Patch MD
Wondering if anyone has used the vitamin patches from Patch MD. I purchased and received them but within an 1 hour they were all off me. They did not stick and fell off. Does anyone else have this issue? If so, what did you do? Where did you have them put on your body?

I use the multi, vit C, calcium/vit D and iron. I do two on each shoulder before bed and remove them in the morning.
If the aren't sticking try these: ensure there is no hair where u put them, ensure the area is dry and no lotion was/is there, try not to touch the pad too much before application. If these don't work you may have a bit of oily skin or some soap residue or something so try cleaning the area with an alcohol swab prior to application just make sure it dries first.
Good luck and hope this helps!

I'm using 3 patches. So far, I haven't had any issues with them falling off. This might sound silly, but I usually put them under my breasts. I feel like the skin is thinner in that area and am hoping to get better absorption. Plus, then I've got something to hold them down . I have put them on my upper arms, and they have stayed in place too.

I have been using the Patches since September 2016. I love them. I put them on right after I get out of the shower (at 5am) after I have dried myself off and then I place them just under where my underwear elastic band sits (so a inch or so below my belly button).
They never move! And when I take them off before I got to bed at 10pm they are crazy sticky and I have to rip them off. I don't use lotion on that area and there is not hair. I use my fingernail to peel it off the paper it comes on and try not to handle it too much. I have had zero problems with them and love them.
Good luck!
