"i was on the ortho evra patch for about a year and a half and was very pleased. it only needs to be changed once a week so it&#039;s much more convenient than daily pills. it also really helped clear up the mild-moderate acne that i had previously struggled with. i didn&#039;t notice any weight gain while i was on the patch and my bust went up a cup size. the only possible downside is that when i stopped the patch i dropped 5 lbs in a week, so i guess i had put that weight on slowly. overall, i would say this is a great option for those who are looking for the convenience of a once a week change and are comfortable with side effects of maybe some slight weight gain and bigger breasts."
