Has any one used these adhesive forms following radiation and what was your experience.

Any advice much appreciated.

    I have and still do and  have never had a problem.  I use the Amoena Tresia Contact form and really like it.  There are several contact forms out there so you might have to do some trial and error.

    I'm getting ready to order a contact form and was wondering the same thing (I had radiation).  I love the form and it felt great so I hope it works with my skin.

    I am getting my contact form today.  How long post rads did you wait before wearing it attached to your chest.  I am 3 months since my last tx and the fitters said I should wait at least 4 months.

    Are you able to wear regular bras with it?  I am debating whether to get more mx bras (hate them) or try to use regular bras.
