Was your skin properly prepared for the patch, with shavings, abrading, cleaning, etc.? I've not had one myself but have watched a video about preparing the skin for a zip xt patch.

I reckon you could just be unlucky. My first kept falling off. The second was fine.

I had a similar problem when it was humid and I exercised a lot.I put tape over it during the day and replaced it at night.

Mine came off too because I exercised a lot with it on. I used duct tape. I worked perfectly. I had to replace the tape a couple of times.
