Otostick Baby - 8 Count Discreet Protruding Ear Corrector for Babies with Protective Baby Cap - Orthopedic Items for Permanent Correction of Large Ears from 3 Months of Age

I never write these but I read over lots of mixed reviews about this product and not upon using them myself I think I can shed light to potential buyers. A light that is hard to find between so many "love them" "hate them" reviews. First let me say I have had no problems with them at all. My daughter has plaguocephaly meaning she always slept with her head turned to one side and being a first time mom I didn't notice and issue until one of her ears started to stick out on the side she slept on from being folded. Like alot more... so i bought these despite bad reviews to at least try. I believe this is a great product intended to do what it says, i also believe it is not for every baby. I clean the area with an alcohol prep pad and let dry and it stays 7 days before I remove it. By the 7 days it is not hard to take off with a q tip and coconut oil. She doesn't seem to notice when it's on or when I remove it. However I was nervous the first time that shed hate it grab her ears and be uncomfortable as I'm sure some babies would. It depends on the baby. IF this had happened it's TRUE it would be very very hard to remove right after application and most likely make the baby upset. I think it's one if those things you have to take the risk and try if it's that important to you but i dont think that it has anything to do with a product flaw, it's just for some and not others. That being said it's been 3 weeks and i dont know how well they actually correct ears over time but I do feel better seeing her ears match again when she has one on.

My first child has protruding ears. When my second child was about a month old, his right ear started protruding. I looked into various options to correct protruding ears. Most were expensive and required the baby to wear a visible device on their ears. I read mixed reviews on Amazon for this Otostick. I did some further research. I found a study on this product, that showed that when used for 12 months, most users were satisfied with the degree of correction of the protruding ears. I started using this product on the right ear when my baby was 6 weeks. Another reviewer mentioned that they trimmed the sticky surface area for their baby. I did this for the entire 12 months; it was definitely necessary to trim the product when the baby was so small. I used an alcohol prep pad prior to application. I left the otostick on until it started coming off. This was anywhere from a week to a month. I monitored the skin for redness. The otostick is clear which make monitoring easy. Occasionally, I noticed some redness after the sticker started to come off. I would leave it off for a day or two if there was any redness. I always used adhesive remove to remove the otostick when they started to come off. The left ear started protruding when the baby was approximately 12 weeks and I began using otostick on that side as well. For the right ear, I used otostick for a full 12 months. I used it for about 8 months on the left ear. I am super happy with the results. My baby’s ears do not protrude. I am guess that the earlier in baby’s development that this product is used, the higher likelihood of favorable results. This was a low cost, virtually invisible way to correct ear protrusion. Also of note, I never used the enclosed bonnet. I highly recommend this product. Make sure to use an alcohol prep pad before applying and have medical adhesive remover pads on hand to remove the product when it starts to come off!

This product was incredibly disappointing. I used it for the first six months of my baby's life, but it had no effect at all. It's overpriced for what amounts to just a piece of tape that doesn't hold up well. I expected much better for the price, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable solution.

I get the concept however it did not work well with my baby. Baby had irritation around the ear and inflammation after using this. Extremely difficult to stick on especially for a waddling baby. If you stick it in the wrong way OR the sticker sticks onto each other, then you no longer can use it. And I consider this pretty expensive!!

No sé si le ha ayudado lo que sí sé es que le previno de que se saltara una orejita más, yo se lo puse desde los 3 meses, ojalá se lo hubiera puesto desde los dos, pegan muy bien por lo que recomiendo hacerlo cuando está dormidos con las manos limpias y ellos recién bañados y que esté seca el área, para quitar esta un poco difícil por lo mismo de que pegan bien que es para mí lo importante, ayuda mucho poner aceite y poco a poco ir despegando, si lo haces de jalón y sin paciencia obviamente se les irrita pero en eso yo no he tenido problema lo hago también cuando está dormido y con un cotonete bañado en aceite y le voy poniendo empujando poco a poco tratando de que le entre aceite al pegamento y lo dejo un rato para que solito se vaya despegando. Si lo recomiendo
