I use the foam plugs too - and actually they kind of squirmed out of the ear canal this last time.

That's because of the way they were inserted. We have this problem all the time with folks new to wearing foamies.
Roll them down to a thin, compressed plug right before inserting, reach over the head with the opposite hand & gently pull up on the top of the ear & screw the compressed plug in, don't push it. After a couple of seconds you'll feel the plug expand, seal the ear canal & start trapping sound, then you're ready to go. If it starts to expand before you have it all the way in just re-roll it & do a repeat.
