Has anyone used Mepitel ?

I also have very sensitive skin and the Mepitel was so helpful. I had 30 treatments of proton beam radiation at Mayo and had the Mepitel on for the whole time. The only part of my skin that had some wet peeling after radiation was right under my armpit where the Mepitel didn't stick very well due to it being summer at the time of my treatment and I have very sweaty armpits. My plastic surgeon and radiation oncologist both said my skin looks really good. I only have a little bit of a "tan" from the radiation on the spot that the Mepitel didn't stick well. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

@svb How much of it did you need? I'm looking to order as I will be having radiation soon. I'm out of state so will have to have it shipped etc. I'm trying to figure out how much to order from the Mayo Clinic store. Did you order the smaller or the larger size sheet? Thanks so much for any insights you can provide.
