"i love this patch i&#039;ve been on it for about 6 months now and i haven&#039;t had any issues with it. for me i&#039;m constantly on the go changing routines so when i started looking into going on birth control i already knew the pill wasnt gonna work for me. i wouldn&#039;t be able to take it how your supposed to for it to be effective. so i  thought i was stuck then i saw something about a patch. the more i read into it i was like i can do this. change it once a week for three weeks outta four easy enough. and as for my period its done wonders i always had short periods (about 3 days) but it was heavy and the cramps and the worst  thing was nothing would help them either. ever since i started the patch my periods aren&#039;t as heavy and i have little to no cramping"
