Contraceptive patch

How does it work?

• The contraceptive patch will prevent the ovaries from releasing the ovum and will thicken the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperms to reach the ovum. It also changes the internal wall of the uterus, which makes it difficult for the ovum implantation. It is similar to contraceptive pill usage.
• The patch is worn on the skin for 7 days and has to be changed every week for 3 weeks (Ideally use the same day of the week to process the patch change). You should not wear the same patch for more than 7 day consecutively. On the fourth week, no patch is needed, in order for the menstrual cycle to start. After the seventh’s day with no patch, a new contraceptive cycle can start as soon as you apply the new first patch.
• The contraceptive patch can worn on the buttocks, stomach, back, or near the shoulders except on the breasts. It needs to be stick on clean and dry skin and a rotation of where the patch is placed can increase effectiveness of the patches. This contraceptive device is 98% water resistant and cream and/or lotion should not be applied near the patch or where the new patch will be stick onto.
