This Brava Elastic Barrier Strip is designed to prevent the edges of your barrier from lifting and to keep your barrier securely in place. It is elastic, so it is able to follow your body shape and move with you as you bend and stretch which can provide greater security and peace of mind that your barrier will stay in place. Much like tape, this strip is designed to be applied around the edges of the barrier (overlapping onto your skin; like a picture frame around your barrier), and you can use either one or two strips; depending on where you need extra security. Plus, its Y-shape provides extra security and support in a wider strip for outward areas such as a hernia.
