Anyone used the patch?

Hi everyone!

I was told that the best thing for me to take after the surgery will be the patch; my doc said I'd be on it for many years. My choices were the patch or the cream.

But now I have a question: Does anyone have any suggestions or comments about making sure they "stick" for three/four days? How inconvenient is it when taking a bath? [I hate showers] Anything else I should get ready for?
btw, I just thought that applying the cream everyday was just not something I'd remember to do, or seem very practical -- lots of hot flashes and sweating, and I don't it to "melt" off me ...

Ahh so many little questions and unknowns ....

Thanks all!

Hi...I was on evorel patches for 11 years and had no problem keeping them on. That glue is so strong, you need baby oil or something to get the black rim off afterwards...

If it does peel off for any reason, you just replace it.....but change it on the regualr day anyway so as not to get mixed up.

Thanks, scriv!

Appreciate the feedback.

I was on the stop-smoking patch a while back, and it kept coming off. I guess I sort of thought it'd be the same. But thank you.

Some brands have a better glueing power than others though...
I used to think evorel used superglue!!
