Patches, how well do they stick?

I've been prescribed HRT patches, but I swim 2 times (sometimes more) a week and use the steam room and sauna. Will I come unstuck (literally!)? Are there any tips to getting them to stick?

Mine are welded to my arse, I swim a lot and have no problems. Ive occasionally had one fall off but its not very often.

On my skin, they stick well. The only exception has been if I've put them on my thigh below my knicker line: because my knickers don't hold them in place at night, they've ended up on the sheets. Otherwise, it's actually a bit of a chore to get them off.

That's good to hear, thank you. Lol at welded to my arse Grin. Will just have to pluck up courage to try them now!

they stick fine - I also swim a few times a week, as long as they are aren't on my knicker line (or bathing suit line) they are fine.
