Updated !!- Re: Silicone Sheets...Adhesive...NOT!

L is for loser and I am not talking about weight....haha. So, hubby came up stairs to help me change my sheets since they are supposed to be changed/washed every 12 hours. Well...when I untaped the sheet, my hubby said something was weird because there was still a seethrough cover that can  be peeled off. I was what..I pulled it off already. So, if all else fails go back to the directions (that I glanced at the first time :-) and didn't really read). There is actually strips to pull off on both sides and low and behold the side I had NOT pulled off was the self-adhesive (silicone) side. Hubby pulled the other side off and they stick and stick really good . I was even able to put them on the inner thigh along the goin line.....yeah!!!

DaHusband is D' Bomb..LOL. I would have went a month struggling with these suckers......

Lesson learned is to read directions thoroughly!

Now its time for bed..whew....

Tammy, where did you get the strips from?  And how expensive were they?  I don't think we can get them in Canada.  I've looked and asked around town and have not had any luck.

Hi Chris, I got them from makemeheal.com. They are pretty darn expensive but supposedly last up to 3 months for each sheet. I bought 4 22' strips. Cut 2 of them down for TT to alternate every 12 hours. The 2 others I cut in half and was perfect for inner thigh groin incision. And took remnents of the TT sheet and cut for the liposuction scars. I bought 2 pairs for the aeriola and one bellybutton sheet. And also got some of the scar cream (Esthesique). The sheets dont qualify for free shipping but if you email them and ask for a 5% coupon they will give you 5% off. I paid over $300 for everything...ugh....I am hoping they work wonders but know there isnt proof they will work..

holy crap woman!!!  I was looking at the body wrap one for my LBL scar.  I could cut that in 1/2 long ways and get twice the use from it.  then I was going to look at the 22 inch sheets for my arms and thighs but I can't do $300..  yikes.  Maybe will have to rethink this one.  lol.  My LBL scar really isn't bad but my thigh and arm scars are more puckered.  I still have the spot under my left breast that is not healing and I am a lil worried that the scar from that will be ugly.  hmmmm still contemplating the silicone strips though.

Chris,

Try Mepitac which is a silicone sheet tape that is ~ $20 for a 9 foot tape roll. Works Great and is reasonable priced. It will stick for 1-2 weeks and is easy to remove/reapply.

Does that tape work to reduce scars.  It looks more like it is for open wounds etc.  Doesn`t mention anything about scar treatment.

That's the best laugh I've had all day.  Thanks!

Now if only a CVS would move closer to Canada.

Tammy...too funny! Glad you have a sense of humour about it.
And your husband is da bomb! Glad all is going well.

 I'm so happy to hear that Tammy!  I bought the same ones and am still a week or so out from using them and was so bummed when I read your first post.  Yay!
