Mommys Helper Outlet Plugs,White 36 Count

After reviewing a ton of outlet plugs I just gambled on these plugs. From reviews of these and others it appears to be a bit of a gamble on any brand. For me in newer (80s plus) construction these fit very firmly and as some reviewers mention are almost too hard to get off. But they were pretty inexpensive but seem of solid quality. For the reviewer who mentioned them melting... I think that is a wiring/outlet problem. My outlets do not get that hot, would make me quite worried about potential fire risk. Overall these worked great and if I need more I will get these again.

I use these to keep bugs out of my apartment. I learned that roaches and bed bugs can travel thru apartment walls thru the electrical outlets so I put Harris diatomaceous earth into every outlet and wall switch that have outlets in them. I keep these mommy helpers in every empty outlet. I only remove them to plug in my hair dryer or such but I put the mommy’s helper right back in when I’m done. Better safe than bitten!

The first time I noticed outlet plugs, I saw various families use these:

My 2 1/2 year old cant take these off at all. They sit nicely in outlet. You kind of even have to use your nails just to get them out. Which isnt a big deal for moms! The only downside for me is the things that go inside break kind of easily if you arent careful where you put them when you use outlet when they arent in outlet. Either I step on one by accident. I would just make sure a little one doesnt get a hold of them when not being used. But they have never broke inside outlet when taking them out which is a very good thing! They give a ton in one package so I can just grab another if they break. I would probably order these again if I ever run out. Had them for a year or so and so far still have a few left.

Just what I needed. I was hoping they were white but I guess I didn’t read the description well enough. I like these because when you step on them by accident they don’t break easily. The plastic is rubbery and I like that I bought some previously and they were thicker and more expensive but the prongs were very brittle. I’m pulling them out often to vacuum and sometimes I step on them but I haven’t broke one of these yet so I’m happy

These are 36 to a pack, so I should have paid more attention to the description. Do not sit flush with the outlets and so can be pulled off without any effort. Im sure my 10 month old will be able to take them off easily.Also being translucent/almost transparent they also are interesting things to explore for my son. I was getting these to fill in for the ones that were missing. The older ones in my home sit flush and have a solid color that makes them less apparent targets. I need something flat to take those off. Its not worth the shipping back and so Im going to just get others.

This is one of those items where I just bought the cheapest I could find for a large quantity to cover as many outlets as I could. These worked just fine, no complaints. Not sure they are any better or worse than others... I mean it’s a plastic outlet cover...

If you have newer outlets then this will be a squeeze. These things will fit in rather tight which I understand you want that, but I think it is a bit more than it should. I have a couple other brands throughout the house and now that my 15 mo old is up and about, I needed to seal off most in the house. This is certainly the tightest fitting for newer outlets compared to Safety First and I forgot the other but they sell it in Buy Buy Baby. I would say these would be perfect for outlets that have been worn in or older. Think of it this way: if most or all the stuff you plugged into your target outlet have been loose or super easy to pull out, then get these. But if your outlets are new or the prongs hold in tightly, then I would go for the ones in Buy Buy Baby or Safety first. I used these for outlets I barely use and those that pose the most danger to my baby...otherwise, I use the others since they dont require a plastic knife or something to pry out. Id say if you have critical areas when you know you wont use frequently but the baby tends to find those outlets, then use these otherwise, have another brand handy in case you need to still have access to the outlet without using something to pry it off.

Helpful and simple. The kid cant stick things like fingers and utensils into the socket, your stress goes down. These arent the fancy protectors that do anything else but prevent them from accessing the 110 volts of danger lurking every few feet in your home. But thats all I really needed. Plus, they were a great price compared to what most stores are asking for. Arrived quickly and I was able to cover my entire house with just a couple packages. Only thing of note would be that when sockets were really close together, such as with a wall mounted surge protector, the protectors were a bit too wide to place them side by side. Not really the fault of the protectors though. A quick workaround was layering them on top of each other. For example, in a row of three, put the right and left one first, then the middle. You get the idea. Worked just fine. Yay safety!

I use these to cover any open, unused outlets on outdoor light strings. Other outlet covers have a bow-shaped cover, which can hold water. These are flat to keep the water out.
