Where can I find child-size Ear Planes?

[Belle5]

I need them within the week and can't find the child-sized ones anywhere this year. Where can I look? TIA~!

I have seen them at Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens. Maybe they are just out where you looked?

I think we finally found them at Rite Aid. Walgreens and Bartells didn't have the kid-sizes. Normally we order from drugstore.com but didn't have the time.

CVS is the only place I can ever find them. I've checked Target, supermarkets, Walgreens, etc. and never had any luck.

www.onestepahead.com sells them specifically made for children. They have a great selection of unique children's travel items.

I heard CVS carries them but we don't have any by us. The only spot I could find them is at the airport giftshop. I actually called up the closest airport giftshop to us (30 mile drive) & found out they carried them. I ran down there immediately to pick them up since I didn't want to take a chance on them selling out before our flight.

I really didn't think I would have a hard time finding the kids size either so I waited too long & couldn't order them online. I just don't understand why everyone carries the adult/universal size but not kids size--frustrating!

Hope you have luck finding them!

I have to use the adult ones. My Target didn't have them. The local supermarket chain did, Wegmans. It's only in the NE though. The kids ones were right next to the adult ones. My advice is just to keep looking at every store. I swear even from one store to the next you'll find something different!

Good luck!!

You may have to call around to see who has them in-stock as they tend to disappear during the summer travel months.

Personally, I think the old flight attendant trick of paper towels saturated with very warm water (NOT hot water) placed in plastic drinking cups and positioned over the ears is a cheaper and more effective way to equalize air pressure during the climb.

Either that, or get them to chew a large wad of bubble gum (but not to the point of it becoming a choking hazard). The mascination (chewing) causes the ends of the eustacian tubes to open (and equalize air pressure with a "pop").
