Hi All!

I recently started wearing a birth control patch, and I have a question about the adhesive.

What do/can you use to take off the adhesive residue that is left after taking the patch off?

Thanks for you help!

Just leave it alone for a few days-when it gets black and gunky you can just roll it into balls....narnarhehehe(try Avon Skin so soft)
