> 3 dayPros : Simple and do the job well (stay in place and not easily removed by children). Its tough to beat this price. Clear-ish plastic that blends in with most any color painted outlet. Cons : Depending on the size of your house, you might need 2 packs, like I did. When attempting to remove one from an outlet, its not quite a circle you can grab anywhere. One side is round and the other is flat. If you put the flat side facing out towards the edge of the outlet, its really tough to remove it (like you might pull your fingernails out at the same time). So I advise putting the round side facing out so its easier to remove for an adult, but still tough enough for children to remove.

> 3 dayIt’s clear!! Yes that is a definite plus because it does not compromise the style of your home for the safety of little ones. I was super stoked when these arrived to find out how thin, transparent these were. The top part is flat so it’s easier to pull out. Just make certain you place it all the way in so that it is nearly flushed with the wall because the down side of it being easy to pull out is that little hands find it just as easy if not placed properly. I absolutely love the style of these, I would recommend and buy again.

Greater than one weekHelpful 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!

> 3 dayMy daughter is 8 months old and very active and getting into everything. She recently noticed the outlet on the wall and became obsessed with it so I knew it was time to cover those bad boys up. There is nothing overly special about these outlet covers, they are very basic. I do like that they are clear and they are difficult to get out. I mean if they were easy they wouldnt be doing their job. I have found if I use the prong from the vacuum I can get it out easier. I will keep my post updated as she gets older and her dexterity and strength improve and she can start removing them.

Greater than one weekThey keep little ones out of the socket. My child has never pulled them off but she hasnt really tried as they are a great deterrent. I have a hard time getting some of them off but thats the point. I would rather that than have my kid pull them off and have two hazards on my hands (a choking hazard and shocking hazard). *update: My now 2.5+ year old could get these off if she wants (it takes work) but she doesnt as they are a deterrent. If I take one off to vacuum she will unplug the cord and put it back in :) So starting early with these on makes it normal to the kid for them to be there.

Greater than one weekLarge number of plug covers to child proof your home or save money year round on heating and cooling. Conserve energy loss by restricting air flow through outlet boxes from outside, crawlspace or attic areas. Makes a difference in the insulation for winter heat or summer air economy. Use also in camper, boat, or RV to decrease air exchange and increase insulation in electrical plugs. The dual 36 packs for less than $9 will cover all your outlets with spares for your camper or boat.

> 3 dayThis is the second type of outlet protector I’ve purchased, and it’s by far the better of the two. There is no way for a baby to get these out of the wall. It’s difficult for me to get them out, and that’s exactly what I wanted. I only needed about 10 of these, but they came in a pack of 36, so I have plenty leftover to use for traveling. I highly recommend this product for protecting those precious little, curious babies.

> 3 dayMy son is 8 months and is at the stage where he enjoys pulling on cords and climbing on stuff. So he hasn’t tried to pull these out but I like that he can’t accidently put his finger in any outlets on the power strip of the wall. They lay pretty flush and even I had to take a little time to remove one. I also purchased the self-closing outlet covers for high traffic areas. So far I like the combo.

> 3 daySo I thought that maybe I would teach my 17 month old to respect the plug, that she could plug plugs into it but nothing else. She seems fascinated by putting this in there that she saw plugged in before (you know figuring out how to do things yourself). Well I havent really had to baby proof much as our furniture is pretty soft or round and we dont keep any sharp items or chemicals (eco friendly house) in little hands reach. Well, wouldnt you know, the plugs became less satisfying and of course little kids decide they want to test out what can go in there, if they can stick their finger in their - or even the wrong ends of some plugs, and even things that have been in their mouths, and of course testing the No theory by their parents. So, needless to say we have to get these plugs. I had considered giving this 4 stars because I do find them a little difficult at times to take out myself, but I decided against that and went for 5 because on the other hand I really like that they are difficult to take out because it means my little one will not be able to pry them out. They are not fancy, and why should they be? They are also fairly clear (a little foggy looking) so you dont even really notice they are there. That way child still may want to put things in but will be unsuccessful and in our experience just move on. This box comes with 36 plugs (enough for many many outlets). They do hurt if you step on them though so watch out. Also, can be a chocking hazard if your little one starts to put it in their mouth. I would buy again and strongly recommend this.
