This can happen from time to time however can be easily fixed! Please apply your patch to an approved area at your discretion taking into consideration: clothes, towels/sheets/etc, loose skin, sweat and any excess oils on the skin (whether from body wash, body lotion etc). These things can cause movement in the patches so please pay close attention to which areas work the best for you. Heat/humidity, swimming, and showering will not affect the patch adhesive when applied firmly. 

 

If a patch is applied to an area that is not suitable for you, taking the patch off and reapplying somewhere else will not affect the adhesive. If your patch is lifting, we would recommend swapping it to a place with less friction such as your inner wrist or outer thigh where it is typically less affected by clothes rubbing against it.

 

To apply the patch: Place the patch/patches directly onto an approved area of choice. Ensure skin is clean and dry (free from moisturiser, oil, or sweat), smooth the edges over with your fingernail, and further place your palm over the patch to allow your body warmth to allow the adhesive to adhere to the body better. Leave on for 7 days, then remove and discard. Replace with only 1 patch on the opposite side of the body. Continue replacing with just 1 patch on the opposite side of the body each week for the remainder of your SBN journey.
