I am on my second week of ortho evra. My first patch i put on my buttocks, and now the second one on my arm. I have noticed that my patch wrinkles up a bit with motion, I flatten it out again, but it keeps coming back. Also, along the edges of it there is lint getting underneath. It isnt detaching or anything. Is this ok, and is the patch still effective? Is is normal for the wrinkling. I followed the directions completely. Should i just try to put another one on in a different location? Thanks!

Hi Jess,


I'm using the patch as well, but have only been at it a few weeks now.


The wrinkles...I haven't tried it on my arm yet, just abdomen and butt - for me, there was a lot of wrinkling on my abdomen so I decided not to use it there.
