Positives of The Contraceptive Patch
The patch has a 99% level of effectiveness when used correctly. Use of the patch can also make periods less painful, lighter and more regular much like the combined pill. However, use of the patch offers a number of unique advantages over the pill. Firstly, it is designed to endure most conditions with a waterproof design that allows for use in the bath or shower as well as during exercise. There are no pill schedules or restrictions which need to be adhered to, as the patch is constantly supplying the female body with the required dose of hormones. This therefore removes the risk of missing a pill or taking it outside of the allocated timeframe. In addition to this, the patch provides contraceptive protection even when users suffer from diarrhea or vomiting as the patch administers the hormones directly to the blood stream rather than through the stomach.
