birth control patch
Adhesive pregnancy preventer
A birth control patch is a small adhesive patch worn on the skin that releases hormones to prevent pregnancy.
It works like birth control pills but delivers medication transdermally rather than orally, typically changed weekly for three weeks with one patch-free week.
She switched from the pill to the patch for convenience.
