What are the advantages of The Patch?

• You don't have to take a pill daily or interrupt sex to use a barrier contraceptive.
• Patches decrease a woman's menstrual cramps and pain.
• Patches decrease the amount of menstrual bleeding and a woman's risk for anemia.
• Acne may improve and facial hair is diminished.
• Many women enjoy sex more when using Ortha Evra patches.
• You can use patches for an extended period of time or continuously (with no hormone-free intervals).
• Each patch has enough hormones to suppress ovulation for up to 9 days, so you can be a day or so late putting on the next patch. (Not recommended).
