I forgot to put my patch on this morning so I took one to work and changed it there. I usually clean the old glue off the spot where the patch was with rubbing alcohol, but I was at work and figured I'd get to it later. bzzzz. My panties kept gluing themselves to my left cheek all day!

For some reason I can't wait to have that issue.

There are times you just have to turn the other cheek.

Lack of originality. You could have stuck a small piece of paper over the glue spot until you could clean it or knowing where you work, most likely they have denatured alcohol which could be cut 50/50 with water and used as a substitute for rubbing alcohol. In the motor home, we always had the single use packets because my roommate was diabetic. The packets came in handy for a number of cleaning jobs.

Today I learned how Post-it Notes were invented.

I was on patches for 24 months. I used two patches every three days. I would alternate from left to right on my butt. I got tired of cleaning off the adhesive but when I did I would use nail polish remover. I never really had any problems with it sticking to my undies.
For the past month I have been using injectable E valerate.
I am hoping for more results with this form especially with breast development.
In the short term I think maybe my mood is a little better.

Quote from: Kendra on June 30, 2017, 09:29:14 PMNo that's not how it happened but it's close. A scientist at 3M was attempting to develop a super adhesive and ended up with the stuff they use on Post-it Notes. He put it on some paper and distributed it around the office. It turned out to be so popular in the office that they turned it into a commercial product. Success from failure.

You shouldn't be sticking it on the same spot anyway, you will see what your skin does after a while.
I rotate mine between 3 spots and even that is not enough

Much hilarity in this thread!
Rachel, I don't put them in the same spot. The right cheek was the new patch and the glue was where I took one off the left side
Dena, we actually have a 55 gallon drum of isopropyl, but I just expected a lint buildup in the eight hours of work, not adhesion.
Kendra, thanks for the advice. I was in a sticky situation...
Hugs, Devlyn

Also I learned to never stick the patch on your breasts...left a very pronounced red mark that stayed for days.
But that is how desperate we can become about breast growth!

The original patent for Post-it Notes expired. Devlyn, when you file for the Cheeky Patch(tm) patent we might not want to see all your patent drawings.
