Yes, Otostick is 100% compatible with glasses, the arms of the glasses fit directly over the central connector of the Otostick.

Otostick correctors are suitable for children over 3 years of age. Otostick Baby can be used from 3 months old.

Otostick may be too large for some 3-6 year olds, the smaller Otostick Baby corrector may be a better fit for older children and some adults, it depends on each person and in particular the size of the ear and hardness of the cartilage.

 Otostick Baby is smaller, more flexible and fits perfectly on smaller, softer ears.

 Which Otostick corrector to use is ultimately your decision (always observing the minimum age of use of 3 months for Otostick Baby and 3 years for Otostick Original), as it depends on the characteristics of each user’s ears.

Immune responses can cause a change in the pH of the skin, either short-term or continuous, so things such as a simple cold, a high temperature or any type of short-term illness, including the teething period in babies, in all these cases the sticking ability of Otostick can be affected.

Apart from the specific situations explained in the rest of the questions, CORRECT PLACEMENT of Otostick is the most important factor to get the best performance from Otostick.

Each box contains 8 correctors, that is 4 pairs. In addition, Otostick Baby comes with a cap to prevent baby from pulling at their ears or accidentally removing the correctors as they are small and could present a choking hazard to babies and small children.

The usual duration is between 3 and 7 days, but we have clients who have found they can remain in place for up to 15 days.

When first using Otostick, there may be an “Adaptation Period”.  It can take time to find the best or most comfortable position to apply Otostick when you do not have enough practice or knowledge of all the steps to follow.

 For ears with the hardest cartilage, it may take longer to adapt to a position different, so it is often necessary to increase the time each corrector is in place gradually.

In addition to following all the application steps indicated, it is advisable to keep in mind that babies have a more variable skin PH, especially during periods of teething or illness. Also, when it comes to placing baby Otostick correctly, little ones are much more restless, in these cases it is advisable to place the correctors while baby sleeps.

Otostick is 100% resistant to water and sweat, if the corrector has been applied following all the optimal placement indications.

Once applied, we suggest you allow at least 4 hours before playing sports or wetting the corrector.

In the case of ears with a very hard cartilage, It is possible that the time wearing Otostick may have to be increased gradually, what we call an "Adaptation Period"..  For example, on the first use it is possible that you can wear the corrector 24 hours and then the ear begins to ache. If this happens remove the corrector and apply another the following day, you should find that it remains comfortable for longer. After a few days you will not notice that you are wearing it.

It should be clarified that this usually only happens in cases of hard cartilage, since it takes more to reposition it from its usual position.

We recommend moisturising the skin each time you remove Otostick, letting the area rest between 12 and 24 hours before applying another, and keeping it hydrated during this period. We recommend using a suitable hydrogel, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

After each break, hydrate the area, then clean well with an astringent cleanser (not a moisturising or crème-type) before applying a new corrector, ensure the skin is clean, dry and free of any oil or moisture.

1. Clean the area with an astringent product.  We recommend an alcohol-based cleanser, do not use moisturising or crème-type cleansers.

2.  Without removing the protective papers from the corrector, identify the exact point where Otostick is to be applied.

3. Remove the protective paper from the side that goes onto the ear and stick to the ear first.

4. Once Otostick is attached to the ear, remove the protective paper from the other side, and press the ear back against the head, taking great care not to leave hair underneath.

5. Hold the ear against the head firmly for a few seconds so that the adhesive adheres correctly.

Recommendations:

1.  Once the corrector is glued and held down for a few seconds, press down around the edges with a fingertip or nail.

2.  Wait 4 hours from the time of application before:

•   Wetting the corrector.

•    Practicing sports or activities that involve sweating.

•   Wearing a mask or glasses, which may pull or rub the corrector.

3.  To remove the corrector, if you decide to remove it when it is still perfectly adhered: It is advisable to use a cotton bud dipped in olive or baby oil and bathe the edges of the corrector. Wait a few minutes for the oil to get under the edges of the corrector, removal will then be very simple, without any effort.

4.  Between the removal of a corrector and applying a new one, it is advisable to let the skin rest for a period of 12-24 hours. In this period of rest, hydrate the area with your usual moisturizing product.

5.  Although we have hydrated the area while resting: DO NOT FORGET THAT OILS AND GREASINESS ON THE SKIN ARE THE GREATEST ENEMY OF OTOSTICK. Therefore, when we apply  the next corrector, we must make sure that we the area is 100% free of grease and oils by cleaning it very well again with an astringent cleanser (such as 70º alcohol).

As the shape and size of each ear is totally different:

OTOSTICK® is indicated for all users from three years of age.

OTOSTICK® BABY, is indicated from three months. Depending on the size of the ear and in the event that OTOSTICK® after placement is too large for the user, OTOSTICK® BABY can be used regardless of the age of the user.

Otostick Baby — a gentle, non-surgical option

Otostick Baby is a cosmetic ear corrector made from silicone and medical-grade adhesives. It adheres to the ear and the adjacent part of the head, gently holding the ear in a natural, comfortable position while worn.

Otostick Baby is small, flexible and designed to fit the delicate ears of babies from 3 months of age.

During the early years, ear cartilage is still soft and developing — making this a good time to encourage natural ear positioning without surgery. Otostick Baby supports this gently and non-invasively while worn.

It is also helpful during the early months when babies have limited neck strength and head movement may cause the ear to fold forward. Otostick Baby keeps the ear comfortably positioned during this period.

STUDY OF OTOSTICK BABY CORRECTIVE EFFICACY. (link)

The creator of Otostick is a Spanish woman, Francisca Gamero Pérez.

Francisca was looking for a solution to correct the excessive prominence of her young daughter's ears. She identified that this problem was due to the posture that the ears adopted when the little girl slept. She looked for an effective solution but found  nothing. From that moment on, Francisca began to create a product that was comfortable, discreet and offered a real solution. With the help of the Universities of Extremadura and Alicante, in addition to the knowledge of numerous experts in adhesives and engineering, she created Otostick, an aesthetic corrector that provides an effective solution for prominent or protruding ears.
