I was thinking there was some type of strip I could buy at Walgreens to put on my incisions but I couldn't find any there.  I know some people bought some from Real Self but not sure what kind to buy.  Any suggestions??

CVS sells their own brand of silicone strips....kind of square shaped.  I used them on my breasts (cut in half lengthwise), they worked great.

OR

You could buy these....I used these too and love them. www.newmedical.com/purchases.htm

Hope that helps

Wow, those are a bit pricier than I thought. How often do you change the strips?

The strips are reusable, I used them on my scars for several weeks for 12-14 hours a day. At night I put them on a strip of foil and then reused them again the next day.

The directions said that if they lost their stickiness that you could clean them. I didn't have to do that for the amount of time that I used them.
