Third day in and for the second day, my patch keeps coming off. I followed all of the instructions and tips from the internet. At this stage sticky taping the patch to my arm is the only way to keep it on.

Hi Mattsull I too have had trouble with the patch not sticking🙄 I find when applying the patch make sure the area is dry and hold the patch in place for at least a minute to help it adhere to your skin. Also the patch sticks best on your back. Hope this is helpful😃

Thanks Sparky for your supportive comment. It's been insanely hot here lately, and all of the recommended techniques aren't working because I have olive skin and sweat a bit. Tried dry, cleaned and hairless parts on the arm and back and holding it down for over two minutes. Seems to stick for the first hour okay. I'm a bit better prepared today and using medical tape. Fingers cross :)
