Chris good to hear from you and your experiences with the ALPHA lining.
I also am a BK user. I'am not sure if I have passed on the little trick that I
have used. It has greatly improved the irritation above the knee.
I shave my leg above the knee and will use a light skim coat of A&D on the
area. This has done wonders for the area. It eliminates the liner pulling on
the hair and also keep the area clean.
The main issue I have with the liner now is :
That it is not stable and is very sensitive to stretching after a brief
period of exercise. As the residual limb warms up, I contine to sink into
the liner and then I need to add either a sock or sometimes a sock an a one
ply doubled over for a (sock and a half plus.)
