NATPAT Magic Patch Itch Relief Stickers - Insect Bite Patch for Mosquitos, Ticks, Midges, Sandflies, and Bed Bug Bites - Buzzpatch - 32 Count

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. As someone who is preferred by mosquitos, these are a life saver. I waited until after our camping trip in NC to write this review and I just wanted to say that these saved me and my kids from itching all night long. While I haven’t found a foolproof way to repel mosquitos, as soon as I start to feel the itch, I slap on one of these bad boys and for the next two days, I don’t feel anything. They adhere well even in the pool/shower. Take off the sticker and rarely do I have an itch after that. If I do, I use another sticker for another day or so. (The key is to get the sticker on before you really get to scratching because once that starts, it takes longer for the itch to go away and even with the sticker it doesn’t go away entirely - but it’s much more subdued.) Cons- people ask what the stickers are on your body. Or sometimes they leave a residue behind after a few days, but it’s not hard to get off and 100% worth it.

I’ve tried lidocaine cream, hydrocortisone cream, Benadryl … itch relief creams, etc. Mosquitos love me. I get the best relief from itching with these patches. I’ve bought them before and will buy them again. I still itch a tad with the patches but the severity is greatly diminished & I can sleep. The patches stay on through several showers.

Nice itch relief sticker. They are pretty big in size and I have ripped a couple due to not needing that large of a size. They do stay on nice probably because of the size and helps prevent your kiddo from itching

I am conflicted. I have used these on my children and myself. I actually find that they work quite well for us. In my experience, if I'm feeling the itch from a bug bite, I'll put one of the stickers on and will have relief from the itch. The stickers are fairly thin and I don't pull the sticker taut over the bite which made me question the efficacy of the "grid technology." Upon further inspection, I noted that the stickers are made with "Essential Oils" which is a chemical, even if it's a natural chemical. Not knowing which essential oils are used could cause a problem for anyone allergic to its ingredients. If you read the Warning section, it says "apply to clothes" and "Never use on skin or face," which contradicts their usage directions. That may just be a written error that can be corrected in future packaging. I'm more concerned about the ingredients. In both the Warning and Storage & Disposal sections it mentions to keep "away from food and drink" and the Warning says to "Wash hands immediately after use...." These warnings make sense considering the patches contain essential oils. I have no problems with essential oils, I would just like for the company to list which essential oils are used for transparency and also to help those who are allergic to the ingredients avoid them. Once again, I have had a good experience with these patches, but they may not work for those who have an allergy to the essential oils or those for which the particular essential oils have no effect on. Would I purchase them again? Without the ingredient list, I'm not sure...with the ingredient list noted, there is a higher likelihood as I do feel like they work for my family. UPDATED: Although I am still conflicted about the disclosure of information, these patches have worked for my family. Since my initial review, I have purchased at least three more packs of patches. Some bites are worse than others, but I feel as if the patches help with the average bug bite and also reduces the overall severity of the bad ones. Compared to the bug bite management of creams and essential oils I used the previous summer, I'd say that these patches helped minimize the itch and overall severity of the bug bites received this summer.

Keep in mind these are just thin stickers to put over your mosquito bites. There is not any form of anti itch medication. Out of everyone in my family, I am the one! I leave with mosquito bites galore. I water the bushes or lawn, I am eaten, if I stick a leg out at night, that leg was a bugs dinner…I usually put some anti itch cream on and if it’s real bad cover with a band aid to prevent it from being rubbed especially at night. I itch tell there huge and scabbed. You all know when they itch and you scratch, you reach your soul. My bf tells me I look like a drug addict. It’s horrible. These work great at keeping them from itching. They are thin so it’s hard to tell if they are even there. I feel like it keeps them from being rubbed by clothing or blankets. However! If you’ve itched them you have to give it time to settle down. Once you itch they itch and you have to try your best to ignore. Great for all ages!

I bought these because my daughter and I are both mosquito magnets - and for her, they not only make her irritable from the itchiness, but she also blows up at the site of the bite. I got these with same-day delivery hoping they'd work for her, without the messiness of creams and salves. It was like magic - she was totally itch free, and the bite was gone within 2 days. So when I got my first bite of the season a couple days later, I figured I'd try it. I ended up with four bites within a few days, one on my ankle, two on the other calf and a fourth on my wrist. I tried Itch Patches on only the three on my legs. The first bite on my calf reacted beautifully, and I didn't feel the bite at all as long as I had a patch on it. The second bite on my calf didn't seem to care that it had a patch on it - it itches something horrific, regardless of whether or not these patches are magical. The Patch on my ankle fell off any time anything rubbed against it (blanket when sleeping, socks on and off, etc.), probably due to the boniness/shape, but also the Patch didn't seem to help as consistently - sometimes I did feel it, sometimes I didn't (which, I ought to add, is how my mosquito bites usually are). And, despite the patches and my not itching, the bites are still here 4-5 days later, unlike my daughter's miraculous recovery. All in all, not sure I would spend so much money for something that might not help. Next device I'll be trying is the Bug Bite Thing -- guess we'll see if that helps us... but in the meantime, I'm hoping these patches will at least be useful for my daughter.

When someone tried to give me one of these for an itchy bug bite, I was unfairly skeptical. I was convinced there’s absolutely no way this was going to help and BOY WAS I WRONG. These things truly are magic. I’ve now used them on my big sister, little sister, daughter, friends husband and friends child and every single one of them were skeptical and have become a believer 😂 I will SWEAR by these forever.

PLEASE READ!!! Honest and helpful review!!! I just had to write a review because of all the reviews that state they do not work. I can’t speak on their experiences but here’s what I know from personal use as I am the one that always leaves the event with bites everywhere while everyone else is like I didn’t get any.. I bought these for a trip to Jamaica in July 2022 as I knew I would end up with bites. First and foremost apply them to CLEAN skin. This may be a reason why it doesn’t work for some. Also put it on before applying anything else like lotion sunscreen etc. they work almost immediately and I mean within seconds. Please keep in mind that before I found these patches, I’m the type to scratch until I break skin it’s the only way for me to feel relief! Andddd the second best part of them is they cut down on the healing time dramatically. I can go for about a week or two of scratching and with these patches it was about 2-3 days and the bite and desire to itch was gone. I gave only 4 stars because I wish it worked for all types of bites. Now that I think of it that may be the reason some may find they don’t work but to be fair they identify on the box what type of bites they help with. FYI they do not work as well on spider bites (for me) they helped with the itching but I definitely noticed a difference in its effectiveness. Also sometimes when I thought it wasn’t working it was because I actually had two bites close together and placed the patch unknowingly on only one. I hope this review was helpful to all that reads it.

The only thing that helps me with mozzie bites. Stops the itch and prevents me from scratching.

Really effective for any type of itchy bug bites like fleas. Don’t know how it works so well but it does! They’re not fully water proof but will stay on during a shower.

I wasn't hoping for much - but these are wonderful so far. I just put them on insect bites and the pain goes. It is not a huge feeling, just that my skin feels back to normal with no itching. I will keep these as a staple.

Works just as good as Stop Itch, but need to get it on pretty quickly.

Not as good as other makes
