I put my patch on the upper thigh below panty line and just good enough for short shorts to cover the patch. Is that okay ? I am worried.
Xulane - Is it okay to put it on the upper thigh?

I used to be on this, it says to only put it on your shoulder (alternating shoulder when you change the patch), your lower back (again, alternating sides), and shoulder blade (also, alternating sides). It's not going to work on your thighs. I would move it as soon as possible. Don't have unprotected sex until you do move it. You should have enough in your system for it to continue to do what it should, but definitely follow the directions with placement of the patch to be safe.
