Comment:
If you go swimming, the patch will come off. I use waterproof tape and tape around my arm. It's easier if you put Vaseline on the bottom half of the arm so all the tape does not stick, making it easier to remove the tape.

used to treat HBP. Only problem is when I wear the patch I broke out red skin rash. If this product was latex-free than it may be a winner.
