The first day, Sunday, I put it on my abdomen and it was okay until I got in the shower on Monday after working out... then it was lifting up on every corner and basically almost halfway off. I tried pressing hard on it again but it wouldn't stick, so I figured maybe it was defective and put a replacement one on, this time on my buttocks. Again, it was fine until the next day, when I got out of the shower and noticed that it was hanging halfway off again! I made sure not to touch it with my loofah sponge or anything because i was worried about it falling off... and it did anyway.
Yeah, its nice to only worry about putting it on once a week, but if you have to check on it 5 times a day and worry about whether it's actually working... I'd much rather just swallow a pill and be done with it.
That's just my two cents... I called my doctor, got a scrip for OrthoCyclen and I'm back with my old friend. Anyone else have problems like this??

I'm not liking it, though, because it's giving me bloating which I've never had on any of the pills I've been on. I'm trying to give it to the three month period to give my body time to adjust.
It was a good idea while it lasted!!! :)
Mine didn't come totally off, but I did have some issues with it wrinkling too much on my abdomen.
