About Us

At RunnersPutty, we believe your earbuds should work with you — not against you.

Born from real-world frustration, RunnersPutty was created for active people tired of their earbuds slipping out during runs, workouts, or even a brisk walk. We’re a small, Australian-owned business with one goal: to deliver a simple, effective solution that keeps your earbuds secure, no matter how hard you move.

Our reusable putty molds perfectly to your earbuds and ear, providing a soft, non-toxic grip that’s sweat-resistant, invisible when worn, and tough enough to go the distance.

Whether you're training for a marathon or just chasing a personal best, RunnersPutty helps make sure your gear keeps up.

Our Story

RunnersPutty started with one simple problem — my earbuds kept falling out on every run.

At around the 3 km mark, my right AirPod would slip. By 5 km, the left one would follow. It drove me nuts. I tried hooks, bands, different tips — nothing worked.

One day, my wife said, “Imagine if there was a putty that molded and held them in.” That was the spark. I spent months testing materials until I found one that’s skin-safe, reusable, and actually works.

It’s not a new material — but it’s a new solution to a very real problem. Now I package that solution and ship it from my home in the Northern Territory to customers across Australia and hopefully beyond.

Simple idea. Solid grip. Big difference.

Thanks for being part of the journey.
