Got my tube out today! OUCH!!!!! The told me to take a deep breath and hold it...and I did....for about 3 seconds before I yelled, then cried I think. But it's out, I'm allergic to adhesives on most of the tapes, so I took the gauze pad and am using a large 6" ace bandage wrapped around my torso to keep it on...SO much more comfortable than trying to use tape to hold bandages around. Also gives some needed support when driving and getting bounced around. To be honest, I'd be perfectly happy wearing this all the time instead of a bra. Wonder if it comes in color with lace???
