Today I got my new wafers in. The one Shell said worked pretty good. So My other wafer started to leak. So I got my new ones out and so far it seems good. (knock on wood) I did use an eakins seal with it and since my skin is starting to bleed from all the changes I put some powder on. So please cross your fingers for me that this works!!

Jessica, I hope they work out for you. I know how frustrating it can get. Eakins work great on me.

Hi Jessica,

I'm so glad that it's holding up so far (fingers crossed Smiler)

I am a great believer in "less is more" and I have never been able to get along with the eakin seals myself. I found that for me they actually interfered with the seal on the moldables. The moldable wafers shouldn't really need them as they mold to every contour and as long as any weepy area is powdered I find it helped to heal any sore skin I've had in the past. However we are all made differently with different skin types and I know lots of people swear by the eakins so if the combination works for you then keep it up. Wink

Good luck and keep us posted with your progress with this new combination.

Take care Smiler

One glass of red wine per day is good for the heart..... it's just that mine's a big heart so I need a very big glass!!!! D-| Cheers! Wink

I was scared that they would not hold up so I put a E ring on. My skin is starting to get raw and red under there. Hopefully this works and it heals up nice.

Last night I felt a lot better. It seems to stick better.
