places for patches
«

December 08, 2014, 12:57:37 PM »
I'm placing my patch at the top of my thigh.
Imagine wearing a pair of shorts, my patch is 'under the shorts'
I find it hard to put them on the buttock, cos they wrinkle badly as I cannnot see what i am doing
Any other places to put my patch?
thanks.

I put mine on my hip. I don't sit on it, it's above my knicker line and it doesn't wrinkle.

Below waist, above thigh. I rotate around belly button height, either on my tum or bum.

I'm a buttock gal myself, but I do put it on looking in a mirror to make sure I can see to stick it somewhere new rather than on the old black marks!

Bit like Hurdity - Buttocks are good but a mirror is essential.
Oh, and the availability of spare patches, if my aim is poor and crinkles result.........
Practice makes prefect

Hi Ladies
Thanks for your good ideas.
Lol those black marks, but thanks to the advice on here, I have baby oil, which gets them off. Sometimes I get lazy and there are loads of black squares over the tops of my thighs, hahahhaha
I have to find a space among the marks.
Baby oil them off before shower.
Clean off the oil so they stick
My patch has become part of me,
