Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been on the patch now for about a month and a half, and was previously on Nuvaring for birth control. Since I&#039;m not a huge fan of oral contraceptives (I forget to take pills regularly) this seemed like the perfect option. Unlike Nuvaring, my libido hasn&#039;t disappeared a month into my new regimen, I don&#039;t seem to be gaining weight, and I don&#039;t have headaches. In response to the people who say the patch doesn&#039;t stay on, try wiping the application site with some rubbing alcohol on a cotton round. I haven&#039;t had trouble with the patch staying on once, and I&#039;m six patches in. The only problem is that sometimes the adhesive around the edges gets some lint stuck to it or the patch will wrinkle a bit in the middle, but other than that it&#039;s great"
