Reply To: Patch Placement Advice?

[Meran Berwyck]

I’m not on HRT anymore, but when my Endo prescribed patches, he suggested pasting them on my buttocks.  I tried it, but they got smudged off easily.  I then began putting them on my upper arm.  They stayed there much better, although they would eventually work their way off.   When I changed patches, I put the new one next to the the previous one, not on the same spot.  It helps if you use alcohol to clean your skin before attaching them, but make sure the alcohol has dried first.
