My patch comes off before the change date in a week. Any similar experiences?

Hi

I had a similar issue and now stick it between my hip and buttock and find it stays in place with my underwear covering.

Try it and see what you think.

Hey yep I had exact same problem so initially I started taping the very edges of the patch down with tegaderm tape but now I actually change the patch twice a week sat/wed I asked my doctor first and apparently the patch only gives you so much per day so she feels is it safe to do it this way 😊 the only problem is it gets costly...so iv bought a pre paid prescription card it's £10 per month and you can get as many persecutions as you like xx

Having said that after a few months the skin area where the patch goes ends up being a bit rougher texture and the patches seem to stay on much better xx

Ask your dr for a twice a week patch rather than once a week.  I used to alternate around the four spots of each side of abdomen and each buttock.  I found the abdomen ones come off easily because of my stomach fat rolling up when I sit down.  So now only put them on top of buttocks and they stay fast.
