Making the Patch Stick? Please Help!!!! Posted: 08-08-06 08:34am


Okay so I just started the patch and I am on my second week but my fourth patch. I love it but it keeps falling off. As a matter of fact #4 is starting to even though its really sticky so I put that really good clear tape on it. I read this was bad but I want to know (if this is true) why and are there any other options on making it stick?

Hey, I was on the patch for the longest time, and I found that putting it on certain parts of the body helps it stick more. I think that the lower abdomen, and the back of your shoulder blades are the best 2 places (to keep stuck and to hide behind clothing) just make sure that your body is completely dry before you put it on or else it will have a hard time sticking. I think that if you put something on the patch to make it stick can lower its effectivness (at least thats what I heard) if you think that your patch is coming off, just go to your pharmacy and get a "replacement patch" they have those available there.
