Where to Place Your LifeWave X39 Patch for Best Results
Your guide to patch placement, real-world tips, and how to know what works best for your body.
If you're new to LifeWave patches, one of the most common questions is:
Where do I place the X39 patch for the best results?
Let’s walk through this together, and I’ll share how I personally use it and what I’ve learned from supporting others on their wellness journey. I am asked this question frequently, and I want you to know that you have a great deal of flexibility with your placement of X39 patches.

✅ LifeWave’s Recommended Patch Placement
LifeWave recommends placing your X39 patch in one of two locations:
Back of the neck – over the C7 vertebra (that bony point at the base of your neck)
Just below the belly button – 2–3 finger-widths beneath your navel
These locations are based on acupuncture points and studies showing strong systemic effects.
🌿 What I Personally Recommend
While those two locations are officially recommended, you're not limited to them.
In my personal use, and when helping others, I often say:
Place the patch where you feel your body needs support the most.
For example:
If my shoulder was bothering me, I might place the X39 patch right on that area.
It’s not that the patch provides instant relief, but it may help your body focus its support in that area. And after placing the patch? Try drinking a glass of water to make sure that you are hydrated enough for the patch to actually work.
And remember: X39 works systemically, no matter where it’s placed.
🧭 Using the “Clock Method” with Lifewave AEon Patches + X39 Patches
Some people combine X39 with the Aeon patch and use something called the Clock Method:
Place the Aeon patch on the area where you feel discomfort (e.g., knee, hip, back)
Then test the X39 patch in the 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock positions around it. Leave it in each spot for about 30 seconds to see how the placement feels.
Pay attention to how your body feels, many people notice subtle changes and find a “sweet spot”
It’s a beautiful way to let your body be part of the decision.
💡 Practical Tips for Better Results
Hydration is key. After applying your patch, I always recommend drinking a glass of water with electrolytes or a pinch of sea salt
If you’re sensitive to adhesives, stick the patch on the inside of your clothing, as long as it’s touching your skin, it will still work
If the patch starts to peel, use paper or medical tape to keep it secure throughout the day
🕒 How Long to Wear the X39 Patch
Wear for up to 12 hours, then remove
Wait 12 hours before applying a new one (LifeWave uses a “12 hours on, 12 hours off” protocol)
Use one patch per day, more is not better. Think consistency, not intensity
❓Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to place it in the same spot every day?
Not at all. You can rotate between the recommended spots or place it where you feel discomfort. Listen to your body and adjust as needed.
What if I have adhesive sensitivity?
You can place the patch on the inside of your clothing, directly touching the skin. This is a great option for those with delicate or reactive skin.
Can I use more than one X39 patch at once?
LifeWave recommends using one patch per 24-hour cycle. More isn’t necessarily better, it’s the daily rhythm that matters most.
Should I shower before or after patching?
Apply to clean, dry skin. Avoid using lotions or oils in the area. I don’t recommend wearing patches in the shower or sauna. You can wear your patch in water, but the adhesive may loosen up and be less effective. If this happens I suggest using paper tape to help attach your patch.
💫 Why So Many People Love Using X39
One of the things I’ve noticed after supporting hundreds of customers is that LifeWave X39 becomes a daily ritual people look forward to.
Why? Because when used consistently, many report:
Better sleep
Faster post-workout recovery

About Megan Graham
Megan Graham is a lifelong competitive athlete and two-time "Best of Boston" award-winning hairstylist with 24 years in the professional beauty industry. After building a successful career in Boston, her world shifted when she developed sensitivities to the fragrances and chemicals she'd worked with for years.
At first, it felt devastating. Beauty was her career, her passion - and suddenly she couldn't use most products she loved. But instead of giving up, she made it her mission to find clean alternatives that actually worked. What she discovered surprised her: not only could she find effective low-tox products, many performed better than their conventional counterparts. But it took years of testing and significant investment to separate what truly works from what's just marketed well.
Today, Megan shares those discoveries and brings new wellness modalities into the spotlight - helping others discover solutions they might never have known existed.
For her, it's what makes everything feel like it happened for a reason: turning her own health challenges into a way to genuinely help others feel beautiful without compromise.
When she recommends a product, it's with her whole heart.
