Good morning.
This is my first time with Evra patches. I applied the patch on Saturday, i.e. 13.09. Today I noticed that I can bend it a little at the corner. It is glued to the buttocks.
Should I apply a new patch? Is it ok for the moment?
I'm asking for a hint, because my overthinking when reading posts on this topic makes me notice the slightest detachment.
Can I switch to tablets when using the patches? If so, how to do it?
I will be grateful for your help :)

Yes, this is due to the wrinkling of the patch and is not a threat to the effectiveness of contraception.
Thank you very much for your reply. I understand that the slightly bending edge in the first photo is ok and the protection is still maintained?

The patch is glued correctly - it may wrinkle because the skin is working (such wrinkles should not be disturbing), and dirt may collect on the edges (this is also normal).
You can start using the tablets after peeling off the last (third) patch or take a standard 7-day break and start taking the tablets when you are about to apply another patch. In both cases, contraceptive protection is maintained.
