Hi - Femseven has a bit of a reputation for this.

Suggestions I have seen are: 

Apply to clean and dry skin.
Make sure it is warm before you apply - stick it down your underwear for 10 minutes first.
Hold it down for at least a minute, if not two.
Hairdryer?  ;D  (mine is a bit hot, so I would go warily on this one)

I don't have first hand knowledge, but hopefully someone will come along who has used it successfully.

Hi Lynne13

It's not a good idea to stick tape over patches because you can't tell whether the entire patch is stuck down so well underneath the tape - although some women do use this technique.

I can't help re Femseven because I've never used them but I've never had any trouble with Estradot using the warm palm technique - although these patches are tiny by comparison.
