Can I just offer some advice from what I find helpful....

Always hold the skin tight & once they take it off, if they dont firmly put their hand on the area, then you put your hand there.... I dont know why but when you push on it straight after its not as painful.

Also its really only the first couple of times that it hurts badly, if you dont leave the visits too long in between then it doesn't hurt as much because they're not pulling as much out if that makes sense.

I also feel "cleaner" when I have mine done & didnt have any probs through pregnancy, besides my back hurting while I laid on it!
