Stickers? What are they? I know what stickers are. But I'm not sure how it's in relations to the CI. You mean to put the stickers on the CI or something?
Another thing is that you'll probably be going for mappings more often in the beginning. Before eventually branching out as you wear the CI longer. For instance, when I first got my CI, I'd be going every 3 months or so. Now, it's closer to the 6+ months range. Although I do know of some that...
