Tip for new T folk

No matter that it's "just a quick test". Do *not* try using adhesive or double-sided wig tape to hold on your breast forms unless you've shaved that part of your chest *very* closely.

Trust me on this...

Having had more than my fair share of medical monitors glued to me, I feel your pain.

Ah, so you are not into wax and wax removal games then....?

Try using alcohol preps to remove the adhesive. It works great for the tegaderm/duoderm/hospital sticky things that we end up having to peel off of Jason. Mineral oil also works well, and it has the side benefit of making your skin feel nice too.

*wince* Discovered this little bit of info with a pair of tweezers, wanting to see if an old epilady would turn out to be more pain than it was worth without actually trying the epilady. Couldn't even pluck a hair out, just a little tug and my eyes were almost watering. In fact, the front of my whole torso is this sensitive. Makes sense, though, given the number of nerves there. Realized really quickly that shaving or Nair were the only options worth considering on my budget.
