In the beginning I had to use tape sometimes but it is no longer needed for me. I have found out that I cannot use body lotions on my skin or the patch will not stick. I have "sensitivity to touch" because of the nerve damage so I need to be careful of using body lotions or vapor rubs to avoid the patch not sticking. Hope you find a solutions that works for you. I can not imagine life without Lidoderm patches. I just wish we would be able to wear them 24 hrs a day because bed sheets and covers are painful to me. I have to wear my patch during the day to protect against clothing touchting my thigh. Take care.
