"i&#039;m 17 and have been using the ortho evra patch for about 2 years now, i absolutely love it!! it helped out my periods a lot! before i was on the nuvaring and i hated it compared to the patch! it&#039;s so easy to remember and easy to apply! it just looks like a nude color band aid, i just apply it to my butt cheek so no one can see it. the first few weeks i had some problems, but after i&#039;ve never had another problem with it! i highly suggest it! and it definitely prevents pregnancy!"
