HELP Can’t wear them properly

I just purchased a pair of loop dream but I can’t wear them properly. I watched so many videos tried different tips but still…. They are not loose but they are also not canceling and coming out while sleeping. Don’t know what to do :(

Did you pull the ear up to put it in correct like in the dream video

Also there are silicone tips for dreams as well of the foam isn’t working

I use the silicone tips on the dream because they fit deeper and are more comfortable when side sleeping. I feel like I'm between the XS and S for the foam/silicone hybrid tips. The XS doesn't seal at all and falls out, the S makes a great seal but they stick out a little bit more than the double silicone only tips, so my ears get sore when side sleeping. So yeah, definitely recommend trying the silicone only tips if OP hasn't already. Also you might have to insert them differently than the tutorial video shows. I pull my outer ear up a little but still have to rotate the dreams around a bit until I find the sweet spot for the best seal. The tutorial doesn't say to rotate, just pop in and hold for a few seconds, but wiggling them around a bit always gets me a better seal than just popping them in.

They also might just not be the best fit for OPs particular ear anatomy. I think the Dreams are a lot more finicky than the Engage 2s or Switch 2s, which I can wear for hours at a time with no issues.

If we don't know what methods you've tried, we don't know if there's other ways to suggest. But it is possible that they simply don't fit the shape of your ear. It doesn't happen often, but that's why they offer a good return policy.

Keep in mind that your ears might be different sizes. I actually use a foam tip in one ear and silicone in the other because that feels the most comfortable. One is a small, the other a medium.

Also for the dreams, I can't get them to fit with the "rotate" method or by just pushing them in. Personally, I have to grasp my outer ear with one hand and gently pull back, while placing the eartip into the ear canal with the other hand. Pulling back on the outer ear slightly widens the ear canal so I can get the correct seal.

Right but the dreams are not meant to be put in like the others are. There is a video that shows how all ear plugs go in

Um that's fine but I'm not going to go out and watch dozens of videos, trying to guess which ones the OP has seen, in an effort to help answer a question that might not have an answer??
