I forgot this, when I put the tape I don't push it hard against the skin, only a gentle push enough to let in place and that's enough.

The morning I take the on side at the time, I take off the top of the lips and then the bottom. I don't take the whole thing like when you are waxing your legs .

I decided to try only a small piece of tape because when I taped the whole mouth it made wrinkles on my face (I don't need more ). So I repeat I use only 3/4 to 1 inch in front of the mouth. Me too I have a sensitive skin in the junction of the lips and the skin face but since my lips are rolled inside the mouth I have no problems. The other advantage I find with the lips in that position is I think the mouth is closed tighter and there is no leaks at the corners. My pressure max=11 medium=9.5
