After applying the patch, may you get out of bed to go to the bathroom?

Yes just step on your toes and walk.It really works by removing toxin and helps blood circulation.You will feel it in your legs after a few times.Avoid the Chineese copy.Get the Japaneese original made.

Yes. I walk around while they are applied. I don't go for a long walk, but if I need to go to the bathroom or check the door. I haven't found a problem. I try not to walk directly on the pad but like I said haven't found a problem with it

yes, you may get out of bed and go to the bathroom. You just walk a little funny.

You should be able to wear the patch for 8 plus hours especially overnight. Make sure you clean and dry the spot you will place it daily.

It can but I would give him a break as much as possible. It has a cut out so they can still go to the bathroom but it can rub. Our female has an infection in that area now. The vet can't say for sure if it's caused by her wearing this too much, but she said it isn't helping either. So we try not to leave it on for extended periods like all night or during the day when we're working.

I haven't tried this myself, but I think a bike tube patch on the inside would do the trick. The inside surface is smoother and the pressure would tend to hold the patch in place. Give the bladder a good wash before drinking out of it again.

Put it on after taking a shower (before going to bed), shower the next morning. Best effective if used at bedtime, you rest better withit on then.

Yes, but...It will come off before hurting you no matter what! So, it won't cause an injury to this vital area.I used it for about a month or two and with it's help I've retrained my self that I don't need it on anymore!I keep it by the sink so I see it and I know I can use it. Only once in about a week or two do I have to rush to toilet, otherwise, just knowing it there helps! Such a relief!Ken B.

I agree that you should not walk around in these splints for day-to-day chores. But for getting up at night to use the bathroom or some other short walk when you intend to go back to bed afterwards - that is fine. Just remember to take heed to adjust your stance to remain balanced.

I actually ignore the instructions and apply in the morning after my shower. I have no complaints. I've occasionally done what is asked of me when I shower at night, but I still reapply in the morning. Habit I guess.

I think yes...but I will pull on it tonight and consider how well it would work.....and then respond again. I take one side bar off every morning....and it is very easy to manage. The other way to get the person out of the bed is to lower the bar in place....which does not work for me because the bed is low....and the top rail bumps her legs as she gets out.I will check and let you know tonight....Bless you for being a caregiver...it is tough.

The label says you can, but test a small area of a mattress before all the seams. Make sure to leave the room after spraying the mattress due to fumes from this. You may need to sleep on a different bed the first night after spraying.

You don't HAVE to, BUT - I left it on every night for about a week, and my skin started to get really itchy, dry and red. My skin even started to burn a little. It also left a little filmy residue on my legs, so it would probably recommend washing off after 20 minutes.

I believe you can... I have. I've even sprayed it on my bed and have had no bad reaction! ... of course I didn't sleep on it instantly, but a few hours later and was O.K.

I don't see why not. I've done this and other cleanses and gone to the gym. If I'm feeling a little low-energy or off - I'll stay home and do a little light yoga.

absolutely. Read the directions and wipe excess off immediately and you're good to go.

Yes, as long as you don't walk over it. I use it under and around the perimeter of my bed. It's been 4 months since I started using it and I have not seen any single bed bug in the last month. It works but it takes time. It's not right away. Try not to walk on it barefoot. I find it itchy and you don't want to get the powder directly on top of the bed where you sleep. For additional information check out the youtube videos on Diatomaceous Earth. Good luck, I also used Ortho's Home Defense Bed Bud Killer cause it kills on contact and keeps killing for a few days after. Don't give up, be persistent wash your curtains and vacuum often.

Even if you have to place it on a fold, pick one that has a gentle roll and place the center of the patch at the top of the roll. It should not dig into you at the edges if you do. Also, don't forget the side of the hip or up a little higher on the tummy. Warning, also avoid spots where panty edges will rub against it as that will drive you mad. Also, as someone else mentioned, lying down is good, or otherwise suck in the tummy to the max so that when it expands it is tightening the patch. The patch will irritate if it is constantly being flexed. If you bloat during the day, pick a time when bloat is minimal. I've been using these by prescription for about 10 years, and they work great.

Yes. Always do the lower level first, and allow the next day's outflow to carry whatever got loosened up out of the pipes. Then do the upstrairs the next night. I think it is best to do these right before you climb into bed. That way, you know the bacteria have the longest possible time to work before they are flushed away by dishwashing, toothbrushing, etc.
