Patch residue!

[saltwater1985]

How do you all remove the nice sticky squares left on your skin after every patch change?
I’ve got nice black fluffy squares on my bum!
tried oil and it wouldn’t shift it

I'm on painkillers patches rather than hormonal ones but I get residue from them too. Some shower gel on a sponge with a rough side and just gently scrub the area in circles usually shifts it. I do mean shower sponges - not the kitchen dishes type one. I usually get them from home bargains.

Having tried everything, the only thing that works for me is nail varnish remover.

Baby oil on cotton wool works for me.

Baby oil on cotton wool, but might take a couple of goes.

Any type of body oil - but the important step is to wait a while before scrubbing- rub it in then leave it for a couple hours (under clothes is fine) and the adhesive will dissolve and then it rubs off. If you try to rub it off immediately with the oil it’s still too ‘stuck’.

Acetone, nail polish remover and probably WD40 ( seriously)

I caved into my Instagram ads and bought this stuff

To be fair, it is excellent.

Zoff wipes.

this works pretty well

Another vote for nail varnish remover. I tried the Nudi spray a PP mentioned but it didn’t seem to do anything at all.

When you take the patch off, use it to rub the residue off. It's a bit like using a bigger blob of blu tak to remove smaller bits.

Another vote for baby oil on cotton wool. Don’t put the patches on your bum though, as reaching that far round to scrub the residue off can be tricky! I stick them on the front/side of my upper thighs.

Baby oil

I've got a Korean flannel. And Amoriolite.
I just scrub when I change legs and shave the sections of thigh I put the patches on.

Baby oil on cotton wool! Takes a bit of scrubbing though.

I just buy medical adhesive remover spray off Amazon - whichever is cheapest at the time. They all seem to work well.
