It took me like 3 weeks. And not to freak u out I think its cause of the stitches and the way they cut me. But my stuff hasn't tightened. And I do the exercises and haven't seen any results. It awful to be having sex and cotter farting.(probably spelled wrong). It crazy embarrassing. It makes me cry.

Mine dissolved at day 10. Be prepared for it to be uncomfortable and feeling like your tearing again. I freaked out when mine dissolved because i thought i tore myself again because it pulls and tightens.

Yea mine took about 2-3 weeks but the itchiness stuck around for about another week. Just give it time. I used ice packs when it got to much for me. :-)

They disolve fairly quickly I think mine where gone in less then 14 days but the pain stuck around for weeks and felt like I was sitting on thorns everytime I sat down! Worst time of my life!
