I am on the patch as well and I would suggest wearing it on your butt. That way no one can see it. (unless you're naked)
I have only gone without HBC for a month in the almost 9 years that I have been on it and didn't have any really noticeable effects but that was the pill.
When I switched to the patch I definitely noticed a difference with the 24/7 influx of hormones. I had kind of a medicine-head-like feeling for a week or so until I got used to it, so taking a break might be more noticeable? Just a thought.
Maybe try a different spot?
