I also use alcohol. But I just press my finger over the patch so my finger will warm it. THEN, I cut a small piece of Nexcare, sensitive skin, low trauma medical tape, you can get it anywhere, and cover the patch. I cut it a little larger than the patch, so it sticks all the way around.
Dr. Haver, can you please explain if the patch is still effective when bathing or swimming in the ocean? I heard that some people put a waterproof bandaid over it. What do you recommend? Thank you!
So why does it say on the box to not put hrt on arms only down below your tummy which is your tights can someone explain to me I’m new and using hrt but for me the box says that
The hair dryer is probably fine because you're only applying heat for 10 seconds. Prolonged heat, like you would have with a heating pad, is not recommended.
Glad I found this video! Second day on my patch and it was peeling off after a shower. The blower worked and made it stick to my skin. Thanks a lot!

Wow!! I love this Hack.
Nexcare bandages are amazing so- the med tape must be too.
I will try it!
Thank You, so much for sharing.
Thank you for these hacks! As I was having some slight irritation from the patch with my sensitive skin.
Is it okay to wear the patch on our arms?
dont forget to switch locations, especially if there is irritation
Can you use skin prep? Or does that block the absorption?

Nice tips
THANK YOU!! I feel my patch aint working ! ive only had it on for 6 days now..What do you use for the progesterone?? thank you !
I have found scar tape (purchased on Amazon) placed over my patch is very affective in keeping it on.
I wonder if the heat could possibly degrade the estradiol! This would be a good question for the manufacturer
Cool trick, thanks!
My hormone doctor didn’t advise me to take a hair dryer to it.

Can you bathe with patch? I take bathe every night.
