| Which tape is best When taping the ears, which kind of tape do you use. I have tried electrical tape and masking/painters tape and they have it off within a half hour. Just wondering what everyone else has tried. |

| I used regular masking tape on clean shaved ears and it stayed on until one of the others chewed it off! The only one who had any trouble with it was Megan and she would break out from the glue on the tape but for the majority of mine it worked well. I always put a strip around each ear and then a bridge of tape through the middle to support them. I've also read that you can use eyelash glue and brown paper bag material but I could never get that to stick...and some people use the sticky mole skin but that never worked for mine either. |

| The only thing that I have found to work for me is the Nexcare Flexible Clear tape. I really like it. It stays on well and is also easy to take off. Nexcare™ Flexible Clear First Aid Tape w/ Dispenser | Staples®

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I use breath rite nasal strips...cut one big end off...place the other big end "inside" the bottom of the ear with the straight side up the ear. I also use a little bandaid liquid bandage on the strip before placing it. It will wear off in about a week and my ears have went up everytime. Not good at explaining so if you have any question just pm or call me if it is something you might want to give a try.

| I used plain old scotch tape on my girl's ears after I shaved her hair off and it worked. Thanks to Mardelin for the advice - read her posts and they were great.
