They Work for Me!
A woman of a 'certain age' I am a bit prone to urgent bladder. It's o.k. when I'm home but a bit nervewracking when traveling or out in public. I've been using these patches for travel for a number of years and they do work. One patch placed on the lower abdomen lasts four days. They are not prone to coming off during a shower or swimming. They're indetectable under clothing. And they do help that urgency situation.
It Works For Me!!
I've had nighttime bladder issues for years, getting up every 2 hours to use the bathroom.Nothing changed the first two nights wearing the patch. The third night I slept through the night --six hours uninterrupted!! No issues!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great for international travel
I use these when traveling internationally where public toilets are hard to find. I am 67 and have a bit of urgency that this controls.
Stopped frequent urination
They helped stop my need to go to the bathroom every 2 hours. Now I only need to go 3-6, usually 4 hours. My urologist was so happy they work. They really stay on in the shower.
Pretty Effective
These were recommended to me by my physician. At first I thought they were awesome but after about a month they didn’t seem as effective as they were at first. I’ll keep using them and see how it goes.
Oxytrol patches
Something has changed with these patchesThey blistered my skin, and would not stay on, harder to open and not the same quality of product I have been ordering.
a life saver
absolutely love these. they really help with overactive bladder symptoms.
Active bladder
These were bought as a gift. I was told they didn't work like it used to.
Effectiveness
This patch has worked very well for me
How effective is Oxytrol...
I have used Oxytrol for a number of years with success. However, they changed the quality of the plastic used for applying the patch to the skin and this has resulted in poor to nil effectiveness. This new heavier plastic patch does not stay on, with in a day or two the adhesive is no longer holding the patch on. I have tried using additional tape around the edges, but it still lifts from the skin and no longer gives any relief from overactive bladder. I am applying it to clean dry skin with no oils or lotion on my skin, exactly as I have for years when it was a thinner plastic patch and was effective. I never had any issues with the old thinner patch falling off or not being ineffective. I should probably give it 0 stars but in the past before the change in quality of the plastic the patch had given some relief.
Want so badly to use this product
The product is amazing! Just a couple of days with the patch and I had less frequency and less urgency due to bladder spasms. Within two weeks I slept thru the night. Normally I'm up to the bathroom 4 to 5 times every night. The one draw back with this product is that the adherent on the patch caused severe contact dermatitis for me with red, raised rash and "pimples" wherever I wore the patch.
BUYER BEWARD - SAVE YOUR MONEY...DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS CHEAP, INEFFECTIVE PATCH.
I have used this product when it was available at CVS. was happy to find it again. of course it now costs triple the price. i was happy to get a supply bundle but i am so very disappointed in the quality. i'm not sure if it's the plastic or the adhesive. it used to be a total pain to peel the patch off at the 4 day mark. now i'm lucky if this sticks for a day. the patch does not stay on even if i use medical tape to try and hold it. therefore the patch is useless and a total waste of my money. and i'm back to square one with no relief from OAB. I do apply to dry, clean, lotion free skin as i have always done, i do alternate placement. there was never an issue until i got this particular batch. looks like i won't be buying again anytime soon.

Oxytrol Patch works well for me!
As of right now, weeks into using these patches, replacing with a new one every 4 days, I love these. They've changed my life. I feel like I'm catching up on years of interrupted sleep! Now I only have to take a few visits to the bathroom. Before, I felt like I had to go constantly and was always uncomfortable. Now, I feel so much more confident about being able to live my life, and my sleep is so much better.The only dislike I have is the redness on my skin, but I'm going to try rotating where I put the patch and see if that helps. I'm assuming maybe the redness is from me using the same location. I'm giving it 5 stars though because overall, this has been a huge benefit for me and I plan to continue using it.
Works well
Works for me well and give me comfort that I can walk for hours and not have too use the bathroom so often ..

They work
I bought these for my daughter, and she says they work great! Give them a try.
Come off after 2 days
These products have been not up to standard never had trouble before
OK
It works.
Not for everyone
Unpleasant side affects.
Wouldnt repurchase
I didnt find this very useful. If anything i think it was the placebo effect that made me go less
Not for me
I'm sure this may work for some women, but it did not work for me plus when I removed the patch it left adhesive on my skin that was very hard to remove.
Large Patch
This patch is huge. On me, it was crinkly and it creased so it wasn't comfortable. I was always aware of its presence and haven't found a spot that works for me. It might fit better on a different body type. I wore it for four days as recommended before changing it, but found it too uncomfortable and didn't apply a new one. It didn't do much for me but then it might not have been enough time for it to work..However, the brand's Oxytrol pills did wonders. Unfortunately, I'm very sensitive to fiber and found the fiber level irritated my digestive system to the point where I couldn't continue taking it. It would probably work well for most.
Left awful red rashes and orange peel feeling skin for weeks.
I never felt these did anything for my urgency/frequency. Absolutely nothing. On top of no relief from OAB and nocturia I had three distinct, red, squares that lasted for weeks around my mid section. In addition, all rashes had an orange peel feel that also lasted for weeks. By the third week, the area where the third patch was applied was inflamed and highly irritated. I had to remove it two days early. Me never the one to give up and believing relief is just around the corner if I just give it time to work was going to apply the fourth patch that was in the box. Wasn't sure where I was going to put it with the previous red, puffy, orange peel feel areas from the other patches, but I was going to try. My husband was like absolutely not! Throw those away!One star from me.
