Title: FemSeven Conti patch not sticking
Post by: Flossieteacake on December 30, 2021, 03:45:49 PM
Has anybody got any advice on how to get these patches to stick? I have tried Tedaderm dressings and surgical tape. I have also tried putting them in all different areas. I was unable to tolerate a separate form of progesterone and these have given me the least side effects so I would really like to continue. Thank you.

I am just about to start using the same patch, i did read something about warming skin with a hairdryer first.

Thank you. I read that too. I press my hand against the patch for a minute. Good luck with trying the patches.

Hope they work for you once you resolve the sticky problem!

I was so hopeful for those, but they when I tried them they gave me a red ring on my skin that lasted weeks after taking off, so had to stop using them. I'm fine with the Estradot 50 though!

Good luck!! :)

I get a red ring too. I am sorry you could not use them but it is great you can use the Estradot 50. Thank you for replying.
