Im always a bit dubious of putting drops etc into my ears as its not a particularly nice feeling, and when I used SwimSeal it’s the same as putting any other drops in your ears but this feeling doesn’t last long and to be honest you don’t even notice anything there after a few minutes. It only takes 2-3 drops and it’s done. I had to persuade my daughter to use the drops after I had and hoped her ears would be better after this swim than our other previous swims.
