Brittany, 24, the patch
"It’s something that I can do once a week and not think about it."

As an active mom who admits she can sometimes be a little forgetful, Brittany really appreciates how convenient and easy to use the patch is. There’s not a lot to remember and she hasn’t had any side effects. It’s actually so low profile that she even forgets it’s there sometimes.
Protection against STIs is also a priority for Brittany, so she uses condoms too. We like how she encourages everyone to do that no matter what method you use—condoms are a smart precaution to keep you and your partner safe.
