Another purpose for a two piece is the ability to see your landing better.

I don't have a problem with that, I apply my paste skin side first, aim the end over the crotch, then aim the wafer hole bottom first and then center it before pressing it on. Pretty easy.GeorgeS wrote: 2026-02-24 09:49:30 Another purpose for a two piece is the ability to see your landing better.
I've got another 6 day bag on, this is absolutely fantastic
I've made another improvement, cutting the 1/3 extra large barrier strip around the belly button in the left belly button fold so it doesn't grab the sensitive scar tissue. It gets covered by a full barrier strip later.
I have to put a spare barrier strip in that left belly fold because it likes to grow mold in there and itch, then I lose barrier adhesive. I also cut the spare piece in half and stick it in the belly button hole itself so it doesn't sweat in there neither.
Little by little I address all the little pains and issues so I finally have some peace with this thing.

This new method by far has been the best ever!
I feel almost nothing, no nagging little pains or irritation. I feel ready to try out a pool now.
