In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Peel off the old patch and fold it in half so it sticks together. Seal it in a plastic baggie and toss it in the trash. Then, wash your skin so you can apply a new one. Don't flush the old patch because any hormones left in the patch can get carried into the sewer system (and, in turn, the soil and water). Designate 1 day a week as your patch exchange day to help you remember to change it. Keep applying and removing new patches each week for 3 weeks (most boxes come with 3 patches so you can keep track). Keep your patches in a drawer or cupboard away from sunlight or sources of heat. After 3 weeks of wearing the patch, don’t apply a new one as you’ve been doing. Make sure you have tampons, pads, or absorbent period underwear because this week (week 4) is when you'll be getting your period. You have the option to skip your period and wear the patch on week 4 as well. If you plan to do this, talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for more than 3 patches at a time.
