try buying some surgical (or other) tape and taping over top of the patch, it would affect the absorbtion and will hopefully stay a little better. Also be sure you put it in an area that doesn't get wet on a regular basis and that has (as you mentioned) minimal hair growth.
Many people struggle with this - so dont' think it's something you haven't done right.

Well, some patches fall off some people. Clean the area with rubbing alcohol,let it dry, and then try the patch. This might help it stick better. I have even taped it in place!! Good luck and don't give up.

You may think that you are not sweaty but maybe, just maybe you are. Make sure that the area is completely dry, I suggest rubbing the area with a bit of alcohol to remove any traces of grease or sweat.

You probably have oily skin, try wiping the spot with rubbing alcohol first, when it dries, apply the patch.
