Hi Atod, maybe my experience can give you some ideas for the irritation.
My irritation was limited to the center of my chest. I tried medical tape with cotton under it in this area and it was a pain and still bothered me. The best thing I did to rid the center of my chest of irritation was to take a T-shirt and cut two holes in it for my breasts. At the time I was afraid to ruin my sticky stuff so I protected the inner parts of my domes with PVC tape (coloured tape, sticks to itself or electrical but it isn't sticky, like you can't stick it to a wall). So then the top, bottom and outside stuck to me but the center had the tape on it pressed against my T-shirt because of pressure and the help of the other sticky sides. Later I tried PVC tape around all the edges then used aloe vera or oil. I found this way made it a lot easier to clean (rinse or change the tape). This would be similar to just getting rid of all the sticky stuff. I was just scared to do it
I alternated between using the sticky stuff with PVC tape only in the middle and putting PVC tape on the whole thing. Now my stickiness is gone. It is pretty much the same BUT I found the T-shirt is still important for me to wear to avoid irritation. For more comfort and less irritation I also modified the center of my domes to make my cups closer together but that is a different story....
