| These things are great.I am going to start using them every night.They are very cheap like 12 at walgreens or u can buy on the net. You can use them everywhere you have a line.I put them on the corners of my mouth, forehead and crows feet and when I woke up and took them off I looked 10 years younger.It of course wears off after awhile but with regular use is supposed to really help.Make sure to sleep on your back.Sleeping on the stomach or side is what really gives you wrinkles. Muscles movement gives you wrinkles and this keeps your muscles somewhat still. I heard about a man that was in an accident and the left side of his face was paralyzed.When he was 60 his right side looked like a 60 yr old ma and the left side that was paralyzed looked like he was 16. So keeping muscles still at night will help prevent wrinkles. |

| I wonder if using any sort of tape (that sticks to the skin of course) would accomplish the same thing.. |
In a word...yes! Although I haven't tried Frownies, I have mentioned on other threads, that 3M's Transpore tape gives the same results. Costs around CDN$6 in the drugstore.

| I have to admit these never worked for me and I found them kind of annoying. Sometimes they stuck too hard to my skin and were difficult to remove. I know some people swear by them though. |

I use the tape too, only we call it surgical tape. If you were to be stitched at a drs office they often use the same thing. It works great and keeps me from going for botox. I had botox three times and it ended up relaxing my frontalis muscles and made me look worse.
I never put my pressure on the tape just sorta stick it over top of my frown lines. I find putting pressure and really making it stick makes a line around where the tape was.

I have used Frownies. Very difficult to remove and it is obvious I have a brown patch on my forehead.
I tried medical tape from the first aid isle at Shoppers Drug Mart. Worked well but..
I purchased a package of Furlesse patches in my last EDS order. These are far superior to Frownies. Easy to apply, transparent and lift off easily when needed.
