Should the next contraceptive patches be applied at the same time?
When using contraceptive patches, is the time of sticking 1 patch important, ie I know that it must be glued on the first day of menstruation, but is the time important and if, for example, if I stick the patch at 7 p.m., then the next patch also have to stick at 7 p.m. or the time is not important? I mean mainly whether, if I stick 1 patch at 7 p.m., do I also have to stick 2 patches at 7 p.m. or can I for example at 10 a.m.?

To @Gosia:
Applying the patch a few hours later does not affect the effectiveness of contraception. You don't always have to apply the patch at exactly the same time.
And how much is more or less normal
Time for a change that can be delayed? I'm not talking about the issue of the day, but you understand a "healthy" time when nothing will happen to the slice. I change the patch at 8 p.m. Is it possible to change it until 10 p.m. if it is sometimes appropriate? I know that with the tablets you have to watch the hours carefully, I change the patch around 8 p.m., sometimes it's 8.20 p.m., sometimes closer to 9 p.m., is this the correct procedure? Do you stick strictly to 20?

The first contraceptive patch should be applied within the first 24 hours after the onset of bleeding. Subsequent patches should be glued at about the same time. Each patch should be applied for a maximum of 7 days. This means that if you want to change the time to an earlier time, there are no contraindications: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/28646/evra-system-transdermalny/apteki Sticking the first patch at 7 p.m. does not exclude the possibility of sticking the next patch at 10 a.m. (this means sticking the patch 9 hours earlier). However, when gluing the first patch at 10 a.m., do not stick the next patch at 7 p.m. (sticking at 9 hours later).
