, they are not soaking wet. They are like the towelettes you would find at a KFC to wash your finger tips.BTW .... these wipes work great at keeping your glasses from fogging up.I hope this answers your question.

I've not ridden with them in the rain to speak of, but when I've cleaned the bike water retention was not an issue. They are denser than a sponge and not absorbent.

Yes! They don't work if you don't soak them. It is sort of like a water bath.

I prepped in hot water. I washed them 3 times. They were super absorbent. Im now 4 months in. My son is heavy "front" wetter so I use 2 inserts in his pocket diapers now.

So far which i've been using them for 2 months but I've always heard that they get softer after every wash, and it is true thus far! I like mine better now that they've been washed more :)

Sure, I basically just water them once a week. I let them soak in a big bowl of water for 1 hour and then take them out and allow them to dry on some paper towel or a washcloth for a couple hours (usually takes up to 4 hours to completely dry out). I've read on multiple sites that they should not be wet while in their shells. So far mine still look great! Oh and I keep them on a small desk in front of a west facing window. But I also have one in an east facing window, I'm sure they are fine as long as they are next to or close to any window.

I have used these for water fitness for years! They are AWESOME!! I buy the green ones, cut them into lengths of about 26 inches, tie a sturdy knot at the end - leaving a good amount of "tails". I try to dry them between classes, but after the talc washes off they stick. Putting more talc seems icky for the pool. I rinse, and towel dry, but after about 12 - 14 months of constant use 5-7 times a week, I need to toss them and make new ones. They get little black dots that have no surface but look weird. I thought it might be mold so I bleached them FOREVER and they were still there. But still, that is a lot of awesome arm and leg exercizing that I get for that year!

I tried washing mine yesterday as they've developed a bad smell, and for the 15 minutes I was trying to wash them, the black dye kept coming out endlessly, and my hands were completely black. In the end, I just got so tired of this process and lost hope. Today, they're semi-dry but streak black like crazy. The amount of dye is ridiculous, and instructions to hand wash are ridiculous as well. Horrible.
