With all three of my children in school now, I have a few hours in the morning after I drop them off at school to dress and practice my make-up application before my infirm mother-in-law who lives with us wakes up.
I've done my face everymornig for the last week, and with the constant practice, I'm seeing definite improvement in my look. Yesterday I decided in addition to doing my face, I was going to try out the breast form adhesive that I purchased a while back but had not had the opportunity to apply yet.
I gave myself a good close shave, cleansed and moisturised my face, then sat down to read the adhesive instructions one more time while I enjoyed a cup of Blue Mountain java and a Marlboro light 100 while my face recovered from the scraping.
Instructions seemed pretty straight forward.
1 shake well before using
2 apply cement to both surfaces to be joined
3 allow cement to set up 4 to 5 minutes before joining
4 join surfaces and hold for 2 minutes to insure tight bond
5 to remove apply uni-solve adhesive remover
No problem, I can do this! I'm thinking with visions of going bra-less dancing in my head.
Step one I shake the snot out of the bottle of adhesive
Step two I paint an even coat of the adhesive on both of my forms then on my chest
After waiting the required amount of time in step three I proceed to Step four and put them in place held them for 3 minutes then while still holding them I put on my bra.
WOOT attached forms! They feel GREAT! Time for makeup!
While applying foundation and concealer, I start to feel a bit of discomfort from a spot on the right side of my chest. The discomfort quite rapidly progressed form discomfort to PAIN. By the time I had my foundation finished, I wanted the forms off NOW. Seems that I had a tiny little pimple on my chest and the attached form was pulling the skin causing a great deal of pain(on the positive side the pimple had been stubbornly refusing to form a head for over a week and with the application of the attached forms it came to a head RFN)
I used the adhesive remover to detach the forms from my skin then attempted to clean the sticky, nasty, got on everything glue.
Ended up taking me over an hour and the entire bottle of remover to get the adhesive residue off of my chest (and upper arms, armpit, stomach, etc it got EVERYWHERE) and forms.
My body is mostly free of the residue now over 24 hours later, but the forms are still a mess. I don't know if I will ever be able to get all of it off.
The adhesive I used was Smith & Nephew's "Skin-Bond" and while attaching the forms seamed like a great idea, in practice it was lacking.
Anyone out there that uses forms have ever have any better luck with an adhesive? Think the problems I ran had were due to the product or just my incompetence?
Doomed to forever wear a bra,
Julie
