Sometimes my office can get loud especially when people have “spirited” conversations. It doesn’t help when I need to be in meetings while others are loud. But, at times, I would need to listen into their chats in case it involves me. This is when I use the Loop earplugs along with the Shokz and it works quite well. I can concentrate on my call or my work but still be able to pay attention to other’s conversations if I need to.

I’m a 42 y/o dude, not a mom, but I’m right there with you. My friend and I would walk along the aisle by the side of the building to see what kind of junk they have for sale at the endcaps. Then hit up the electronics and nerd stuff, like Funkos and new movie releases. Finally walk down the food section to pick up groceries. All the while with some drinks in hand. We usually avoid the clothing section unless we need something.
