Sorry - I don’t have experience with patches. Hopefully someone will come along with some good advice. You can also click on the search button (top right - magnifying glass icon) and do a search of the site to see possible previous answers/advice about that topic. 

Welcome and congrats on your quit!!

Know nothing about the patches but have read from others on here depends on the brand you buy

Maybe wash the area before you put the patch on to remove excess skin oils...just a thought

The brand sticks like glue.  But they are expensive compared to store brand.  I use Walgreens and they are OK, but if I’m taking a shower I put duct tape over it.  Odd accessory for a bathroom, but it works!

I used the equate brand of patches from Walmart. I never had a problem with them falling off. I used medical tape in the past if I was afraid the patches would fall off. This is before I found the Equate brand patches.
