Prepping For Your Pod

sticking points:
Trouble with... Problem
Oily skin Residue from soap, lotion, shampoo or conditioner
can prevent your Pod from staying secure.
Damp skin Dampness gets in the way of adhesion.
Body hair A lot of hair will prevent the Pod from
sticking securely.

Solutions
Clean the area thoroughly with alcohol before applying
your Pod—and be sure to let your skin air-dry.
Towel off and allow your skin to air-dry; do not blow on it.
Clip or shave the area with a razor to create a smooth
surface for your Pod to adhere to. Do this 24 hours
before putting on your Pod to prevent irritation.
Protecting your skin
Prevent irritation with barriers
and banners.
