Using a contraceptive patch is straightforward: 1. Apply the patch to clean, dry skin on your buttock, abdomen, upper outer arm, or back. 2. Wear the patch for one week, then replace it with a new patch. 3. Repeat this for three consecutive weeks. 4. On the fourth week, do not wear a patch to allow for a menstrual period. It’s important to apply the patch on the same day each week.
