Is the bending of the slice Evra and slight peeling off of the edges when sitting down affects its effectiveness?
9.99 zł

The evra patch bends when sitting down. On the attached photo you can see that when you sit down, the plaster slightly deforms and the side peels off slightly. When the body is straightened, however, the patch straightens only very slightly on this side from the side. The photo shows what it looks like now. This is my first time using the patches, hence the concern. This is the 3rd day of wearing the patch.

According to the manufacturer's information, for the patch to work properly, it must adhere tightly to the skin, also along the edges. If the patch adheres loosely, sticks out or comes off, the manufacturer recommends appropriate treatment depending on how long it takes for the patch to adhere inadequately:

1) less than 24 hours - apply the patch again, and if it is no longer sticky enough, it has stuck or something has stuck to it - immediately apply a new patch.

2) more than 24 hours or if you are unable to judge when it has started to peel off - start a new four-week cycle immediately and apply a new patch. The day of applying the patch is the new "Day 1", and a new "Day of Patch Change" is also established. It should be remembered that for the first week of the new cycle, an additional, barrier method of contraception (e.g. a condom) should be used.

If the patch has been loose for 3 days or you are unable to tell when it started to stick out at the edges, follow step 2). Remember to apply the patch to clean, dry, hairless and undamaged healthy skin around the buttocks, abdomen, outer upper arm or upper torso, where tight clothing will not rub it. Perhaps sticking it higher than the current place or in another place that is less mobile will allow it to adhere tightly and thus work properly.
