It takes a few days of practice.
Dont ever touch the sticky side. Unpeel it from the side, put that part of the exposed patch on your skin, then work off the other side of the plastic covering from the back side.
There were days, even after using it for two months, that the patch still fell off. And yes, I would try putting it back on with a band-aid on each side. Never really worked. Sometimes I just let it go and didnt put one on until next day. If it happened in first few hours, then I would put on a new patch.
But if you put it on correctly, which means never ever never touch the sticky side with your fingers, that patch will stay on your body through showers, swimming in the pool, diving off short cliffs into the ocean, whatever.
Good luck, and if you have any more q's, e me.
