Estraderm 25

Hello
I’ve just been prescribed Estraderm a few days ago and the patches just don’t stick?! I’ve lost a few already so wondering what I’m doing wrong and fearful they won’t work like this.
I’ve been on Evorel few years ago and I had to rip them off my thigh...
Any positive feedback on Estraderm?
Many thanks

Stick them on your bum instead of your thigh, I don't bother with my thighs anymore as they just lift and peel off but stick fast on my bum!.

I have evorel now but have used estraderm previously and have to say evorel have far better adhesive.

@JeansOnTheRadiator
They were in short supply earlier in the year as jansen stopped manufacturing them but they are now manufactured by theremex and are back in full production so should be easy to get hold of, I’ve had no problem at all.

@rosie39forever thank you, that’s good to know as my symptoms improved a lot on Evorel
