Even if it wrinkles up you are still getting your dosage and if it helps to keep it on by putting a band aid over it, then that's fine as well. As far as placement, the only places you should not use Climara on is on your breasts and anywhere where it can be rubbed off by the friction of your clothes such as on your waist band.
Apply a new patch to a different area to prevent skin irritation. Use a different site when replacing the patch and do not repeat the same site for at least 1 week. If there's nothing that you can do to keep it on, then it is okay to apply another one just alternate the spot, like you normally do. If the area around the patch becomes red, itchy, or irritated, try a new site. If irritation occurs notify your doctor promptly.
