Getting estraderm patches to stick properly

[user1471471539]

Wondered if anyone had any tips? I've been moved to estraderm from estradot due to the shortage. I've been using estradot for a couple of years with no issues.
Estraderm patches seem huge comparatively, and I don't seem to be able to get them to stick properly. I used to put the estradot on my bikini line and never had an issue, but now I'm finding it hard to fine a place where I don't bend or ahem, have fine hair and they just peel off, don't stick and curl round the edges. Im following all the instructions. Any thoughts?

I stick mine on my buttock. Seems to work fine.

I sent my estraderm ones back, they were like barely sticky cellophane.

Evorel are brilliant in comparison.

I just called the pharmacy and said they werent working.

I cut mine in half and put them side by side above bikini line. They stick fine though if not cut. I always apply after a shower and I kind of roll it on whilst taking the backing off. I put my hand over it for a few seconds. Shave any fine hairs off.

Thank you. I'll go back to the pharmacist if the problem persists, I hadn't thought of that, or cutting them in half.

I used Evorel for years and never had any problems; was then given Estradot which were also problem-free, but those pesky Estraderm never stuck!

Supplies of Evorel now seem OK so back on those, thank goodness.

A poster on another thread recommended tattoo protecting plasters to me, they are very thin and hold brilliantly plus they stop all the fuzz from my clothes sticking to the edge of my patch!
