I only have one area on my upper arms that they seem to stay put. Upper chest/breast area gets very irritated, and above the waist band gets very sweaty and just doesnt work out.

Does anyone place their patches on the upper thigh or hip area?

1. lower abdomen on either side, underwear will hold it in place unless you wear a thong.
2. on your back shoulder area, especially if you have someone who can help put it there, but not where the bra strap will rub. shoulder blade area
3. under the upper arm, you know where the fat sorta hangs down on older ladies (sorry if you are an older lady or have fat arms, no offense meant)
4. upper thigh, but if you wear tight jeans this is not a good spot
5. upper buttocks jsut above the butt area kinda where nurses give shots, but below waistband of pants.
6. or on your arms, most people just assume it is a patch to quit smoking
Hope this helps
