    Hmm, maybe place a bandaid over the half that's coming off to hold it down? I'm not familiar with patches, so I'm not sure if that would work well or not.

    Make sure you washed before they are put on and put them on a spot that doesn't shift and flex when you move. And for now yea use a bandage or something.

    For the future you could try Tegaderm standard dressings. They are breathable, transparent, and most important waterproof.

    Just ask your pharmacy.

    Not sure. Again, I would contact a pharmacy or a family planning center. They can give you an accurate answer.

    hey guys, just an update for anyone else on patches. the pharmacist said to use cloth medical tape around the edges to insure it does not come off. not the plastic or paper kind.

    thanks all.
