Would it hurt if it hit bare skin, what about sleeve covered skin? Is it easy to wash out of clothing, and off of skin?

Pain is relative. It stings bare skin but does not leave a mark like a real paint ball marker does. the more layers of clothing the less it smarts.It washed out of everything i got it on and off skin/fence with out any issues.

Surprisingly the paintballs don't hurt much just a little sting, no bruising. The paint seems to wash out easy but I've never gotten any on my clothes.

Personally, I don't think it's good for anything. I still have a mark on my arm from wearing it for only 20 minutes almost a year ago. Proceed at your own risk.

You can just place it on your skin & rip it off. It brings a little bottle with a liquid to clean your skin after & prevent irritation. Btw you should warm it up with a blow drier instead of your hands. It works a lot better that way.

I wiped it on with a damp cloth and it worked great! Use gloves as I did not at the start and it started stinging. Very good product.

I usually take a bath after I have put it on, after several hours,it is great,i don't have a problem, if you let it stay on your skin,anmd absorbe,i don't think it will rub off on your clothes.

The one I received looks similar but not exact to the photo. I wear it under my cloths and can be seen around the neck-line. as would a razor back tank ect. it is a little noticeable but not very? I suggest a t shirt under because after about an hour it really starts hurting my arm-pit area. Other than that it does take a lot of pressure off the back and is a noticeable change. I wear it on the elliptical and at the office (where I need it most is at my desk)

If you wear it over a shirt as shown. If on bare skin it irritated my skin because it rubs. Did help my posture but not comfortable for me

I do not think it will bleed, never actually got hit on bare skin. With a t-shirt on it stings like a weak bee sting.

You can wear it over an underware shirt. It is not soft enough over bare skin.

It'll sting for sure. Bare skin at point blank is gonna surprise you a bit.... From a distance it's barely a bother.

You could wear it under a baggy sweater. Wouldn't recommend it against your bare skin. You would definitely chafe everywhere. It fits snug to your body, but still the weights are about an inch and a half thick. Take into account that the canvas is thick, and then there's Velcro flaps and straps. You are adding a few inches to your torso. Even under a baggy sweater, you would look awkward

I found this mat to be actually too painful to lay bare skin on for more than 2 minutes. When I put on a cotton tee shirt it did not seem effective or any less painful. Anything heavier that a cotton shirt seemed like you couldn't feel anything as all. So for me it doesn't work. I also use TENs machine for pain.

Leave it on! You will have a big mess if you try and take it off. If it does rip or tear I have used bandaid clear bandages to repair the tear.

I think Nitrobud got it right, but Jo Ann isn't wrong. You put it on only when you need to protect yourself, and usually that means when you are done you are washing your hands. But really the stuff won't hurt you and you can leave it on for hours. After 3 or 4 hours what kind of person are you if you haven't washed your hands for some reason? Just kidding.

If you have clothes on, you will not feel very much from the pressure points. Personally, I did not see any results using this mat and I do not think it was this particular mat. I laid on it without any layer of clothing between the mat and my back, neck, head and feet (i.e., various positions) for several months and saw absolutely no results. Many people had positive results but for me, it was a waste of money.

Never tried it but that's a good thought. Just like an ice pack. You may want to put a thin cloth first on top of your skin before putting it directly on your skin.

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.
