otostickCosmetic Ear Correctors

From a long time user of these.Make sure you completely wash behind your ears first. Dry them fully. Once dry get a hair dryer and further dry the back of your ears.. warm your ears up (they stick better)If you clean properly and warm before applying they will last ages. When you shower bend over so your head is kind of upside down and wash your hair so they don’t get soaked.After a week or so they will slowly start to peel in places but again use a hair dryer, get them warm and then hold them for around 20 seconds and they will be firm again.If you don’t do these steps they will come off quicker but with clean, dry and warm ears when applied they will stay on me showering without getting them so wet will allow you up to two weeks with them. Great product

The idea of this product is fantastic and I was so excited to receive them after having insecurities with my ears for all of my life. The feeling after applying them was amazing - being able to see my ears pinned back for the first time in my life and being able to go into work with my hair styled in a new and completely different way. However, I had to apply a new sticker the morning after I woke as it had come off. The same one then came off later in the day at work and I noticed the opposite side had done the same. So all in all I would’ve needed to go through 4 of them in 24 hours which is terrible value for money. I read some reviews which stated theirs lasted for a week but this wasn’t the case for me…maybe due to the weather being so warm. I prepped the area as advised in the instructions and made sure that all of my hair was out of the way.

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’ve probably purchased Otostick hundreds of times over the years and spent hundreds of pounds and honestly, they’ve been a complete game-changer for me.I’ve always struggled with my ears sticking out, and for years I avoided wearing my hair up because I felt so self-conscious. But thanks to Otostick, I finally feel confident enough to wear any hairstyle I want. They’ve truly given me a new level of freedom and self-esteem.It did take a little time to get used to applying them properly, but now I’ve perfected the technique. One pair usually lasts me about a week, and a full pack lasts me around a month, which I think is really good value considering the impact they’ve had on my life.They’re not completely invisible, but honestly, that doesn’t bother me at all, they give me the confidence I’ve always wanted. If you struggle with your ears like I did, I can’t recommend these enough. You won’t regret trying them! :)
