Comment:
I HATE IT. I have been on it for 2 months and EVERY time I shower it comes off!! Im scared to take a bath or go swimming. Not to mention I break out, can't wear it where something will touch it or it will roll, it has tacky writing on it and forget bending over because it wrinkles up and sticks to its self like a piece of tape. I've had bandaids that stick better. I didnt have any of these

Falls off super easily. I tried to give it a chance and in the first week of taking the medication I used all 3 patches. These are not dependable for preventing pregnancy. Especially since they fall off easily, and its slightly difficult to notice when they've partially failed.

I was on ortho evra for almost 3 years and loved it. Last month my pharmacy gave me Xulane. Within the first day the patch fell off, then I started to break out, and I was constantly hungry and moody. Tried to give it a chance to regulate but the patches wouldn't stay on. Now if I want ortho evra, it will cost me over $100 a month, my insurance will no longer cover it because a generic is now

Love the fact that this generic costs me $10 per month instead of $120 for the ortho evra patch. But I live in Florida and am constantly in the swimming pool. This patch keeps coming off in a salt water pool. I never had any issues with the ortho evra one and I was on that patch for over 10 years.
