I apologise for the daft question😳 but I need peace of mind as patch fell off in less than an hour and I can't get patch to restick and I know it says if one drops off just put a new one on. I guess in my mind im wondering if you get some type of surge of it when first applying a new patch or is this just me over thinking it. Thank you for being here x

I had problems with my first 2. Then after reading advice on this forum I do this...warm patch in hand. Warm skin with hairdryer. Peel off plastic and press patch as hard as you can for a whole minute. I put mine on hip under knickers..they always last a week now. Good luck xx

I have a little tip that might help your patches stick on better and stay on too. I struggled at the beginning too so tried a few things. Have a mug of boiling water, hold the patch in your hand and place against the hot mus for a minute, then place on skin. It seems to make it stickier and worked every time for me. Good luck, hope this will help. x

What brand of patch is it? I have Evorel and so far not had any problems. If anything it's too sticky as develops an outline of fluff from my clothing over a few days.
You shouldn't get a surge of hormones from a new patch as the absorption rate should be constant. Having said that, apparently placing patch over a 'fattier' area will reduce absorption and vice versa.
Also, I change mine before bed so the skin shouldn't have any creams or oils on it from bathing/showering and in my mind allows a good amount of time to settle on before I shower. I think we all overthink these things!!!!
