"i am 19 years old and was looking for a birth control that was easier for me because i am lazy when it comes to taking pills and forgetful so the patch ultimately would work better with my schedule. i was really nervous trying it out because of some reviews. i jut finished my first month with the patch which i&#039;ve heard it&#039;s the hardest and for me it was really easy. i haven&#039;t noticed any mood swings or any other side effects thankfully. i place the patch on my butt-cheek and i would say the very first time i put it on i automatically started feeling cramps on my tailbone and i have also noticed that my hands are super dry like extremely dry now and i got a few rash on my hands as well. other than that i like the patch."
