[QUOTE="buddy, post: 476184, member: 12886"] With the Catapres/clonidine patches, they say they stick on (remember they last a week so different need to stay on) even in water, (NOT). They have these disks to put over to protect them and make them stick more....they just caused skin break down. I tried everything, those IV water proof things etc. and nothing worked. I fianlly got the store brand (they are in every drug store under their own name, but they all look the same, I'm sure MADE at the same place) of a bandaid that always has the words.... extra strong/waterproof etc. It has a clear tape around the owie pad in the middle with strings running in a grid pattern across it for strength. You can tell in the picture on it. I get them at walgreens and have also gotten them at cvs. they last a whole week. In addition, I keep hydrocortizone cream to put on right after we take them off because they an itch (again after one day I doubt you will have those issues as much if you use it. When he went thru a phase where he would be bugged by them and threaten to pull them off, I put them on his middle back, near his shoulder blade where it was not easy to pull them off. He doesn't give them a second thought now, it is well worth the training phase for us. [/QUOTE]
