I put mine on my thigh. When I’m sitting down it looks quite high up my thigh, but when I stand up it looks about 1/3 of the way down. I think I might not be absorbing it very well, and wondered if there’s a better place to put it?

On my fat butt cheeks 😂

Mine goes on the top of my thigh, just below my knicker line - after some experimenting, it's the place least likely to come off.

ImAGullibleIdiot · 11/12/2023 06:45

Mine go on my hips.

Top of my thigh towards the outside.

Mine goes on the top of my butt at the back, just below my G string if that makes sense, alternate sides.

On the side of my hip

On my bum. Tried my thigh but I could feel it all the time, I was too aware of it.

Don't notice it on my bottom.

At the base of my stomach just below my knicker line. Tried bum and thigh but it rubbed off.

Octavia64 · 11/12/2023 08:47

Thigh.

Tried my bum but it comes off really easily.

EverySporkIsSacred · 11/12/2023 09:49

Same as you it sounds like and I've not had a problem.

Pater01 · 11/12/2023 12:08

Just above bum, so not actually sitting on it, and I dont notice it. Plus I do wear granny knickers now 😂

WhereAreWeNow · 11/12/2023 20:24

On my arse

Christine0708 · 12/12/2023 14:26

Middle of bum cheek and alternate side x

Stillwearingskinnies · 12/12/2023 14:29

Mine goes at the top of my thigh. I haven't had any problems with it coming off yet

Passthecake30 · 15/12/2023 06:59

Just under and along from my hip bones, under my knickers.

I asked the consultant about this - you have to use something like white spirit to remove the sticky stuff. It just doesn’t come off otherwise (those black lines around the perimeter…). So if you put a new one on top or partly over where the last one(s) were they may not get absorbed as well.
I still can’t believe everyone’s not told this !
