*Skin must be perfectly dry -- avoid oils, powders and lotions that may leave a residue on the skin and interfere with the adhesive's ability to stick.
FOR GIRLS:
- With the child on her back, spread legs and wash each skinfold in the genital area. A gentle bath soap is best. Do not use a scrub soap solution: it may leave a residue that interferes with adhesion. Wash anus last. Rinse and dry.
- Remove protective paper from the bottom half of the adhesive patch. Most persons find it easier to keep the top half of the adhesive covered with paper until the bottom part has been applied to the skin. Be sure skin is dry before applying collector.
- Stretch perineum to separate skin folds and expose the vagina. When applying adhesive to the skin, be sure to start at the narrow bridge of skin separating vagina from anus. Work outward from this point.
- Press adhesive firmly against the skin and avoid wrinkles. When bottom part is in place, remove paper from upper portion of adhesive. Work upward to complete application, pressing adhesive all around vagina.
FOR BOYS:
- Wash entire area between legs. A gentle bath soap is best. Do not use a scrub soap solution: it may leave a residue that interferes with adhesion. Wash scrotum first, then penis; anus last. Rinse and pat dry, allowing a few moments for moist parts to dry.
- Remove protective paper from bottom section first, exposing adhesive. Most persons find it easier to keep the top half of the adhesive patch covered until the bottom half has been applied to the skin. But with an active boy, you may want to leave the paper in place until you have placed the collector over the genitals.
- When pressing adhesive to the skin, be sure to start at the narrow bridge of skin between the anus and the base of the scrotum. Work outward from this point. Be sure skin is dry before applying collector.
- Continue to press adhesive against skin, avoiding wrinkles. When bottom part is in place, remove paper from upper part of adhesive patch. Work upward to complete application.
