Thanks, Pulse. I think you have a point of "just slapping it on" being helpful. My doc gave me a sample box of 5 at first, and I swear I screwed up each one of those! Just think- a 15$ value apiece! I've gotten better, but the problem is still an issue, and sometimes i just can't figure out why. I'm usually having best luck on my thighs, so I alternate on them, but sometimes, no matter how secure the patch seems in the AM, by later in the day the edges are not quite on right anymore, or the patch is loose, or whatever. I wonder now, if uneven sticking could be a cause of so many of us having unsatisfactory or wildly different results from it? You know, if it is not firmly attached to skin, is medicine not absorbed completely? Of course I only apply on completely dry skin, no lotion- but that doesn't always matter.
Anyone else got tips for making the patch stick?
