I have noticed that cleaning it with rubbing alcohol or even soap and water but kinda scrubbing the skin a bit works too.
It also makes a difference if you place it on a bendable/movable part of your body. I try the top of my thigh where there is less muscle movement. But sometimes none of this works for me, I dont know why and I end up using medical tape on it too, YUCK!
Also, someone mentioned it fell off in 2 or 3 days, you are suppose to change the patch every 2 or 3 days per your docs instructions.
HERE's A WAY TO
MAKE SURE THE PATCH STICKS....
using Tincture USP Benzoion Compound (over the counter, or ask pharmacist) before applying the patch, with a q-tip out line on your back when the adhesive is going to be, let it dry a few seconds it will be very sticky, tacky, then apply the patch there. It was a miracle for me, the patch sticks, stays in place, and when it comes off, it peels very smooth and does not take any of my skin with it. No bleeding, no scabs and no irritiable painful feeling when taking the glue/adhesive off, just a warm soapy wash cloth takes it off and it is left nice and smooth.
