I called a local Staples store here in the good old USA and they have a tape that is activated by water for box packaging....i think that is the one that we need. I will check it out and let you guys know what I find...woman on a mission

Pollyanna,
The Frownease came up on another thread when discussing the frownies and one poster that was a frownie user tried them and was disappointed that they weren't stiff enough to handle the forehead wrinkles. Can you speak to the stiffness?

sure

well first like I said they aren't really even large enough to cover the whole forehead area. With Frowies you could by making a diamond pattern using 2 of the original frownease box for between eyes. But one of these frownease would not cover an area as large as the centre of forehead and they don't join well together to make a larger one because of their thickness.(hope that makes sense!)
I suppose if you had 1-2 or even 3 small individual forehead horizontal wrinkles spaced out you could apply these one by one as they are quite small but of course you'd use more... Sad

They only come in this one shape/size for anywhere on the face.I've just measured them and they are 1 inch left to right and a bit over half an inch top to bottom. I imagine they would be best for the frown/glabellar line like I use it and the small smile lines at corners of mouth. I personally didn't find them all that comfortable on crows feet though I think this would depend on the person and if how deep an indentation they had on the side of their eye(mine is deeper).I think they'd be fine for someone else..
but that being said again it is the size of these that makes them so much more appealing to me for between the eye area because you look less like a freak in bed for example-my husband prefers these that's for sure Laughing

So now to more directly address your question Wink

I have NO issue whatsoever with the stiffness and find these far more sturdy and secure than original frownies which always were mostly unstuck from my face by morning..something I was never fully able to recitify after soo many years of use. These new ones feel like an extra thick cloth bandaid-the comfortable kind and I personally find that these do not budge!
Hope that helps Smile

This thread is hilarious. I looked this up because I thought I was going to introduce everyone to a new product! I always wear my "frownies" at night and when I am on the computer to keep me from squinting and making my 11's worse, and to bed! I like the idea of transparent tape, not to actually take the place of my beloved frownies but I could use that in my office at work when I am on the computer! I'll just put a sign on my door for everyone to "knock before entering" so I can remove it, or they are going to think I'm nuts!! Laughing

It's really a good idea to use at office!

But be reminded that every time when you use frwonies, the most suitble duration is at least 3 hours sucessively without break!!
