I just tried this today for the first
time, and the patch doesnt seem to be
adhering well. By the end of the day
there is a ripple through the middle that
is open on the ends, and some of the edges
are loose. I put it on this morning
before teh gym, and before my shower. Is
that the problem? Do I need to put a
fresh one on since the edge seal to my
skin is not tight? Thanks for the help.

That happened to me too. So long as the
patch itself hasnt peeled off, you're
fine. They say it should be 80% adhered
at all times. The ripple through the
middle is totally normal (especially if
you're wearing it on the front, lower
abdomen). If the edges are just barely
peeling, that's ok too. It's only a real
problem if the patch is like 1/4 off (or
one whole corner has peeled off). Hope
that helps!

The second patch I ever wore rippled in
the middle and I freaked out. It did not
fall off and the ripple was not big but I
replaced it anyway cuz I was too paranoid.
Ive foud that the best place to put it is
on your butt it doesnt get even the
slightest bit unstuck there. Usually I
put it on after taking a shower, I dont
know I just think its gonna stick better
because the area is gonna be cleaner
