From what other members have posted, what you are experiencing is quite common. And, yes light colored undies will make the ring less noticeable. Do NOT try to remove the fuzzy ring with alcohol while the patch is still in place. on your patch change day you might try another location to see if it will pick up less lint.
Good luck,

well today is my third day on the patch i had a bad migraine on the first day was slightly sick to my stomic the next morning but that went away in about an hour. and a little bit of a head ake on the second day. though i think those are left over from the last bc i was on it gave me migraines alot. so far today im doing good i havent noticed anything im crossing my fingers that i dont have any problems with this one. thought i put the patch on the day i got my period like the papers said and today my period is prity mutched stoped but i can handel a three day period thats kinda nice i wonder if it will stay like this... but ill let you know if i start to get anything else hope it works out for you too.
