I have been on Xulane for almost 10 years. I realized just how great of a product it was after my insurance switch me to Zafemy. Zafemy is terrible. Xulane does its job by sticking on properly. I am a tennis player so sweating is inevitable. It has never slid off and it has never given me side effects. It's a really great product.

Used Xulane for about a year, then my doctor switched me to Zafemy because of insurance. I was about ready to give up on the patch until I found Twirla. It sticks great and works. Apparently Twirla is the newest patch on the market and isnt available everywhere yet, but with how good it works, I'm sure it will be soon.

I had no problem with this birth control until they changed the packaging and the patch itself. i only get 3 patches a month and every time i would get into water, the patch would come off without me touching it at all.. i would go through all 3 patches in a week and wouldn’t be able to get any until the next month. when i get on any form of birth control, i expect it to work at least this is ridi ...

I had TWO strokes on this. I don't drink or smoke. I was 19 and avid with my diet/fitness. The insisted that it couldn't be from the only medication I took, but other women have died from the patch from STROKE! After coming off I now have post birth control PCOS. I wish I never touched this poison.

I started this because my periods were super irregular.. I’ve been using it for a year and I loved how it worked until I grew to be incredibly unhappy with my body and how I looked and I narrowed it down to the birth control. I’ve always been small, I was active all throughout middle school and high school. My first year of college, I struggled greatly with my irregular periods and the fear of being pregnant at a young age so I decided in June 2020 to start birth control. I obviously did my research for the best ones and I narrowed it down to the patch. It worked wonderfully. I never had problems at all with it. I was consistent and didn’t have to worry about a pill every day. I realized that I gained probably close to 15 lbs since I started this with no diet changes at all. Overall I’m happy with the effectiveness, but I’m unhappy with how it made me look.
