Oppy,
I have about a quarter, of a flector patch on my low back all day.
(Using just a small part, I don't worry about taking them off, until I shower, or, they just fall off).
But, It's been effective all day today!
That' good news.

Heck, I don't really remember when I put it on? It must've been during my "sleep", early AM. (OK, now you know I haven't showered today yet).
But, i will, and it's still working!

I'm starting to believe, the Flectors may work a bit better than the lidocaine's, (Is my point)....
