Contraceptive Skin Patch

The contraceptive patch is a combination hormonal patch containing both estrogen and progestin, like most birth control pills. The difference is that you place a patch on your skin each week and the hormones get absorbed through your skin into the body instead of swallowing a pill each day. On the fourth week of each month, you do not wear a patch and you will have a menstrual period. The patch is anywhere from 92-97% effective in preventing pregnancy depending on how consistently you use it.
