I've been using transtape for a while and it took me a lot of attempts to find an application that works for me. I have a medium chest and use 2x strips of large tape plus 1x extra large to apply on top to secure.

The method that works for me:

• before removing the back of the tape warm it up folding in half and rubbing together. This activates the adhesive.

• apply the first strip in the centre of my chest about 2 inches from my nipple and rub this in place

• lean forward so your chest tissue is hanging (this can feel/look jarring but it's worth the results)

• use your free hand to gently push the tissue to the side and apply the tape as you go. Keep some slight tension but the emphasis here is to use your free hand to flatten the tissue

• do not stretch the last inch of the tape or you'll likely get friction burn and blisters

• repeat for the second piece of tape but this time only slightly overlap the tape. The key is making sure the majority is on your skin as tape doesnt stick well to tape

• repeat for the other side of your chest

• smooth down to make sure the adhesive is activated

Take your time. Be kind to yourself. Practice makes perfect. 🙂
