"i&#039;m, 20, been on the patch for almost a year. i switched to the xulane patch after taking birth control pills got annoying. this works great for me, periods are regular, light, little to no cramping and no pregnancy. i am getting a little annoyed with switching it every week, but other than that it works well. i have had no problems with it sticking and staying stuck all week. i have not been swimming with it on and only takes baths when i am not wearing it."
