How to Use XyliMelts Discs
Once you get the disc to a comfortable spot, don’t push on it with your finger or touch it with your tongue. It needs to be still and not touched or pushed on for 10 seconds for the adhesion to begin. The adhesion will grow stronger over time and reach full strength in a few minutes.
