The inner lining features a textured grip which helps to avoid slipping down the forehead. It is also more durable and provides more coverage.

Do you need soft moldable silicone ear plugs but unsure if you need original or floating Putty Buddies®?

The Original Putty Buddies® and Floating Putty Buddies® both act and feel the same way. The only difference is literally that one floats and one does not. You cannot go wrong with either choice. A lot of customers get the Floating Putty Buddies® when they don't want to risk losing their earplugs.
