Patches going brittle

I've been on Everol Conti for just a week. On my second patch.
Both have gone dry, brittle and fallen off.
I've read a lot about them coming off but nothing about them going brittle.
They are almost crispy after 24 hours.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Is it normal?
I can't imagine there is any active ingredients left once they go hard.
At the moment I'm keeping the patch on with lots of layers of tape.

I don't know what's normal for other women, but this has never happened to me in over a year of taking Everol Conti. The patches stay flexible until I take them off. Have you checked the expiration date?

Hi, yes they are in date until June 2025.
The pharmacy had to order morr in so they were delivered "fresh".

Maybe check with your GP? Like you, I'd be concerned that the patches aren't doing their job if they're going brittle and not staying on. They're supposed to stay on with no problem. Sorry you're having to cope with this, OP.
