My suggestion is to ALWAYS wipe the application area with an alcohol wipe, allow the area to dry a few seconds, then apply your patch. It will easily remain stuck to you for 7 full days.

Anyways, Im on the Climara.025mg patch and I put it on the top of my buttocks. I will rotate to my lower abdomen next week. I will roate for three weeks, then go off the patch for one week basically to try and mimic my natural cycle wich i dont have due to surgery.

I have used for 15 years. Works great! For those that have problems keeping it on try washing that area with a non oil soap like ivory and make sure to dry area before applying. I found this has helped greatly.

I have been on this for 19 years after a full hysterectomy. I have tried coming off several times last time determined to persevere. I became irritable, unbearable hot sweats day and night, no sex drive. I am back on and will not be coming off again.
