Hi Lexy, I'm really itchy, have twice tried building up wear time but I'm itchy with them on and have left them off for 4 days and still itchy with them off. What are the ingredients in the sticky spray you mention and what type of alcohol are you using? (brand name?)
Thanks x

i never got itchy for a long time after taking them off so you might also have a higher skin sensitivity. also the skin preps are even better then the spray for protecting ur skin so if you have those you should use then.
the alcohol is sanitary alcohol u'll find it in any pharmacy. apply on a cotton disk or something and scrub ur skin real good especially where the domes attach. don't forget to wash it good after it. i dunno what the alcohol might do to the domes. also wash the domes with dome cleanser or baby shampoo very very well after each use and make sure they don't have any impuritys glued to them.
i strongly sugest the skin preps better then the spray. i chose the spray cause it is also adhesive and i need that. but for skin protection skin preps are better. you can find the same ones cheaper. just google the name of the skin preps brava has or go to

the first ones are the ones brava sells if i'm not mistaking and they are half price.
this is all i can suggest now. i hope it works for you. good luck

Get a no water no other adatives anhydrous alcohol. rubbing alcohol has to much other crap in it and will leave a residue. anhydrous alcohol will not leave anything after it evaporates. It is the type of alcohol techs use to clean electronic parts i have used it on wounds and other scrapes for years with no adverse effects.
However all i use on my skin prior to domes is the skin wipes. I take a shower clean up everything and mainly to get any lotion or makeup off my chest. I use the makeup to hide the red marks the domes leave behind if i am wearing somthing that shows them.
hope this helps. Almost to 3000 hours of wear.

corium21 worked wonders for me as i also have very sensitive skin. its a cream you apply on your skin and rashes, welts, blisters and even pimples go away immediately.

Thanks ladies, have tried the corium cream but think I might be allergic, that and hydrocortisone both made me more itchy! Have tried showering and not showering but don't remember if it made a difference. Think I'll have to get back to it tonight or I never will.
