Hey there,

I was having problems with the patch, i.e. it fell off a few times and I had to get emergency patch(s).

I talked to my gyno - she said to use rubbing alcohol on the area before you apply it (and obviously, let it dry). I hadn't heard of this before, and I tried it, and it has worked great!

Just thought I'd share.

Thanks!
