Do you hold it in place for at least thirty seconds (two minutes is best really) with a warm palm Liz?

Sticking it down with micropore is not always advised as the hormones are contained in the adhesive so if it's not firmly stuck to your skin the hormones aren't released.

Glad you said that Taz-
I knew using tape wasn't a good idea but couldn't remember why.
Perhaps it will stick in my mind now.........

Hi Taz - yes I'm pressing it down. Unfortunately it came off at Tesco today (was due to change it tonight/tomorrow morning anyway).  Have put the next one on the front of my thigh.  I dont know why I seem to have problems with them.  They seem to curl and get fluff on the edge and then gradually lift.

I put mine towards the top of my buttock - this has been the best place for me. I think my thighs are too wobbly to get the patch to stick down firmly enough  ;D

Might be worth trying lower abdomen, towards the sides, below the hip bones.
Seems to get less rubbing from jeans there, also less wobbly bits.
