The patch is great if you forget to take the pill. If you have sensitive skin avoid the patch as it can cause skin to blister and ooze liquid, the patch then falls off and skin is left with a red itchy mark than takes about a week to go away. In my case when the patch did fall off I did actually get pregnant, I wasn’t aware because I put a new patch on an the symptoms I had from the patch were the same as pregnancy so it took me 12 weeks to realise I was pregnant. Be careful if the patch falls off as you won’t be protected!!

Good if you forget to take the pill but unsightly and caused me major skin irritation where it was placed. Also people tend to comment or think it's a smoking patch

Have been on the patch for over a year. Pill didn’t go well with me so tried it out. Absolutely loved it for a while, even though at first it felt like it made my mental health worse. It was good for a while but then I started getting pregnancy symptoms everytime I put a new patch on after a patch free week- hormonal spots, cramps, really really bad depressive and angry swings. I also hate the way it looks. I would bleed whilst it was still on. Hopefully coming off of it will improve this stuff!
