Place and press
Place the ear seed on the clean, dry spot and press gently.
Placement and fit
Choose a clean, dry spot on intact outer-ear skin, away from the ear canal and any fresh piercings. Check that glasses, headphones or hearing protection sit comfortably without pressing on the patch.
Remove the patch if it loosens or you notice pain, itching, redness or swelling. Let irritated skin recover before applying another patch. Seek medical advice if symptoms continue or worsen.
How to remove ear seeds
With clean, dry hands, gently lift one edge of the patch and peel it back slowly while supporting the skin. Avoid pulling on the decoration. Discard the used patch and check that the bead came away with it.
If a bead enters the ear canal, leave it in place and get medical help for removal. NHS guidance on objects in the ear
Care questions
How long can I leave ear seeds on?
Check the maximum wear time for your exact design. Remove the patch sooner if it becomes loose or uncomfortable.
Can I shower, swim or work out with ear seeds?
Check the instructions for your design before exposing it to water or sweat.
Can I sleep with ear seeds on?
Check whether your design allows overnight wear. Remove the patch if it presses into your ear or feels uncomfortable.
Can I reuse an ear seed?
Use a fresh ear seed and patch each time. Discard any patch you have removed or dropped.
If your instructions leave any of these questions unanswered, contact AURI before wearing the design.
