Losing sleep! Help!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So..I started wearing Brava about 2 nights ago..and I can NOT sleep a whole night with that thing on. I have slept on my tummy for my whole life..so trying to sleep on my back or side isn't working. Will I get used to it eventually?
I usually put it on at like 12 at night...will fall asleep for a few hours...and get woken up by it!
The sticky stuff drives me crazy...it almost hurts. I don't have rashes or anything, but it's just uncomfortable.
Can anyone give me advice?

What you describe is just a typical Brava experience, that's just how things are. The good news is that you will get used to sleeping on your back eventually.

Cushion yourself with pillows. one under your head, one on either side of your body under your arms/shoulders and one directly below your butt under your thighs. that helps me sleep.

god, i can relate so much to what you say!
First night i took the system out at 3am...I was going mad. it hurt, it hurt and could not sleep...i have all my life slept face down, and whenever i cannot sleep, i know this is the right position..i can always sleep face down...
so it was hard
and also it was painful
progresively i got used to it..i did no longer hurt (tho occasionally it does in my sternum area, and hurts hurts...but hey you kind of try to move it slightly, untie the bra, change back position and gets better)...
but what was magic as you have already been recomended are PILLOWS
i do not do the normal thing, but works for me..i have one long pillow from head to bottom almost (no t quite so) and then one in my back and another in my head, so that like my weight falls in my bumb not in my back so much...and then a pillow under my legs like in a V (not quite so)..the thing is, my back does not hurt since i have found this position, and the my head is really held by pillows, so i am comfortable enough to sleep now 12 hours in a row, whenever i have time to do so..
work out your way...
