No, it's not a bad place. The upper back is one of the recommended places to apply the contraceptive patch.
Manufacturers of birth control patches usually recommend several areas of the body where they can be used safely and effectively. These areas include: the buttocks, abdomen, upper outer arm, and upper back or torso.
It is crucial that the patch is applied to clean, dry, hairless and undamaged skin. In addition, it is important that the application site is not exposed to friction or rubbing by tight clothing, which could affect the adhesion of the patch.
