We can always tell when they forgot to put them on......

We also re-use them, by putting them in a zip lock bag after use. They last a while that way.

Cheers

We use them all the time for my youngster who is a Lizzie magnet. They worn well.

I am not sure about the ones you mentioned but the ones from the chemist or camping stores are worth it.

Post by: liney on February 03, 2013, 01:21:48 PM: Yes we have used them and found them to work ...BUT - I put one on my ankle to stop the little buggers down there and after 24 hours being tight on me it burnt my skin leaving a scar so there must be some nasty chemicals in them BUT it was on tight and not allowing an air gap.
