Otostick Cosmetic Ear Correctors

With the help of a family member, I put my Otosticks on for the first time last night. It was like a revelation. You're probably only reading these reviews because you're conscious, as I am, about sticking out ears but You're ready for surgery. Like me, you probably held your ears back in the mirror and wished they would stay in that position. With these Otosticks it's like a miracle, you hold them back for a few seconds and they don't return to the sticky-out position! I put them on just before bed last night and as describe, my Otostick stayed in position over night and survived my shower this morning. I don't expect to get seven days out of them, however I'd be happy with one or two days for special occasions when I feel my ears will look obtuse in photographs. The only negatives I can find is that someone has to help you put them on. Like me, you might be very private about your protruding ears and allowing someone to stick them back might feel intrusive. I have had no discomfort, however I forgot to factor in that I am a full-time glasses wearer when I chose this product. All this means is that my Otosticks are placed further down my ear and because of this have a slightly decreased result had I been able to place them higher where the legs of my glasses rest. My only other gripe would be that the protective backing is quite hard to remove and touching the adhesive will automatically limit its effectiveness to stay in place for as long as it should. Overal I am more than happy with the product. Who would have thought such a simple silicon adhesive could have such a massive impact on someone self-confidence. They are quite pricey but this reflects the quality and design of the product.

The sticker works very well I’m pleased with them

These used to be great years ago. Now they are absolutely terrible. They used to last at least a week. Now the stickiness wears off within 3 days. Making it very expensive if you want to wear them often. Really disappointed as used to love these. Completely wasted my money

I first discovered Otostick after googling the cost of having my ears surgically pinned and nearly fell off the chair at the cost...i thought there must be something cosmetic out there ...and there was! Product details - I first ordered a single pack to try and have since bought more. You get 8 in a pack so 4 uses (if you need for both ears) personally each use has lasted me about a week, begore the edges start to become less effective and peel away. Using them - Each is a small bean shaped, silicone adhesive with 2 parts, part 1 sticks to the back of your ear and part 2 sticks to the side of your head and holds your ear back. The adhesive is quite strong and I have showered in them, washed my hair and slept in them without any issues. Personally I have had help putting them on to get them in the right place for my ears but mainly because my hair line behind my ears is quite low, so i pull my hair and skin back while my husband sticks them on. There is a paper stick on each part that you peel away to reveal the adhesive which can be a bit tricky. They are clear when you peel the paper so are hardly visible, people I've told I'm wearing them have said they wouldn't have known or seen them if I hadn't pointed them out. How they feel - The first time you put them on you can feel them slightly but not uncomfortably, after a day or so I literally couldn't feel them and now I forget I've got them on. Tips - My main tips are try to keep your hair away when you put them on because if it gets caught it does pull when you take them off. They do need a good pull to get them off and they do leave a bit if a sticky residue which can be removed by soapy water or something oil based. When they are ready to be replaced I take them off the night before just to let the skin breath underneath and put new ones on in the morning after my shower (making sure the area is clean and dry) In summary - They have literally changed my life, I've been wearing my hair up more and trying different styles that I felt I weren't able to to do before, I used to style my hair around my ears but now I don't have to. Anyone who feels their ears stick out will understand the challenges and emotional challenges you feel. To be able to 'Just put your hair up' is something you dream of. Otostick have helped me make it a reality and I love them. Problem is im now addicted and not sure I can live without them :-)

6 out of my 8 ear correctors snapped in less than a day of me putting them on. You have to be very careful putting on glasses or taking off a t shirt as they are quite fragile. As For the stickiness of the ear corrected I was very surprised. Only one of them came unstuck and this was after several days of use, no faults there. I experienced mild irritation of the skin beneath the earcorrecterd on both my ear and on my head, an itch I wouldn’t able to scratch. Aswell as mild aching of the cartalidge of my ear as it was held in a bent position by the ear corrected. Both of these issues didn’t bother me much though. Ear correctors remain the only alternative solution to having your ears surgically pinned back which is very expensive, and these are a decent price. I would suggest to the manufacturers that the small plastic cylinder that connects the two sticky disks together to be made much thicker and stronger, so that the ear correctors last much longer.

I was really excited to find out about these as I was bullied so much about my ears sticking out I refused to put my hair up and I am always swiping my hair over my ears to cover them. So I bought these. I got my mum to put them on for me I was almost crying at the result (with joy) but my hair got stuck in them and they lasted about an hour. My boyfriend took it off for me and it ripped the skin off my ear, causing it to bleed. I waited for my ear to heal and out them on myself for the second time. They are extremely hard to apply and my hair seems to be the problem here, I was even considering shaving my hair around my ears to get them to stick better, (I did go to the hair dresser to get this done but she told me to wait a while and only shaved a small portion at the back to see if I would like it or not thinking about going back to get a full under cut done...) You also have to make sure that the area behind your ear is extremely clean and dry. For me that area gets extremely hot when I am stressed too and it makes it harder for them to stick. Only 3 out of the 16 pairs I had worked for more than 2 days for me, but, the feeling you get when you have them on right is amazing. I couldn't help look at myself in the mirror with my hair up and smile! Going to the gym was really good too as I was that embarrassed about my ears I used to wear my hair in a way that would cover it which wasn't the best but with these, I could wear my hair up with confidence, resulting in a much more comfortable and effective work out. I want to buy them again but I am just cautious that they are a little bit pricey for what they are and if you can't do it properly then you are basically just throwing your money in the bin. So as a round up to this review, you just need to try it out for yourself and see if they are worth it for you. Which, if I could apply them properly without my hair getting in the way and they would stay on for at least 2 weeks like some people are saying in the reviews, then they would be 100% worth it!

This tiny amazing product has changed my life for the better !!! I bought these A couple of months ago and and did not want to leave a review until I had chance to wear them for a couple of months so I could give a honest & full review. I have to get someone else to fit them, but I prob could do it myself but I have not tried... I have two issues with my ears they stick out and also I have a condition called bat ears( which where the top part of the ear is flat rather than turned over) The otostick cannot rectify the bat ears but the part where my ears stick out They can. For years when I was younger I bullied about my ears which made me really paranoid about them and I would never not in a million years worn my hair up for fear of people taking the Micky out of me,but one day changed my life for ever my hairdresser was doing a assessment and part of it she had to put someone's hair like for a wedding and she asked me if it was ok ? So on the spur of the moment I said yes there was no one else in the hairdressers and my hairdresser knew how I felt about my ears and when she had done my hair looked amazing I have never had my hair put up due to my protruding ears. I had been to see plastic surgeons in the past about them but it is not cheap and could afford the op. I went home after my experience at the hairdressers I thought there must be something out there that could help with my ears so I went on the internet and and did a search and these came up and the reviews where good. So I thought nothing ventured nothing gained. And I have never looked back. When I 1st wore them my ears felt a little bit tender and slightly bruised only for a few days ,but now after a couple of month I cannot even tell I am wearing them, I wear them all the time changing them every 10 to 14 days. Or if they staring to come off but that has been rare. I have just spent 11 days in Spain and in either the pool or in the sea every day and they only came off after 7 days which I thought I was rather good !!! And the plus point I could wear my hair up the whole of the time in Spain which I have never felt confident in the past without feeling that people are staring at my ears, If you like me have spent your life feeling scared about putting your hair up or if you are male and don't like your ears sticking out then I would highly recommend this product!!!

Son uses this make regularly good value and quality

Excelente producto

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.

Super goede oorstickers. Ik kan ze doorgaans 14 dagen houden voor het vervangen, zelfs met douchen of meermaals haar wassen. Voor mij zijn dit de beste klevers.

It doesn't stick at all!! Super small package and very few useless items inside!!! Very disappointed.

Did not work at all!
