FAQs

What are Patchly patches and how do they work?

Patchly patches are transdermal wellness patches that deliver active ingredients (vitamins, minerals, botanical extracts) through your skin for gradual absorption. This bypasses the digestive system, offering more stable delivery and reduced risk of stomach upset.

How do I use the patches? How long should I wear them?

- Apply one patch to clean, dry, hair-free skin (e.g. upper arm, shoulder, inner wrist).

- Use once daily for 6–8 hours per use (or per the specific product’s instructions).

- You may alternate different patches throughout the day so long as you don’t exceed recommended wear time

Each patch is single-use.

How quickly will I see results?

Once applied, ingredients begin entering your system immediately and continue to release gradually over the 6–8 hour window.

Some users may notice effects within 30–60 minutes; others may need several uses for full benefits, depending on individual body chemistry.

How should I store them?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Make sure the packaging is sealed until you’re ready to use the patch.

Can I wear more than one patch at the same time?

Yes, you can, but do so with caution. Make sure the patches target complementary benefits and monitor your total intake of active compounds. We also recommend alternating patches as long as total wear time limits are respected.

Are the patches waterproof?

They’re water-resistant, so light sweating or showering won’t affect performance. However, we recommend avoiding extended exposure to water (like swimming or long baths) to ensure maximum adhesion and ingredient release.

Are the patches vegan and cruelty free?

Yes! All our patches are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and made with ethically sourced ingredients.

Are there any side effects?

Patchly patches are made from gentle, natural ingredients and are generally well-tolerated. Mild skin redness where the patch was applied can happen occasionally but usually disappears quickly. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

If you have known skin sensitivities or allergies, test on a small area first.

Are Patchly patches safe for those with medical conditions or on medications?

While the patches are made with natural ingredients, it's important to consult a healthcare professional if you:

  • Have a pre-existing medical condition
  • Are taking medications (especially ones with overlapping ingredients)

We also advise consulting your doctor before combining their patches with other supplements.

Are Patchly patches safe for children or teens?

In general, our patches are formulated for adults (18+ years old). Some patches (e.g. pimple, anti-mosquito, period patches) might be safe for teens, but always consult a physician.

Can I use the patches during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

We do not recommend using Patchly patches during pregnancy or nursing. For safety, patches should be avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

How do I improve patch adhesion?
  • Choose a flat, relatively hair-free area (e.g. upper arm, shoulder).
  • Avoid placing close to joints or folds (e.g. wrist too low) — We suggest positioning about 10–15 cm above wrist for better adhesion.
  • Press firmly for a few seconds to secure the patch in place.
  • Avoid lotions or creams in the area before applying.
