I put mine on after work, usually around 4 or 5, and take it off before I get in the shower at 5:15am in the morning. Mine says to wear a minimum 12 hours a day. Then i wash the strips with a mild soap and air dry then they are ready when i get home. Hope this helps!

Mine says "wear as tolerated" - with a minimum of 1 hour a day, and a maximum of 23 hours per day. You can sleep in them (if you can - I find I'm so worried about them "shifting" as I move, that I keep waking up!), but I find that about 15 hours per day works well for me.
