When using the Evra patch, is it necessary to protect yourself by using the first patch in each cycle? Or does it only apply to the first patch of the first pack and the situation if the patch was applied late?
If I glue everything as it should be, without skipping, every Wednesday and take off as expected, menstruation is regular.

An additional non-hormonal method of contraception (for the first 7 days) should only be included during the first pack, i.e. when starting Evra. This situation occurs when you start using the Evra patches after the first day of withdrawal bleeding (i.e. between days 2 and 5 of your cycle).
Subsequent packages (if the procedure is followed) do not require any additional protection.
It is important to remember about situations that will require the use of additional protection, e.g. detachment for a long time, delay in changing the patch, use of antibiotics or other drugs that weaken the effect of contraceptives.
