The strip has solved my nose sore problem from masks. Question is: How do I know when to replace the strip ?

Re: Gecko Nose Strips- when to replace??
Was hoping for a reply from someone who has used the Gecho strip and could give some more details. Manufacturer says replace monthly, but I am past that.
Thanks

Manufacturer knows best they should have include instructions.

Maybe they know, but if they can sell you twelve a year--happy, happy! -for them!
All of us are different, with different oils and chemistry in our skin.
Mike is not being glib, just honest. Keep your Gecko clean and use it until it doesn't work any more.
Keep a spare in case one dies ahead of schedule.

taken out of context it sounds like animal abuse.chunkyfrog wrote:... Keep your Gecko clean and use it until it doesn't work any more.

BTW looking at their webpage, at least they used a realistic model other than some model in makeup that has never worn a mask in their life

OK- thanks to all for the input. It is still doing the job and I do wash every night.

I'm sorry. I never meant to imply abuse of such beautiful, sensitive creatures.
