otostickTWIN PACK - Instant Correction for Prominent Ears

My daughter loves these, and got her through a dance show with her hair scraped back without any self consciousness. You need to clean and dry the place where they stick to make sure they stay on, and replacing them means you have to do this more to clear the old adhesive, but easy enough to do and a great replacement or temporary solution for those awaiting surgery or not keen to go through it. They work well, are mostly invisible. But they do cost a bit. Expect one pair to last no more than 4 days.

I've never before posted a product review, but I feel so strongly about this fabulous product that I wanted others to know! For the first time in 30 years I am now enjoying wearing my hair up, and showing off my earrings. The stickers are fiddly to apply, but certainly possible to do without help so long as you clean the skin properly, tie any hairs well out of the way, and take your time applying. The first pair I applied made my ears really ache after 24hrs. I removed those and applied the next pair higher up on my ears - on the top corner of the sticky-out bit! This has proved to be much more comfy - 4 days so far and no aching at all..... So it's worth persevering if the first pair or two don't quite work out. I know they're expensive, but what price self-confidence?!

So my issue is a mixture of deep conchal bowl and underdeveloped helical fold. Not the typical "bat" ear that I believe this product is most ideal for.Positives: these things are strong, they hold back the ear and really do give you more confidence day to day. They last a good 4-6 days. Perhaps longer if you are careful during application and usage. They are well designed. You can wear glasses with them on. Pricey but compared to the £3500 ish quoted for surgery they're a bargain. Still think there should be a cheaper alternative, it's a bit of plastic with adhesive! But I guess it rules the market currently.Cons: super expensive if you keep screwing up application after application. Difficult to peel backing (with acrylic nails!) - I use a tweezer to try not to lose the sticky whilst struggling to peel it! Annoyingly you can't really tuck your hair behind your ears as the otostick "bridge" is in the way. A little paranoid to scrape my hair back in case people notice them. If they start to peel and I am out and about, I start worrying about them coming off or the ear coming out again.Overall, it's nice to have them as an option. But if I could afford, I would have surgery and never have to think about my ears ever again :)

Although they do not always last the week and it is expensive to keep purchasing these do work really well and give my the confidence to wear my hair up which I love being able to do now after having to either have my hair down or use my hair to pull my ears back. Abit tricky to figure positioning to begin with but easy to use once you get the hang of it

A little expensive but excellent product

Although I love these as my ear has always been a big insecurity of mine, only getting 8 in a pack for the price is very unaffordable as it takes quite a few to get the hang of it. If you place it wrong or it gets caught on your hair you have to get a new one out. I think if you’re paying over £15 for one pack you should definitely get more for the money. They are just adhesive stickers after all.

I have been ordering this product for last few years. However, the last time I ordered the adhesive quality has gone down dramatically. It doesn’t even stay on the ears and it just peels off. Bear in mind I do exactly the same thing with it as I was doing before. Either they are using some different cheap adhesive or just not putting enough. Very disappointed as it was my favourite product

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 :-)
