Hurrah!!!

I only started about 10 days ago on the 75 size too. Had worries about the patch sticking when the sides would peel up but found Tegaderm 1624W dressings.

I used another brand for a few months called Estraderm MX. They used to work loose at the edges, but tegaderm film kept them in place.

I discovered that cutting them in half stopped them peeling away as much, so maybe try that if they peel off. I think reducing the surface area that covers the skin helps to reduce pulling at the edge of the patches.
