“The application process was a bit rough.
Once trying to apply the adhesive would release from my skin and roll off. Once I was Able to get it to stay with the extra strips I purchased with set it stayed.
After a couple hours it was a bit itchy, I just Chalked that up to the heat or sweat.
Once home I was Removing it (which took forever) I tried to use soap and water to which did not work. I then Used baby oil which did make the process easier however even with the baby oil the adhesive removed parts of my skin. It's now blotchy and red.
I think That the concept was a wonderful idea and it did do the job but it was not worth the after effect during the removal process.
Also I did Use the test strip and it did not show/indicate that I would have a reaction to the adhesive.
Unfortunately I would Not purchase again.”
Hi Christiana,
Thank you for your feedback! We wanted to reach out to help. Here's a few tips:
1. Apply from the bottom up, and while the first adhesion is the best, you can always use a blowdryer on low to reactivate the adhesive.
2. Once you have the product where you like it, make sure to rub it in for at least 60 seconds until it feels warm to the touch. Our adhesive is heat activated so warming it up is always crucial.
3. Make sure to allow 30 minutes for the product to set before you start sweating/moving your arms (which moves the product during it's setting phase).
4. Wait at least 30 minutes after showering and apply on bone dry skin, without sweating (apply in a cool room) and without any trace residue of oil, lotion, or moisture on the skin.
5. If you feel itching, you may have stretched your skin too far in the way you applied, which can create tension and skin irritation. Or you may have a sensitivity to the adhesive.
6. Oil is necessary to dissolve the adhesive, and because the adhesive is so strong (which is why it can hold large breasts all day), it is expected that it will take a few minutes on each breast. As long as you go slowly and saturate both the top of the product and underneath as you slowly remove from bottom to top, you shouldn't experience more than a mild discomfort. Going too fast can create irritation and additional peeling as well.

Hi Melody,
Thank you for your feedback! Our adhesive is incredibly strong, so when there's trouble with it adhering we know it's likely due to one of the following culprits:
1. Sweating while applying. This can get in the way of the adhesive being able to grip your skin.
2. Having a slight residue of leftover oil or lotion left on the skin (or even a moisturizing body wash) if not removed completely.
3. Applying too closely to showering. We recommend waiting 30 minutes.
4. Not warming up the adhesive. Brassybra is heat activated and needs to be rubbed into your skin vigorously during application.
5. 30 minute setting period. Once Brassybra is warmed, it needs set for 30 minutes uninterrupted. Sweating and moving your arms or movement in another way that moves the product can interrupt the ability to set. This can cause peeling, but you can always fix it by re-heating, or even using a blowdryer on low.
We'll send you a private message now as well. Thank you!
Best,

Thank you for your feedback, Taneshia!
Our adhesive is so strong that if there's an issue with adhesion, we know we can tweak something during application. It's crucial to make sure your skin is bone dry during application (at least 30 minutes after showering, with no small amounts of leftover oil or lotion on the skin). It's important not to be perspiring during application or during the first 30 minutes after application while the adhesive sets. It's also extremely important to get Brassybra warm during the application process. Our adhesive is heat activated and needs to be warmed as it begins to grip your skin. After 30 minutes, the adhesive works with your body heat to get stronger the longer you wear it, so you can always use a blowdryer on low if you're experiencing peeling after trimming the product. Please let us know if you have any questions! Sending you a private message now.
