Pat"h is very effe"tive and easy to use, your 0eriods are often lighter, less 0ainful and more regular and if you have vomiting or diarrhea, the "ontra"e0tive 0at"h is still effe"tive, for the disadvantages, some 7omen have s1in irritation, des0ite its dis"reet design, some 7omen still feel that the "ontra"e0tive 0at"h "an be seen and et".
