How to restore



The first step to restore is to sign up to the NOCIRC-NORM-SA Yahoo Email List. This is essential, as a constant source of encouragement, motivation and education, and also will keep the mind ticking over should you delay starting. We cannot emphasize this enough! Even if you are undecided sign up to keep yourself informed – you can always remove you name in an instant. It is also a place for people to gather and discuss awareness-raising ideas.

    A suggested starting point for most South Africans is:

    1) Start with the:

    • T-Tape Technique which is the most commonly used ‘taping technique’. For this you will need:

      • A suspender strap – Woolworths has these pre-made, or contact a sewing store/tailor – or see the TLC option below which sends you one in the pack. Some may need to buy suspender clips and elastic band at a sewing shop and make a strap)
      • Micropore 2 inch wide tape (local SA pharmacy), and;
      • Transparency paper (PNA).
      • That is it, then go to the T-Tape Technique picture book, to learn how to make them.

    2) At the same time order the following:

    • The TLC Tugger is very popular, and Ron Louw that operates the company is very helpful and professional. Generally you would start with this order:
      • A  Canister Starter Kit for $12 and associated tape for it, the  2″ Mefix Tape – 35 Day Roll – 11 yards for $10.25  .
        • This will allow you to grow skin early on and dispense with the t-taping option if you like.
      • The original TLC kit for  $60 – includes the TCL Tugger, a retaining cone, and 2 suspender straps.
      • A Packer for $22 – for when you are not tugging, in order to keep coverage and retain sensitivity. Size PO is the beginning size
      • And finally $24 Postal Insurance (required if you want to actually get the package in South Africa). Total = $128.25
    • The instructions files for the TLC are downloadable/viewable here.
    • NB: you need to send Ron some measurements to get the correct size.
