Have any you ladies had small bump appear on your skin  using ultra hold?  I have  small bumps on one side of my face just after the ultra hold and this is my second app, could this be an allergic reaction 2 the ultra hold? what other adhesive should i try.

YEP i got bumps and then you wipe then and water substance would leak out of them, then slight bleeding.. now you already know that's not good.. and that was from using UH..

Yes, you have to be very careful with UH. I notice myself in the past getting headaches whenever I used it to apply my units so I had to stop.

there are other tapes and adhesives you can use you just have to find the right ones.. http://forgirlslikeus.com/adhesives.html Holister Medical Adhesive is a medical grade so give these adhesives and tapes a look over..

 Ladies, please be careful with these adhesives.  I too had really bad headaches from UH.  Bumps can also come from ur unit being to tight. Blisters are another story

try the water based adhesives, like ORWG and Invisibond. even the cream adhesive from Mr C's. I personally can only vouce for Invisibond and ORWG wich both work great for me,they r nontoxic, and DONT SMELL LIKE ANYTHING!! If you bathroom smells like a chemical factory during your app, then someting is wrong. Thats wheat made me stop with the UH, endurabond, even the SECURE didnt smell that great.

Hi Ladies,
 
I missed you all (BHM), I have experience this before. I have always used supertape w/ a cream adhesive. If I pull the tape off to quick when removing I notice these bumps. Also I usually keep my unit off of at least one day to give my skin some air and apply A&D (thx sexi). This helps the bumps and heal my skin.
