Maybe an age old question, but I'm very afraid of alopecia, so I've been trying a few alternatives. I have the ShM-62u and been looking into getting a swiss SM-64.

I tried using a balaclava but probably because it doesn’t give me a full seal on my face, it makes the lenses fogging worse, but its great for covering my hair.

Don't suggest shaving it, I've been already thinking of that :(

EDIT: Okay I think I found a way! Since I do already own a full face spandex balaclava, all I do is pull the chin (of the balaclava) down so my face is uncovered while keeping all my hair inside it, and put it on like a swim cap, from the top. That way I managed to get a full face seal (and no fogging!) and keep my hair protected. I put it on like 10 minutes ago and so far it's working nicely! If anyone needs pictures or examples I'm happy to provide

Hello!! How is everyone doing?

It's been almost 4 months already since I started using Evra patches. I had a really strong menstruation cycle and it was messing me up bad, so I went over birth control methods to keep me from menstruating and since I have had a bad experience with a few pill methods, I decided for the patch.

She told me it was a good option, and since my intention was cutting my cycle completely, I should use it with no pauses instead of the normal 3 weeks use + 1 week pause.

I have been doing that almost like a ritual, never missing and with no breaks, I apply it on the right side of my crotch as the instructions say so.

Still, I have been menstruating, and worse yet, it's very irregular and doesn't seem to come in the normal cycle time.

Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong or do I just have a wildly heavy flow? I have to say I am getting less blood loss per day but the bleeding lasts more than normal to me, so I'm not sure anythibt changed. Anyone had the same experience?
