"overall, the patch is easy and convenient- especially for a college freshman. i was on the patch for about 4 months and my only complaints are that i struggled placing it somewhere that it didn&#039;t get wrinkled and gross from fabric, i was more emotional (could also be stress from college), and i did gain about 10 pound within those four months. i&#039;m also a runner and swim occasionally, so i have to limit my time in the pool and can&#039;t sweat too much because i&#039;m scared the patch will fall off. otherwise, it cleared up my acne, lessened my symptoms from my period, and my period is perfectly regulated and only last about 4 days. definitely recommend. i found the best place to put the patch is on the upper arm."
