With this third pregnancy, round ligament pain started around 20 weeks. I noticed that if I do leg stretches and have this on before bed, I’m not in as much pain as if I don’t do stretches or have this on when I wake up. It does come with a little note of instructions. I did rip my skin, well, my 8 year old was picking at a corner and my skin ripped then. Didn’t think anything of it, just thought it was my hairs being pulled. But when I was removing all very carefully by tauting the skin and pulling very slowly, only until I took a bath I felt the burn. That’s when I noticed my skin ripped. I’ve put these on 4 times since then and when I remove carefully, I don’t rip my skin. Note: when you measure how long you need it, remove 10% of length before cutting. The trick is to start pulling the backing from one end, then as you are placing pull so that it stretches and remove backing slowly. Don’t remove backing all at once, this will mess you up and you will have to discard that piece because it will not unstick from itself. So remove backing slowly as you are placing on yourself. Hope I make sense, don’t mind me, I’m 7 months pregnant and pregnancy brain is in full effect.
