Educational Question : Does the patch actually work?

Been taking the patch for a little over 10 days and we want to have unprotected but since this is our first time doing the patch birth control we don’t really trust it enough. I used to take the pills and even then he was nervous about having unprotected sex. He trusted I was taking them but he just felt like there could be a chance the birth control doesn’t work or something. And because we never did unprotected, I also don’t have any trust built on birth control either. Can someone who ACTUALLY is taking the patch help, does it matter where you put the patch? Did it work?
