Good morning
I am currently on the third evra contraceptive patch. I was at the pool today, I felt that the patch was holding loosely and I tried to press it, but after a while it was the same. Currently, the patch looks like in the attached photo, you can see that it has moved. It's Sunday at 4 p.m., and I plan to peel off the patch on Monday at 6:30 a.m. Should I replace the patch with a new one, or leave the one I have? Please respond quickly.

If this is your last patch and it is the last day of its use, there is no need to put on a new one. Its contraceptive effect should be preserved. Otherwise, the patch would have to be changed.
It is important to check whether the patch does not peel off after the pool or sauna.
The manufacturer assures that you can easily go to swimming pools, saunas, etc. with the patch, but I preferred to ask.
I didn't understand, so it's better to stick a new one for these several hours or leave it?

If the patch does not stick to the skin, do not reapply it. In this case, you should replace the patch with a new one.
It should be remembered that even partial detachment of the patch leads to insufficient delivery of the medicinal substance. If the patch has not been completely adhered to the skin for less than 24 hours, its contraceptive effectiveness is maintained.
