A WOMAN is threatening to sue a lingerie company after she claims a stick-on breast support ruined her sex life on holiday.
Hazel Hitchin used the special boob-pad to boost her cleavage as she did not want to wear a bra with a low-cut dress.
But after a night out on holiday in Majorca Hazel says she got into trouble when trying to peel off the pads.
She is now planning to claim compensation from the product's makers.
Hazel, 52, from Middlesbrough, said: "After our night out I peeled the left support from my breast and felt the most appalling pain.
"It took a two-inch chunk of flesh leaving an open wound. It took 45 minutes to remove the rest of the stick-on from my skin.
"I was in pain for six days until it scabbed over and I could not go to the pool for fear of infection.
The pads, which cost £6.99, are sold as "the perfect undergarment" enabling women to wear backless and strapless dresses.
Hazel, who works for a pension company, has complained to trading standards officers and is considering taking legal action at the county court.
Her husband, Stephen, a 41-year-old quality inspector, said: "It ruined both our holidays."
The supports are made by the Brazabra Corporation in America.
UK distributor Kieran Hughes, from Norfolk, said the product would not be so successful if there were any problems, adding: "I can tell you that this woman will not get a penny."
