Question for those who have used the vitamin patch for a while...
Been using these for quite a while. When I first started using them, they really stuck in place. Now they are falling off in less than an hour. Not sure if I got a bad batch, or if others are having the same issue?

Do you have oils or lotions on your skin?
I wear them overnight, I started in the summer when daytime swimming might be an issue...and decided I liked doing it that way better. I usually wear them on my chest, so I don't forget to remove them.
I have not had any peeling/falling off problems

I do use a lot of moisturizer, but am careful not to use it in the spot the patch goes on. They don't stay on overnight (tried).

I've experienced this also but found cleaning the area first with an alcohol pad then letting it dry before applying the patch worked well.

Most of them stay put until I peel them off. Unless I put them in area that gets a lot of friction.

I've been on them for 6 months now... I put them on my shoulder blades, and I don't put any lotion there (The directions do say to avoid areas with lotion for better absorption.
I did get one batch that didn't stick as well though a couple of months ago... maybe a bad batch like I had?

Pretty sure it is a bad batch. I ordered several months worth, so just getting around to this new pack. Pretty sure it is a production issue.
