The Patch is a thin, beige piece of plastic that looks like a square band-aide. It only comes in one size and one color—a little smaller than two inches and beige. The patch secretes hormones that are absorbed through the skin and prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus.

How to Use It
The patch is pretty simple to use as long as you can remember to replace it once a week. All you do is stick a new patch on your butt, stomach, upper outer arm, or upper torso (never on your boobs!) once a week for three weeks in a row. On the fourth week, you don’t do anything—no patch needed.
