Vitamin Patch Placement

For those that are on the Vitamin Patches where do you find the best success placing them? I've been putting them on my lower back but within a few hours they've gone missing [emoji16] Lol.

They can be squirrelly little buggars. Lol. I put mine under my bra on the side. This seems to hold them in place and keep them undisturbed. I also had some success with the bottom of my feet.

I read somewhere to tape edges with surgical tape or put a band-aid over the patch.

Does it seem like the Patches are doing the trick? Are you getting the full dose of Vitamins you need?

I put mine on the tops of my shoulders, so that my bra strap rests on top of them and helps hold them in place. Seems to work well for me - I had the same problem with them falling off in a matter of hours when I tried putting them on my hips or lower back.

This is where I wear them as well.

i typically put mine on the under portion of my forearms... They stay but I am going to try and find a few other placed to put them myself.
