Hi Billye:

Alan never had to put anything over the lidoderm (lidocaine) patches. Those things were big but they stayed where you put them.

Now the little fentanyl patch, well, Alan was afraid they would come off in the shower so I got in touch with the people who made the fentanyl and they sent us the clear thing, that comes in it's own wrapper. Kind of like a big square bandaid. You take it out of the wrapper, and you peel one side off. Let me tell you, I went through so many of these things, because when you first open it up, you do not know how to use this thing. It unfurls from one side, then you peel it from another side, then you stick it over the fentanyl patch. I will never forget this. But Johnson and Johnson did make this. I will have to look up the name of this item.

Will get back.

Melody

P.S. I'd be afraid to use duct tape too
