Question about Birth Control Patch
1

I started the patch a couple of days ago, and while the patch is adhered to my body and not peeling off, I have noticed ripples in the middle that are coming off the skin. I generally notice them after I exercise and I can't seem to even it out unless I take the patch off completely, which you are not supposed to do (and I haven't done). I actually replaced the first patch just two days after I had it on. Can someone tell me if it's less effective with the ripples in the middle, even though it's not technically coming off? Any suggestions on how to keep this from happening?

My understanding is that the wrinkles in the middle are normal and there's nothing you can do about them. As long as the edges of the patch are staying stuck down, you should be all right!

Hope that helps...
