Yes, I know exactly why I burnt on my first 2 times - I lay there for a full half hour! That was mighty naive and foolish of me! I am now also using SPF on my sensitive parts (back of legs, breasts) and the highest factor on my face - not that my face is fully exposed anyway.
I am using the sunbed at my gym, so I get to hear all the gym sounds around me but sadly no radio. There is a built in fan though. Thank goodness for that.
Inny, I can't recommend a good lotion - all the one's I ever tried from cheap to ridiculously expensive had me turn various shades of orange.
What we do to make us feel better about ourselves!!
