Patch testing

Having a patch test next week. I know it’s a large patch applied on Monday, checked Wednesday and removed Friday and that whilst it’s on I can’t wash my back or do anything that would get my back wet.
But how easy it with clothing? Sleeping? I’ve no idea how big it is, can I wear a bra?
Really looking for any hints and tips.
Thanks on advance

Hi, I had this done last year. I had 100s of them so on all of back and arms.

You'll be fine with a bra and all standard clothing. I didn't find sleeping a problem but was a bit careful when stretching or moving quickly as they can come loose.

They'll give you some tape in case it does but I managed without.

Wasn't too arduous but I was so happy to wash my hair on the Friday evening!!
