You will smell the Eucalyptus and menthol once you open the package. It’s the soothing, natural smell of both plants.

You can keep the patch on for as long as you want. However, as the effectiveness wears off before the 12 hour mark, it’s generally best to take it off and replace it with a new one.

Yes. In fact, it’s one of the advantages of an all natural product! Many of the women in our tests have worn one patch during the day, and put another one on just before going to sleep with some even changing the patch 2-3 times a day.

Yes. Some women who want to cover a larger area can safely use multiple patches in one go.

Yes - we’d recommend it! 

Yes, but your partner will definitely smell the eucalyptus (if he/she doesn’t mind)!

Yes, you can wear it at the gym. It is very unlikely that the patch will come off whilst exercising.

Yes. In fact, if you have some hair on the area you have applied it, you may find it easier to peel off when you’re in the shower when the plaster is wet.

No, we advise not to as getting the plaster wet in the swimming pool could reduce its effectiveness.

If you are allergic to either eucalyptus, menthol, or plasters, we advise you do not use our product. If you are not sure, we advise testing it out on a small area first. If any irritation arises please take the patch off immediately and seek medical help.

Everything in the patch is natural so unless you are allergic to any of the ingredients, you shouldn’t get any irritation. However, if you do suffer from extremely sensitive skin, we advise you test it out on a small area first.

Pro Tip: If you have sensitive skin, you can still use the patch, but we advise taking the patch off in the shower (once it has become wet) as the water will make it really easy to take off (so any irritation should be minimised).

Yes you can - the science still holds!

Unfortunately no - there is some anecdotal evidence to show that menthol can reduce the amount of milk produced. While that can be great for engorgement, it's not the intended purpose so we'd stay clear until breastfeeding is over. 

Menthol and eucalyptus oil aren't known to be harmful to use when planning or during pregnancy. In fact, lots of customers use (or have used) the patches throughout pregnancy - having been cleared by their doctor / pharmacist to use them - particularly in their first trimester.

However, as with all herbal products, we always advise consulting your doctor first as we do know that some doctors advise against the use of any essential oils whatsoever - either when planning a pregnancy, or while during pregnancy. We just always prefer to be on the safe side, and it's also nice for you to have peace of mind if you speak to a doctor / pharmacist you trust.
