The Patch
The patch is a thin piece of plastic that is about two inches across and looks very similar to a Band-Aid. The patch must be reapplied every week and works by preventing the ovaries from releasing the egg and by thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering the cervix.
PERFECT USE: 99.7% effective
