CauliBuds™ Cauliflower Ear Magnets - Premium Silicone Magnet Compression Kit for Cauliflower Ear Prevention & Treatment in BJJ, Wrestling, MMA, & Rugby - Minimize Ear Draining (Black)

These worked great for my son’s cauliflower ear. We had it drained, the doctor wanted to sew cotton to my sons ear to keep it from filling back up and was extremely condescending when I showed him these and asked if this was a viable solution to keeping pressure on the ear. Jerk of a doctor basically shrugged and said try it out but to call when we had to get it re-drained. We kept gauze on the cut from getting it drained (so it could keep draining) for 2 days. Then used the cushions provided in this set for comfort for I believe 2 weeks just to MAKE SUUUURE it didn’t start to fill again. It fit perfectly in my son’s ear. He didn’t complain about it hurting, he said the pressure from the magnet wasn’t too much when he used the cushions. His ear healed and has not been an issue since. Which was a huge relief after the doctor was such a jerk.

Got these for my husband. Worked great. He wore them for three days after draining his puffy ear. By day three, once the puffiness had gone down, they were becoming more uncomfortable. He then used the provided foam to help cushion between the magnets. So far so good!

They apply a good amount of pressure and kept my ear from refilling after being drained. This is huge for me because usually I need them drained more than once and it's a hassle. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it says "Caulibuds will fit comfortably in your ears but most importantly, stay in place during hard workouts and training" Since it's designed for cauliflower ear I assume they mean grappling training. They absolutely will not stay in place during a hard roll. Probably not that safe to wear them on the mats anyway. They were also a little pricey, but I got what I expected and it's already paying off. I've already been recommending them to my training partners.

They worked great and helped out not having such a big ear that was gross looking, they are painful, but tolerable.

These worked fairly well when I got cauliflower ear recently. The magnets are very strong and made my ear start to hurt after about 30 minutes, but I was able to fix this by taking a piece of styrofoam about half a centimeter thick, cutting it to match the shape of the buds, and putting it on the backside of the ear between the buds. Over time, the styrofoam compressed, so I made another one and added it between the buds. Now, I have a set of fully compressed styrofoam pieces so I'm all set to go if I get cauliflower ear again!

I am a practicing dermatologist, former wrestler, with sons who wrestle now, so I am quite involved in caring for auricular hematomas and cauliflower ear. I have incised and drained and applied pressure dressings and bolsters in the past with fair success, but the Caulibud magnets are, in my opinion, superior to these techniques for small hematomas (up to 2 cm). They are comfortable to wear and provide enough pressure to prevent reaccumulation of blood after drainage, but not so much pressure that revascularization is compromised. Also, unlike a bolster or gauze bandage with wrap, it is easy to visualize the skin around the magnet to assess whether the hematoma is recurring or spreading, without removing the pressure. Excellent device!

These work great, I use a gauze pad in-between though because after a while it hurts

Doesn't come off easily. so that's good. It hurts pretty bad though, like I can't focus on anything, that bad. It feel like sleeping on your ears when they are swollen. Edit: So 4 stars cus it actually works at repairing the ear. However, I have to take it off (the big ones) every 40 minutes or so otherwise the pain gets too much

They work really well. Excellent pressure

After the first day of using it, my ear lobe got looking almost normal again. I did not have a terrible swelling, but still I am pleased. It does do miracles, but certainly helps.

It helped a lot

The best/only way to stop Cauliflower ear. Over priced probably but they work and if you don't want your ears to look like a prop they are a must. Get the ear drained and put on the magnets, 2-3 days later you're good as gold. They get pretty uncomfortable but it's a price you have to pay!

Weak magnets they hardly can keep hold on my ear, for The price of the product I thought they would be worth while but they do absolutely nothing
