otostickOtostick 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.

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 :-)

I purchased these originally thinking they were amazing. I was really impressed that there was a relatively affordable, decent option out there that actually worked.I got my first pack and some of them stuck well, others simply didn’t. I ended up wasting half the pack but I wasn’t too concerned just due to the fact that it was my first time trying out the product.I just received my second pack and literally none of them stuck to my skin. They had been kept in a cool place for over a week and my skin was washed and dry before application. I had to go through an entire pack and not a single one would remain on the skin. Long story short, bad batch.I personally wouldn’t bother with these anymore. £17 is absolutely ridiculous for a disposable product that doesn’t even work and has bad batches. I was fairly impressed with the first pack that I got, the second has just disappointed me.

They slightly noticeable from behind but if you have your hair down you can’t see them. These are great for use every now and then but I would not recommend using them all the time because they do damage to the ear. When I first used them they lasted 10 days but since using them my ears have gotten more sore and now they won’t stick for longer then 2 days. These really have helped my confidence but they are very overpriced and have hurt my ears.

Bought for daughter she says they are fabulous
