MaryContrary,
I had a similar issue... which caused me to quit 2 to 3 times.
My skin's too sensitive to the glue I think and reacted badly. I was so close to giving up this whole thing because I thought there was just no way for me to make it work after trying so many times.
Then one brava coach asked me apply organic pure coconut oil, wait for 10 minutes, then put on the domes. It worked. I have been using it for 9 weeks now. Goal is to keep using it till the end of the year!
The first few days I would only wear it for 4 hours, then 6 hours, then 8 etc, which I think also helped. Now I'm between 10-14 hours/day. Trying to make sure I get at least 12-15 hours in a day.
But then a couple of days ago I called them again and a difference coach told me that coconut oil ruins the glue so the suction won't be as strong so the effect wouldn't be as strong. So now I'm not sure what to do.
A part of me thinks that weaker effect is better than no effect because I feel like coconut oil was the only way that I was able to last this long.
I think maybe I'll make it up for using it for a longer period of time (i.e. more weeks).
Hope this helps!!
