What to do if the contraceptive patch has come off at the swimming pool?
Hello I wanted to ask a question since I have been in the second week of the patch since Friday today it came off in the pool for a few hours I didn't realize it and I and my boyfriend had intercourse and he came inside without a patch I realized it later and I put it on immediately what should I do?? Are they at risk or not??

In the event of partial or complete detachment of the patch, insufficient delivery of the active substances occurs. If the patch has been removed for less than 24 hours, apply it to the same place as soon as possible or apply a new patch. There is no need to use an additional method of contraception.
If the patch has been removed for more than 24 hours, the woman may not be protected against pregnancy. Stop your current cycle of contraceptive use and start a new cycle immediately with a new patch. So there is a new "Day 1" and a new "Patch Change Day". It is necessary to use a non-hormonal method of contraception during the first 7 days of the new cycle.
