step1 24mg quit patches

I did not want to write a review until I used them for a couple weeks, just to make sure I wasn’t excited over nothing. But I didn’t want to wait any longer, as I want to answer the questions I was looking for when reading through countless reviews to find a reasonably priced patch that actually works… I initially was getting patches through my doctor. But the ones the insurance company gave me were big brown, bandaid looking stickers. They irritated my skin (red and very itchy,) and were shot as soon as they got wet. And still pretty expensive. I figured I would try these, after reading many reviews and comparing prices. I was happy to see the packaging was great, and the manufacturer date was within a month of purchase! Expiration date is 3 yearsish. They were much easier to open, and small. It just looks like a clear bandaid, with no writing advertising your business of quitting smoking on your arm. They also did not irritate my skin. I have showered with them and they stayed intact for the most part. The time it didn’t was when I tested one I had on my arm for almost the time limit, and even then just the edges were not adhered. I’ve worked out in them just fine. I don’t even remember they are on until it’s time to change. Honestly, for the price, if once in a while you need two a day it’s still worth it. They seem to work really quick too. Mind you, they are not magic. I am still fighting the oral fixation urges. But I am not missing the nicotine rush. With the price being so reasonable, compared to name brands, I would highly recommend. Everyone seems to react differently to these products, but this is my honest review—I was not paid to write this. Hopefully I covered everything you were wondering. Good luck, I hope your experience is equally as beneficial On your journey.

The only other nicotine patches I've used have been the Rite Aid ones and I've gotta say, I'm pretty upset i didn't find these earlier. From the price I assumed these would be worse, but the Rite Aid ones were starting to really irritate my skin so I decided to look for another option. Comparing the two: Price: These are 20 dollars for 30 patches, RiteAid are 27 dollars for 14 patches. Packaging: Although these carry over twice as much, they come in a smaller box. The individual patch wrappings are also far thinner and can be opened without scissors, as opposed to Rite Aid. Also, I really like that unlike RiteAid ones, which discourage cutting them in half because the nicotine apparently isn't distributed evenly throughout the patch (likely just a lie to ensure people continue paying the same amount for steps 2 and 3), this one actually is perforated down the middle to make cutting them in half easy. Comfort: These are far more comfortable, far smaller, far less conspicuous, and stay on far better. Also, the RiteAid ones started to give me a rash after a few days. Craving control: I've personally found these more effective at controlling my cravings, although that may just be due to my cravings naturally lessening over time since i started using these after the RiteAid ones. While using the RiteAid ones I was able to cut down from 10-15 a day to 4-6 cigarettes a day. Using these I've come down to one cigarette a week! After smoking for over a decade, i never thought I'd be able to cut down to that extent. Really grateful for these.

I have had better sticking ones, effect is good

These work great. I was a 55 year smoker and I have been free and clear now for 88 days. Thank you

These suck. Don't work well, more of a scam...need to go with well known name brand patches if you want a solid chance at quitting. I wore these and still smoked, didnt feel like I was even getting any nicotine from them at all.

While I love how these are packaged in a box of 30, and the price is nice, I did not feel these offered the pain relief another brand did for my osteoarthritis and torn labrum. I will return to the brand I used originally.

I just switched to these patches from the NicoDerm and RiteAid brands...After using them for a week, I'm mad I didn't come across these sooner! You get so much more for way cheaper AND they are better. 20 bucks for 30 patches versus the Rite Aid brand at 26 bucks for 14 patches. They work just as well but are clear, stick much better (even during shower), and the individual packages can be opened without needing scissors. I cant say how many times I was driving to work when I realized I didn't put a patch on after my morning shower. Have you ever tried opening a package in your car that has a 'tear here' mark that doesn't really tear there while being in a mood that if the wind looks at you wrong, you are going to snap?! Yaaaa.....Not going to have that issue with these ones. Highly recommend!

I’ve been using this for about 9 days ( been a smoker for 9 years ) and so far, I did not have the urge to smoke a cig. Some days yes, I felt like I needed to smoke but most of the days, it was under control. It sometimes tends to be a little bit itchy, and you lose a little bit of adhesive when you shower, but other than that, it works! For the first few nights, my dreams were quite vivid and I still remember them hours after waking up. But gradually, it doesn’t seem so vivid anymore. Honestly it’s more fun when your dreams are vivid lol. I hope this keeps me off cigs forever. If you’re struggling to quit smoking, give this one a try!
