5 to 7 business days across the United States, after 1 to 2 days processing
Shipping & returns
Tracked delivery anywhere in the United States, free on every order with no minimum. Candle kits and ear discs arrive in 5 to 7 business days and the otoscope and the camera in 10 to 14, after one to two days of processing.
Change of mind is not a legal right in the United States, so the 15 days we give you from delivery is our own policy rather than a statutory return, and the goods have to come back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery. You cover the cost of returning it unless the item is faulty.
If it arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, we put it right at no cost to you, and the implied warranties that arise under your state's law are unaffected, return postage included. Those guarantees cannot be excluded.
The flat foil circle that keeps hot wax off your skin.
10 aluminium foil discs, 8cm across, with 5 extra discs and 10 cotton buds in the packet. One disc per candle, every time.
10 protective ear discs, plus 5 extra discs and 10 cotton buds included at no extra cost.
Aluminium foil paper, 8cm across, which is 3.15 inches.
The candle pushes through the slit in the centre so the disc sits between the flame and your head.
One disc per candle and a fresh one each time. They are not reusable.
Every one of our candle kits already includes discs. These packs are for topping up.
Discs sometimes ship in their own packet, so an order may arrive in two parcels.
The disc is the flat foil circle that sits on an ear candle between the flame and your head. The narrow end of the cone pushes through the slit in its centre, and the disc catches drips of wax and any ash that falls while the candle burns.
It is not optional. A candle used without a disc is how hot wax reaches skin and hair, and fitting one is the easiest safety step there is.
These are 8cm foil paper discs, the same in both pack sizes. The pack of 10 is a top up for a household; the pack of 20 is better value for regular use or a treatment room.
A disc reduces the risk of drips and falling ash. It does not make an open flame beside your head risk free, and the rest of the rules still apply: two people, water within reach, stop at the printed line, adults only.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Change of mind is not a legal right in the United States, so the 15 days we give you from delivery is our own policy rather than a statutory return, and the goods have to come back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. Goods sold in the United States carry implied warranties of merchantability and fitness under your state's adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code, and nothing here waives them: they must be of acceptable quality, match their description, and do what we said they would. If they do not, you are entitled to a repair, a replacement or a refund, and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss. For a major failure the choice between a refund and a replacement is yours, not ours, and we pay the return postage on anything faulty, damaged or not as described. A change-of-mind return within our own 15 day window is at your cost. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
A disc slides onto the candle and sits between the flame and your head. It catches drips and ash. Never burn a candle without one.
What are they made of?
Aluminium foil paper.
How big are they?
8cm across, which is 3.15 inches.
How do I fit one?
Push the narrow end of the candle through the cut in the centre of the disc, then rest the candle at the opening of the ear.
Can I reuse a disc?
No. Use a fresh one each time. That is why they come in packs.
Do I need a disc for every candle?
Yes, one per candle.
Do your candle kits already include discs?
Yes, every kit comes with discs and cotton buds included. These packs are for topping up.
Which pack should I buy?
The pack of 10 is a top up. The pack of 20 is better value if you candle regularly or run a treatment room.
What are the extra discs and buds?
Each pack ships with extra discs and cotton buds included at no extra cost. They are in the price shown.
Are the discs the same in both packs?
Yes. Only the quantity differs.
Will they fit any ear candle?
They fit our candles, which are the standard 25cm cone. Very wide cones from other suppliers may not pass through the centre cut.
Do discs make candling safe?
They reduce the risk of drips and falling ash. They do not make an open flame beside your head risk free, and the rest of the safety rules still apply.
Can children use them?
Ear candling is not for children, so neither are these.
Do the discs smell or smoke?
No. They are plain foil paper and they do not burn.
Can I cut my own from kitchen foil?
We would rather you did not. These are cut to size with a centre slit that grips the cone, and kitchen foil tears.
How should I store them?
Flat, dry and out of the way. They do not expire.
Do they ship separately?
Sometimes. Discs occasionally travel in their own packet, so a kit may arrive in two parcels.
Do you sell discs on their own?
Yes, that is exactly what these listings are.
Are they recyclable?
The foil paper is a mixed material, so check your local rules before putting a used disc in a recycling bin.
Are the prices in US dollars?
Yes. Every price on this site is in US dollars, and no sales tax is added at checkout.
How much is delivery?
Nothing. Delivery is free on every order with no minimum spend, and every order is tracked.
How long will my order take?
5 to 7 business days across the United States, after 1 to 2 days processing. You get a tracking link by email as soon as your parcel is on its way.
Do you ship outside the United States?
Yes. We ship to most countries and delivery is free there too. Customs charges in the destination country are the buyer's responsibility.
Can I track my order?
Yes. A tracking number is emailed as soon as the parcel ships, and there is a tracking page on this site.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 15 days of delivery, in original condition and original packaging. The original processing and shipping cost is deducted from the refund. Faulty, damaged or incorrect items are put right at our cost.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Email us within 15 days with a photograph and your order number and we will replace it or refund it.
Can I cancel an order?
Only before it has been processed and shipped. A cancellation we can still action carries a 5 percent processing charge.
How do I pay?
By card through Stripe, or with PayPal. We never see or store your card details.
Is there a discount code?
Yes. Use valued-customer at the cart for 15 percent off.
Who do I contact if something is wrong?
Email theteam@earcandlehealth.com with your order number. That address reaches our support team directly.

What an ear disc does
The disc is the flat foil circle that sits on the candle between the flame and
your head. The narrow end of the cone pushes through the cut in its centre, and
the disc then catches drips of wax and any ash that falls.
It is not optional. A candle without a disc is how hot wax reaches skin and hair,
and it is the single easiest thing to get right.
Using one
Push the tapered end of the candle through the centre of the disc until the disc
sits about a third of the way up. Rest the candle at the opening of the ear with
the disc lying flat against the towel. Light the far end.
One disc per candle, and a fresh one each time. They are foil paper, they do not
burn, and they are not designed to be reused.
Which pack
The pack of 10 is a top up for a household that already has a kit. The pack of 20
is better value if you candle regularly or run a treatment room. They are the
same disc either way, 8cm across, and both packs ship with extra discs and cotton
buds included in the price.
Every one of our candle kits already includes discs, so these listings exist for
when you run out rather than as something to add to a first order.
The rest of the safety rules still apply
Discs reduce the risk of drips and falling ash. They do not make an open flame
beside your head risk free. Two people, water within reach, stop at the printed
line, adults only.
Not sure which kit size suits you, or whether ear candling is right for you at all? Ask before you order. Delivery is free and tracked on every order, with no minimum spend.
