I'm down to my last clean pair and I'd love to not have to buy a ton more of these down the line. They're essential for any time I end up at a music-centric event, or really most events that include music. I'll be scrolling through the earplug recommendations in this community too

Ofc, it's a cost/benefit thing. Even though most of it's gone with the wipe down, some of it might remain and then your ear canal could get infected if it disrupts production of ear wax; however, if you can't sleep without them, well, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

A better answer would be to get something else
