Prepping for your Pod.
Remember to stay cool and be cool (dry and not sweating) when it's time to change your Pod.
Here are more potential sticking points:
Trouble with...
Oily skin
Damp skin
Body hair
Pod placement/prep/tips
Problem
Residue from soap, lotion, shampoo or
conditioner can prevent your Pod from
staying secure.
Dampness gets in the way of adhesive.
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
stick to. Do this 24 hours before putting
on your Pod to prevent irritation.
