So I have been using this for only 4 days, I was on orthoevra for a year before switching to this generic. The reviews scared me tremendously, there was nothing nice said, which was probably because noone with a nice review thinka to post it online. So here is some positive words. So everyone says this patcj doesnt stick at all, I am very active and I swim often. Its all about placement. I wear mine in my pupic hair lone line ( I shave, not wax) so my hair grows under the patch. I have swam every day for extended amounts of time woth the patch on, I have showered, I have had sex, I have worked out.... all without the patch falling off or starting to unstick. All the edges are fine, its not rippling. Next thing, I have had no horrible side effects, my only one this far is some break through spoting on the second and third daywhi h has gone away. Ill write another review at the end of the month. But as for now everything is fine.

2 weeks of use- This patch comes off too easily and experienced side effects: mainly bloating/ gas, diarrhea, dizziness and swing with blood sugar. None of which I had with ortho evra patch. I cannot tolerate these side effects with my current medical problems and will have to discuss with my dr. Very disappointed!

I've been on Ortho-Evra for 9 years then w/o my knowledge I was switched to Xulane two months ago. Each month I had a patch come off once in the shower the other wouldn't even stick right out of the box. In the 2 months I've gained 6 pounds, have missed 2 cycles and have started experiencing acne.

I have been on every type of birth control and my doctor finally switched me to this patch. I have never been on Ortho evra but the reviews make me want to try and switch. This patch has been nothing but trouble, it does not stick and it's just irrating! I would not suggest this patch at all especially if you have a choice.

As mentioned like the others before me, I had the ortho evra and had no problems with it sticking. This new generic patch does not stick at all times. I wonder how it can be effective if it comes off half way while I'm in the shower, and then I have to stick it back on...my question is has anyone got pregnant in spite of the "non sticky situation"? I'm paranoid and wondering if ... Show Full Comment

I'm paranoid and wondering if I should switch to something else. The patch has been the best thing for me and I would hate to change. I wonder if the manufacture is working on the solution, working out the bugs???
