The application is very simple. With practice, you stuck the pads to the proper location under the armpits. For me as an extremely-much-Schwitzer shoulders remain up to one day (7-10h) dry and relatively odorless. The pads absorb sweat on zurverlässig. However, the major disadvantage of the pads is slimming. As advantageous as high adhesive strength is during the day also, so they interfere with removal. Even by strong wetting the pads and action let the water, I can take off the pads only with pain and severe skin irritation. On a daily applying is unthinkable and even with the use 1-2x per week to stay with me a irritated skin edge, at the places where there was the tape of the pads. Thank goodness I'm hear about the product from the same manufacturer. It helps perfectly against sweat with me.
