"i love it honestly it&#039;s just that my skin is really irritated for the first couple of days. no matter where i put it i&#039;m constantly scratching. it really is better than birth control pills because i only have to worry about it once a week. it&#039;s a myth about the whole use a patch on your patch free week if you don&#039;t want to get your period. i still ended up getting my period the next week so it&#039;s not like you won&#039;t get your period at all. i must admit that it did shorten my period and i don&#039;t really get cramps anymore. i still get acne during that time of month but i&#039;ve always been like that so i don&#039;t blame the patch. overall it&#039;s great i&#039;ve been using it for over a year."
