Is it a stress reliever? Although they often belong on the desk!

In a sense, though probably not how you're thinking.

To me a consumable is something the average house might be likely to buy and use on a regular basis.

Would this description of the item be accurate.

If you mean like used up, like toothpaste, then no.
Used until it needs replacing, yes.

Is it a marital aid in the sense that it can be given to a spouse as a token of affection?

Does the item weight more than one pound?

No.
Very no.

Would one usually use two of these at the same time?

Yes.

Got it. But I am about to go on vacation for a few days, so someone else will have to give the answer.

I simply quote the immortal Spike Milligan "Are you going to come quietly , or...."

Do you know I sold Spike Milligan a cabbage once in my Saturday job before going to University many years ago. He lived in Hastings.

You only got part of it

What's the adjective?
.... why does the picture look like it does... does that help wit the function...?

Custom?

I've got it, too, but I'm unsure of trans-Atlantic terminology.

Moldable?

Can you use these for hearing protection when you target practice with a large caliper rifle?

Not custom, and yes they are the normal sort of moldable/mouldable foam things.
I think it says -25dB on the packet, but we aren't allowed guns so can't comment on that.

The odd thing which makes these useful for the "context mentioned" should be derivable from the original photo and information provided soon after.... though I'll have to explain the link I expect.
So if I were looking for replacements I'd be looking for the right adjective....

Any guesses?
