EarSavers are designed to help relieve the chafing on the backs of the ears associated with wearing face masks.
The small size is designed to be used with all hair styles. It is designed to rest against the base of the head and remove the ear bands from the backs of the ears.
The medium size is designed to be used when wearing the hair in a ponytail, bun or other style which pulls the hair off of the back of the neck using a hair band. The medium size rests above the ponytail on top of the hair band. It is designed to remove the ear band from the backs and the tops of the ears.
Make sure your first layer isn't too low or one side of the print that's resting against the head or neck will stick out and be sharp.
