GoBe U and Sensitive Skin: Tips for Comfortable Use

If you have sensitive skin, it's important to take a few simple steps to ensure your experience with the GoBe U Smart Life Band is both safe and comfortable.

Best Practices for Sensitive Skin

Avoid Using Moisturizers Under the Band

• Refrain from applying creams, oils, or cosmetics under the device sensors
• These substances can interfere with sensor performance and may contribute to skin irritation

Keep the Area Dry After Activity

• After workouts, swimming, or showering, be sure to dry both your wrist and the inside of the band
• Trapped moisture can increase skin sensitivity and discomfort

Consider Skin Conditions

• Scars, tattoos, wounds, or inflammation on the wrist may affect measurement accuracy
• In some cases, they may also increase the chance of skin irritation

Materials in Contact with Skin

GoBe U is made from materials that are generally safe and hypoallergenic:

• Bioimpedance sensor pad: Titanium
• Optical heart rate sensor: Polycarbonate plastic
• Device housing: ABS plastic with hypoallergenic coating
• Strap: Silicone
• Buckle: Anodized aluminum

These materials are commonly used in wearables and are well-tolerated by most users.
However, if you’ve experienced contact dermatitis or irritation from wearable devices before, it’s best to monitor your skin closely when first wearing GoBe U.

By following these tips, you can help reduce the risk of discomfort and enjoy a smooth experience with your smart band. If irritation does occur, stop wearing the device and consult a healthcare professional if needed.
