The patch is applied correctly, its effect is preserved and there is no reason to worry.
Dirt collecting on its edges does not affect the effectiveness and protection is maintained. It is important that the patch adheres to the skin and does not fall off. The fact that, for example, you walk while moving also does not affect the effectiveness of therapy.
The 4th of July intercourse is also not a threat, as it took place without ejaculation. Contraceptive protection is maintained.
