If it helps, I use Hollister medical adhesive spray for breast forms and it holds really well.

Lori, do you use the adhesive remover on yourself or the breast forms to remove the adhesive?

Ethedon,  I don't use it on me - I peel off the forms slowly.  I have used the remover to the adhesive off the breastform but I've found that Goo Gone works just as well and is cheaper.

You may already know but there is a trick to getting the adhesive to work well.  Spray it on the prosthesis/form, put the form against your skin where you want it and squish it around a little, take it off for 30 seconds, and then place it where you want it.  Keep some pressure on it for another minute.

Wow, I suppose this is a mega savings hint!
