In my experience a rash is most likely due to need for cleaning. I wash after every use, clean glue off every 3 uses. Wearing continuously over 24hrs perspiration Nevins a concern and I suggest cleaning again to continue wearing. That's my experience.
Doc, I hope you heal quickly, ouch.
Thanks!:hugs:
All healed as of this weekend!:thumbsup:
Some materials can be more irritating to skin. Some silicone products are irritating period. Simple contact with your flesh can cause a major irritation.
When I first started messing around with balloon forms I bought a package of balloons for forms. I made up a pair, fell asleep wearing them and in the morning where they had been in contact with my chest was highly irritated, almost to blisters. I just discounted it to dry skin and a few days later tried them again with the same results. They went into the trash! I have not have any issues with other balloons since other than some very minor irritation from wearing forms for an extended time.
The earlier, severe irritation made me nervous! I was not out to my wife at the time and not sure how I would explain two large sores centered on my boobs!
I have fairly sensitive skin and it was a challenge when I would attach forms before my wife knew about them.
When I used glue, sometimes I'd get a red outline where the edges of the forms were (sometimes I'd get small blisters too).
I tried the tapes once and those left red marks perfectly shaped like the tape pieces. No way that looked at all natural.
Sleep with my forms every night, same fem forms as you doc. Never had an issue, more from the bra than the forms
Balloons r made of latex rubber. Not silicone, Pumped!Quote:

My forms are REALLY big though... they have 10 inches of protrusion, they’re 11 inches wide, and each one weighs about 14 pounds... so I have almost 28 pounds sitting on my chest when I sleep in them- so I usually wake up laying flat on my back the same as when I fell asleep.
still, though, I once wore them for almost 48 hours nonstop day and night and still haven’t had any blisters. Perhaps you could slide a soft piece of fabric between the form and your nipple to keep it from rubbing against it? Or maybe it’s time for an upgrade to a better quality?

Same here... I got a slightly irritated spot from the tag on the bra, but nothing from the forms themselves.Quote:

They even tested him by just taping a piece of the material to his arm and he got a blister in a couple hours. I know it is rare, but it can happen.
