Make sure your skin is clean and dry. Hold the patch and press for a couple of minutes. I could swim with them. I did however lose a couple.
andrewrabey hi...I used the patch on one of my quits and had a difficult time getting them to stick...the directions said place on a clean dry hairless spot. I did and put a large bandaid over it to keep it in place. After several days, my skin got red and itchy. I stopped using them and went to the lozenges. I started the lozenges 16 days ago and have been weaning myself down from 4mg to 2 mg and am almost making it a full 24 hours without them! Try medical tape or bandaids.

I have heard some people try putting them on different places on their bodies where they are less likely to sweat. I didn't use them so I don't have any experience...just going by what I have heard.
I put them on my upper arm below my shoulder and switched arms every day. I never had them come off.
I'm using the patch right now. I put some medical tape over it before I get in the shower. Use the tape to make an X and it will stay all day.
