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 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 bei
