# X39 Patch Placement: Where to Put It

Primary points

1. **Below the 7th cervical vertebra** (base of the neck): the most common recommendation

2. **Two fingers below the navel**: the second common spot

Alternative locations

LifeWave describes additional points for other patches (for example IceWave, placed around the discomfort zone). For X39, the two primary points are recommended.

Practical notes

  • Skin should be clean and dry
  • Hair-free areas hold better and bother less
  • Press the patch on smoothly, without air bubbles
  • Avoid areas where clothing rubs

    • If it irritates

  • Remove it
  • Move to a different spot next day
  • If irritation persists, take a break
  • If you have a skin condition (eczema, psoriasis), ask your doctor first

    • Rotation

    Change locations every few days — this keeps the skin comfortable. Most long-term users rotate between the two main points.
