I have two good friends [I guess they must be if we talk about this!] who are on the patch. Both have had the desired result, in terms of effective prenancy prevention. One had problems w/ fuzz from her clothes sticking to the patch, and not looking too cute. This same girl also gained a LOT of weight , but part of that was b/c she gave up ummmm....... "powdering her nose" about 6 months b4 she started the patch.

My friend w/ less chemicals in her system to begin with has had no real problems. She's in her mid twenties and has the view that by the time someone gets close enough to see it, they are so well acquainted that they don't care that the patch doesn't match her skin. She is a VERY pale, scary white girl of Irish descent, and the patch doesn't match her skin either.
