I'm not using it, but i wouldn't want to. I think it's better to take a tablet, rather than have a patch stuck on your arm all the time. If you wear a top with no sleeves you'll always see the patch stuck on your arm.

I watched a report on it on BBC just before they started using it. The best place to put it was on either your bum or your belly.
