So that worked well!!!!! HRT patch coming unstuck in bath

It’s stuck to my upper thigh. I don’t moisturise so I don’t think I was oily. Perhaps a bit hairy. I’ve just had a bath abs it’s come unstuck.

is there some clever hack to prevent this or am I going to have to keep one leg unwashed for the next twenty years?

I find they always come off my thighs. Something to do with the way my thigh skin and muscles flex and twist when I move. Others find it works for them. I find low belly underneath belly button and to the left and right of there works well as does upper buttock/hip. Tegaderm can help hold them on. Amazon sell it. I use 6cm x 7 cm for an Evorel conti patch

An Evorel one?

That's really unusual - I have a bath every morning and they never come off

I thought they would so I took it off after my first bath and then stuck it on after with surgical tape - DO NOT DO THIS, it did not work

Yes Evorel. I just had some success warming it on my thigh with a hairdryer and it seems to have stuck down again. I shall look up the recommendation on Amazon. Thank you xx

Thigh placement hasn’t worked for me either but, like a PP, they seem to stay firmly in place on the back of my hip/very upper slope of a buttock sort of location.

And fwiw, Zoff wipes are excellent for taking off the stickiness residue after removal.

I put mine on my buttocks & they do well there. I couldn't get on with thighs or tummy for them

You need to put them on your butt, they just rub off if you put them anywhere else.

I couldn't get them to stick anywhere - thigh or bum! Gave up and switched to gel.
