I use two per patch. The downside is that unless someone is selling them locally, you have to buy them in quantity (like 50-100) from a wholesaler.

If you go the craft store route, make sure the magnets are either nickel plated or plastic coated, otherwise reaction with perspiration may cause staining of your shirt.

Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks!

ETA- So where did you get yours? From a wholesaler...... I have been looking online and it did seem like they were most commonly available in bulk.
