Best plasters to keep HRT patch on!
I'm fed up with buying various plasters to keep my patch on as they keep curling at the ends.. any recommendations of plasters that really work? Thanks 😊

Where are you sticking them?
@Vicki My thighs.
I tried my thighs and bum but a nurse told me to try my tum (under my belly button) and that works much better and apparently better for absorption too 😍
@Vicki interesting as I thought we had to avoid that area?
@Clare (can't see waves) no apparently if we read the instructions it says that’s the best place and mine stick so well it hurts when having to rip it off to change it 😂
Hello 🙂 You might want to consider switching to gel from patches - using stuff to keep patches on isn't ideal as less than full contact with skin means absorption is affected. I couldn't keep patches on *at all*, and they'd slide off after a day! 🙂🩷
