[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2188134, member: 6467"] Go slowly the first time, and double check each step. The most complicated bit for me was lining up all the bits of plastic to get the applicator ready. As others have said, try and get the area clean and dry. I only use one wipe of the two supplied, but whatever. Trust that when you press down the sensor will stick - it is a bit like magic at first but it seems to work. I put Kinesiology tape over the top, with a bit of backing still on in the middle to stop the tape sticking to the sensor. Others don't use tape. Get someone with a firm grip to help you remove your first sensor. It needs a far harder pull than you expect. [/QUOTE]
