Title: Patches and holidays
Post by: jen609 on January 25, 2024, 03:14:07 PM

Hi all,

For anyone using patches what do you do when on holiday? How are they with swimming etc?

I have girlie spa weekend next month and plan on using the pool and then a holiday in March where I’d like to be able to swim too. I know patches stay ok in the shower but what soaking for a period of time?

Would be good to hear your experiences so I know if I should take extra encase.

Thanks

Jenny

My Evorel patches have always been fine when I've been swimming in the sea or pool and also while in hot tubs.

Is there any info in the leaflet in the box?  MayB take extra patches with you in case they float away when swimming as well as judging when to apply after taking a dip.

We have a holiday 24 thread too ;-).
