Hi all,
I've recently started my second box of Evorel conti patches,  and whilst the first box were trouble-free, these ones are problematic. The first one didn't seem to stick at all,  and the latest one stuck but now feels crinkly/ dry 36 hours before I need to change it (its still sticking well)..  I'm also feeling very on edge today (which is very unusual for me), and am wondering whether the patch has been fully absorbed already? I'm contemplating putting a new one on, but never had to do that with the first packet.  Has anyone else had similar issues with different packs of patches, could it be a 'dud' packet?

It sounds like it could be a faulty patch. Perhaps you could email the company along with the batch number just to tell them so they are aware? How annoying for you. It may help to apply a Tegaderm dressing over them to see if they will stick a little better until you can get some more.

Thanks Flossieteacake. I have another packet to try,  but they were dispensed at the same time so may have the same issue.  I think I'll try changing them now frequently for now.
