taping teets

how do you do it and with what?

Also, regarding trimming, what guard do you suggest using?

Teat Tape
$5.00
Our teat tape is a gentle, breathable adhesive tape. Easy to put on and remove; it won't irritate teats. Helps put an end to health and sanitation problems caused by leaking teats.

regular paper tape from the pharmacy.

Make a U down side of teat, up the other side.

Do again perpendicularly.

Loosely secure with length of tape around the teat. NOT TOO TIGHT!

I do it exactly as Alice instructed. I am trying to develop the teats of my FF for easier milking and the tape seems to be helping (taping one side and letting baby have the other).
