"i&#039;ve been using evra patches for just over 6 months, and my periods are perfectly regular and much lighter than they are naturally. i haven&#039;t experienced cramps, nausea or headaches and didn&#039;t before i used birth control.

however i&#039;ve gained roughly 1.5 stone during use, but i&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s a coincidence or caused by the patch. as a result my breasts are also about a cup size larger.

i always shave a square to help it adhere, i&#039;ve never had one fall off, but they do tend to slide a little and the glue left behind will collect fluff. this means it&#039;s not as discreet as it should be, but this doesn&#039;t bother myself or my partner, and i can easily hide it on my butt cheeks under a bikini.

worth mentioning this is my first birth control."
