| Thanks to NATPAT for sending over these stickers in exchange for a review. All thoughts are my own. |
Apparently, mosquitoes are attracted to our genetics, clothing colors, scents, blood type, bacteria, diet and more. Whatever the cause may be, these suckers won't leave me alone. I ALWAYS have to have bug spray on when I head outdoors, about 9 months out of the year. Those, gnats, and other flies just won't leave me alone. Repellent is necessary, but what to do when sprays and aerosols aren't always best for us or the environment?
The Natural Patch Company bring us natural patches to utilize for moments just like these!
What are NATPAT stickers?
- Essential Oil Blends trigger receptors that send messages to various parts of our systems.
- They work to provide relief, comfort, and engage the immune system of our bodies.
- Made with Biodegradable materials in recycable packaging is a plus!
How to use?
- The sticker usage varies from the provided relief and age of the person.
- For instance, adults need 2-4 mosquito repellent stickers, while children 6 and under only need 1- 2. The recommendations are to place one on each foot/ shoe, and potentially on your neck/shoulders and another around your legs. I've found what works best for me is one near my collar, one near my shorts, and one or two near my ankles, depending on the situation. Here in the south, mosquitoes can be bad after rain.
- For Sleepy Time, Breathe Easy, and others, one is recommended. I do not like to put Sleepy Time on my clothes though, I prefer it on my pillow where I can smell it, but its not overpowering. You can see two in this photo: one is new and the other I forgot was there! Its several days old now!
What is the effectiveness timeline?
- 0-2 hours from applying: Most Potent
- 2-8 hours from applying: Highly Potent
- 8-24 hours from applying: Moderately Potent
I've tried the Sleepytime stickers a few times, but I haven't noticed too much of a difference yet in the quality of my sleep yet. I have fallen asleep faster, but sometimes the lavender actually triggers an opposite effect on me than it should; thus creating weird and crazy dreams!
I've not had a chance to try the Breathe Easy yet, but I know its coming!
Who can use NATPAT stickers?
Children, Adults, and even pets! Yes, NATPAT has a round of stickers just for our pets to ward off fleas ticks, and allergies. They would be placed inside a small locket that attaches to our pet's collars. For children and adults, there are different versions of the repellents, anti=itch, sleepytime, and allergy relief stickers.
NATPAT does not recommend placing stickers directly on skin but rather on clothing. I've tried it a few times because the bugs were annoying me in certain places, and I was fine. I'm assuming that there could be reactions with the oils, so just keep that in mind.
Why do you need these stickers?
Stickers are always fun, but stickers that have a purpose and actually aid us in life are beneficial to our emotional and physical well-being. Sure, one could douse one's self and their family in DEET bug spray and head out the door, but stickers are a much easier way to prevent nuisance bites!
Friday Night lights, Saturday afternoon soccer, and Sunday bedtimes will be so much easier with NATPAT stickers! From indoors to outdoors, stickers aid the way our immune systems respond to allergens, help prevent stress triggers, and keep the itchies at bay.
Inviting us to sleep better, breathe easier, and live fuller, NATPAT stickers should be in every one's medicine drawer!
This back to school season and fall, be sure to stock up on NATPAT. No matter if you are trying to beat the allergy sniffles, sleep off the stress demons, or stay away from all things that bite at night then these stickers are for you!
