Vitamin Patch Placement



Recommended Posts

For those that are on the vitamin patches where do you find the best success placing them? I've been putting them on my lower back but within a few hours they've gone missing Lol.

They can be squirrelly little buggars. Lol. I put mine under my bra on the side. This seems to hold them in place and keep them undisturbed. I also had some success with the bottom of my feet.

Never considered the bottom of my feet...gotta try that one. I have one on my boob now HAHAHA!. It's the on that fell off this morning so I just stuck it in my bra. It's staying tight so I think I'll keep doing the bra method ????...Thanks!

I put my multi Vitamin patch on my upper arm, where a shot is typically given, but wear it overnight in my pjs. During the day I put my vit. B12 in various places. Shoulder, butt, lower back. Once I placed it over a tattoo and got a rash.

I read somewhere to tape edges with surgical tape or put a band-aid over the patch.< /p>

Does it seem like the Patches are doing the trick? Are you getting the full dose of Vitamins you need?

I put mine on the tops of my shoulders, so that my bra strap rests on top of them and helps hold them in place. Seems to work well for me - I had the same problem with them falling off in a matter of hours when I tried putting them on my hips or lower back.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
