HRT patches how to remove without tearing skin off

[Leah999]

Just started the patches a few weeks ago and put on alternate bum cheeks, however when removing them it feels like they are going to tear off my skin! Any tips on taking them off without pain please! They are so sticky

Maybe try a different spot? I put them on my hips and don’t ever feel they will tear skin.

Thank you. The doctor told me to put there so didn’t think to try elsewhere! Will give it a go!

I put them on the outside or my thighs . I take them off in the shower which makes them less ‘rippy’ . My skin is very easily broken but I’m ok with them on thighs. Also if you have any body hair where you’re sticking them, I’d shave it first because taking the patches off hairy skin really pulls.

Outside of my thighs I mean
