Patches not sticking

Is anyone else’s experiencing this? They coming unstuck and rolling off. I aren’t putting any products near the patches. I’ve gone through three pages patches in a week. I concerned about my prescription running out too early at this rate.

Is your skin properly dry when you’re trying to put them on? Not just had a shower for example? I’ve had 1 patch that I had to replace early but that’s in about 6 weeks so no I’m afraid it’s not the norm.

Where are you putting them? Bottom is best, thighs they tend to peel more easily. Use bar soap and a friction mit on your bot, dry thoroughly and no creams. See if that does the trick if not must be the batch or the brand ?

That shouldn't be happening. Are they Evorel? I find they stick like superglue. Are you sticking them on your bum, on clean dry skin?

Same. I started on Everol 50 and it was fine so was 75. Now on 100 and the buggers will not stay on. So I got Tegaderm from Amazon to go over the top and it works really well. You can get it in a roll as tattoo dressing also and cut it to fit slightly bigger than the patch. It has the bonus of not attracting all the crap round it too!

I also transitioned to only having micro fibre knickers!

I was going to suggest this stuff too. I use the tattoo dressing but not the tiny pants!

Oh sorry, micro fibre not micro knickers 😂
