Advice for patch users!
Mon, 09-27-2004 - 7:23am
Hi all! I'm on my second month of the patch, and don't necessarily love it, but it is working. I had a bit of advice for you gals who worry about the patch coming off, or if you're on it and have problems with it peeling up.

A bit of advice: The patch will stick on better if before you apply it, you clean the application site with a bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. This REALLY seems to help it stick on much better. I guess it cleans the natural oils from your skin so you get a better adhesion. But trust me, now it will stick like super glue!

Hope this helps someone out there!
