Otostick - 8 Count Cosmetic Discreet Protruding Ear Corrector - Corrective Ear Care Products for Ear Pinning Without Surgery from 3 Years of Age

So I bought these about a week ago mainly because when I wear a baseball cap it touches the top of my ears and causes my ears to stick out through my hair -- which is a huge pet peeve of mine lol. I was cautiously optimistic, considering these things are usually gimmicky. Well I received them in this cute little plastic container and followed the instructions to a t... Cleaned both the back of my ears and the place on my scalp where the other side of the tape would go with a makeup remover wipe. Placed the tape to the back of my ear first, then pressed my ear against my scalp for about 30 seconds to a minute, let go and oh my goodness it worked. I have slept, showered and worked out with these in place -- forgetting they are even there. I'm now on day 8 and I've only had to change one because I didn't like where I originally placed it. It was NOT easy to remove either. Love these so much I placed another order 5 days ago.

I have used this product for I think about six years now, and it was a long process of trial and error getting them right, but I love using it, and wear it for special events I need to go to and they last for about two weeks. So I am going to share these tips with anyone using these so you don't have to make the same mistakes I had in the past or waste the product. Most people on here are saying that the Otostick only lasts for about 1 to 4 days before they start to experience soreness, pain, or it comes off. Mine usually last for about two weeks with no issues, so here is how to get them to last: 1. Take a shower. Girlies, you might as well get in a hair shower before putting on the otostick. It'll save you having to take as many hair showers with the otostick on, and it'll help cleanse the area where the adhesive sticks. 2. First, clip your hair out of the way! That includes baby hairs, which can get under the otostick and prevent them from sealing all the way, making them not last as long. You can place the otostick with its paper still on onto your ear to try to find a good spot where it isn't touching hair. 3. Cleanse the areas that the adhesive sticks to with alcohol. Let it dry. 4. Another product you can buy that helps a lot with the adhesive staying on is the JOBST "It Stays!" roll-on body fixative. Roll this onto your ear and head where the adhesive will go after you put the rubbing alcohol on ears. 5. I use two mirrors angled in a way that I can see the back of my ear when applying the otostick. First, peal off the paper on the side that is going on your ear. Do not peal off the other side yet. Try not to touch the sticky part. 6. Place the otostick onto your ear with the indented side facing forward and the curved back side following the curve of the back of your ear. MAKE SURE not to place the otostick too far down into the crevice where the ear meets your head, as this will cause pain later on. But also make sure NOT to have the sticky part attach to the very edge of the ear so that it curves around the outside lip of the ear. If the otostick isn't on something flat, and is on something that curves, the edges will lift sooner. There is a sweet spot to put the otostick that may be different for everyone. 7. Once you have the first side of the otostick attached, press hard on in and wait a few minutes. Then, take off the paper covering the adhesive on the other side to attach to your head. Now this part is important: DO NOT force the placement of this side. All you have to do is take your hand and press with a flat palm on your ear and wherever it naturally attaches to your head is where it should go! This is a mistake many people do and it leads to really painful soreness because they are forcing their ear to be put in a position it is not used to and it pulls on the ear skin. After adhering, press and hold the sticky part down to make sure it seals properly. 8. Repeat this process on the other ear. IMPORTANT: if your otostick starts to lift to wehere it is forming an air bubble opening to the outside, take them off immediately! If you keep them on, with sweat and showers, it can create a moist environment for bacteria to grow underneath. And then you will take them off and it will smell bad and be raw because the bacteria was basically eating away at your ear skin. This is a good product if you know how to use it, but be smart because infections anywhere near your head or cranial orifices is always a bad idea.

These things DO NOT WORK Do not purchase it. They do not stick, of anything, it only stays for a few minutes before ungluing again

Great adhesive taking showers exercising and still adhered to my skin, no doubt it was a great purchase

They stay well on and work great, my only issue is the fact that they’re $23 too much for something you can only use 4 times.

good

I've used these for a bit and they work well but I've had a few that didn't stick. And the price is a little steep for what they are. I wish it was more reasonable or came with more in the pack.

These are absolutely perfect if you have protruding ears. 1 set lasts about 2 weeks. I now have a subscription. Its much cheaper than the 6k surgery.
