"i have to say, i was terrified of starting the patch after reading so many awful reviews. over the past 8 years i&#039;ve been on 4 different combined pills, all of which eventually made me nauseous and caused me to vomit soon after taking them. so i was really worried the patch would have similar side effects. i&#039;m now 6 weeks in (so have had my first break) and have to say it&#039;s great. i haven&#039;t had any problems with it coming off or peeling and i barely notice it! obvious negatives are how noticeable it is and the yucky stickiness you get around the edge, but these are bearable. the only side effect that&#039;s bothered me is how sore my boobs are all the time - i can barely put my bra on! upside though.. they&#039;ve grown! overall, good easy method"
