An adhesive system having a first layer including a first layer material having a top and a bottom having a bottom perimeter, and a first layer adhesive on the bottom for attaching to skin, the first layer having an inherent modulus of elasticity. The adhesive system also includes a second adhesive along only the bottom perimeter, where the first layer includes a plurality of modifications therein that result in the first layer having an effective modulus of elasticity that is lower than the first layer's inherent modulus of elasticity.
