4 reviews

Xulane patch has an average rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars from a total of 4 reviews when used as a contraceptive. These are self-reported reviews where users of Xulane patch review their satisfaction with this contraceptive and any side effects they feel they experienced whilst using.
The patch is a combined hormonal contraceptive method containing both estrogen and progestin. It is a thin beige plaster, made of three layers of plastic, which is stuck to the skin and changed weekly. It's a great option if you want the benefits of the combined pill, but don't want to have to remember to take a pill every day. The risk of blood clots with the patch may be slightly higher when compared to other combined methods and it is not always suitable if you weigh more then 198lbs (90kg).

Xulane patch  

It’s fine.. maybe. if you’re susceptible to anxiety at all then i don’t recommend. Random crying fits. Had to admit myself to the ER because of my second sudden panic attack since starting. I’ve never dealt with that before. I have only been on the patch for 3 weeks, perhaps the side effects would have subsided if i waited it out but im not willing to risk it.

Xulane patch  

The only problem I had using the birth parches was that it gave me an allergy and would turn my skin red and dry. I had to stop using it and switched to the birth control implant which is a way better method.
