Abstract
The present invention relates to topical adhesives used for the attachment of articles to the skin. The topical adhesive provides secure attachment and is pleasing to the skin upon application, yet causes no discomfort and a low level of adhesive residue on the skin upon removal. The topical adhesive is selected to have rheological characteristics determined by the relationship between the elastic modulus G′ and the viscous modulus G″.
