sweating

[Esther L.]

Wendi -
I HATE that feeling when the gel liner begins to slip because of sweating!!

Since you are working on weight loss, is there a chance that your liner 
is a bit
too large?  It's been my experience that if I had shrunk a little bit 
and the Alpha
liner was a tiny bit too large, I sweated even more than usual, and the 
thing
lost its grip on my skin frequently.

I tried the Certain-DRI that Lindsay recommends with this Alpha liner. 
It didn't
have much effect, because the Real problem was that the liner didn't fit 
snug
enough anymore.  I was told to wash the residual limb at night, and apply
the Certain-DRI to the dry skin then.

I'm using an ALPS Easyliner now.  I still sweat a lot, but not quite as 
much. I have
a different problem now - a rash from the sweating.
