I have frequent urination and urgency, occasionally leaking when I suddenly need to go. This product did nothing for me. I used one box with no benefit, not even less waking at night to go. I have better luck with doing Kagel exercises than I had with this medication.

This seems to work for leakage, but I still have the urge to go often. It clings to package and is hard to get tape off; basically falls off after bathing-not sure whether it should be replaced or pushed back on; leaves black marks after removal which take harsh scrubbing to remove.

We have custody of our granddaughter and she was turning 7 and still having accidents day & night and wearing pullups to bed. Her younger sister, age 3 was not. I read online that children age 7 could use it, so we tried half a patch on her and that was around February of 2014 and she has rare accidents during the day and no pullups at night and no patches for the last few weeks! great drug and delivery system...goof off removes extra adhesive btw...highly recommend it:)

Easy to use and after the 2nd day on it found great improvement. Will use again when traveling and unable to run to the bathroom every 30-60 minutes.

I'm really grateful that this drug is available over the counter. I'm 31 and have struggled with overactive bladder for as long as I can remember. I can't believe the difference it's made for me. The only reason I placed three stars for satisfaction is because how tired and slightly nauseous I am when I use it. I just wish there was a way I could take it and not be tired.

Satisfied completely UNTIL sensitivity to the glue on the patch developed after eight weeks of use. I moved it every time as instructed but the allergy continues so I have discontinued its use because the reaction is so strong that it takes five days to dissipate. Too bad, because it's a wonderful product.

Works like magic! My problem (urge incontinence) disappeared. I am on my second patch. I kept on the first one until failure - which was on day 11. Package is hard to open and I had some scrubbing to get adhesive off my skin but that's not bad. Leaking and wetting myself is bad but the magic patch has fixed it. Can I take it forever?

I received a free sample-box via the website and was SO Thrilled with the effects/results that I bought another box from my local drug store. Then Nothing!! ..I checked the expiration date and it was 5/2015, so NOT expired, and it did NOTHING! While I'm glad I got the 'Free Sample' direct, I feel I wasted $15 on a useless patch. I'm now wearing two from that same box within 24-hours each from original application, and NO help and am back to wearing a pad. ...I Am NOT a 'Happy-Camper'!

I seem to have a rash and extreme itching on my Pavia just on the outside. Sometimes the itching isn't too bad and the patch really works. Wonder if anyone else has experienced this.

This has been the best medication I've ever used. My problem is I'm allergic to the adhesive used. I wish there was something they can use that is hypoalergenic. I'm really disappointed right now. I have tried everything out there and this was the best. But, can't use due to allergy.... Help!

The patch caused itching in the area and after removing it, the skin was red and irritated. It continued to itch for a week and the red area did not go away for 3 week. I tried again in three weeks with the same result. I wish the adhesive was different because the medication itself worked great.

Noticeable difference in frequency and painful urination. Able to shop without looking for a bathroom to pass a teaspoon of urine.Adhesive adheres to lint in clothing but worth the nuisance.

I noticed a difference on day one! It was so nice not to have to go to the bathroom every time I had just a sip of water. To the person that says you can't open the package without sissors - read the directions. I had trouble getting it open at first until I took the time to read how to open it! I didn't at first, but now I get a rash under the patch that itches. Not sure why. I may actually talk to my doctor to see if there is a pill that will help me now that I know there is something that helps. I just worry about side effects of pills. I'd rather put up with a rash than fight weight gain or sleepiness all the time. Thank you Oxytrol. You really have changed my life!Read More Read Less

The sealed packet that the patch comes in is impossible to open unless scissors are used. PLUS, patch comes off easily after showering. I have also tried calling 1-888-699-8765 and no one has returned my call.

My days were planned by where restrooms were. Travel was stressful because I would constantly be worried about if I would be able to access a restroom. I had positive results within the first couple of days. I now sleep through the night which I don't remember doing for years! I was getting up 2-3 times a night. I can now go through almost a full day of work without having to go. It has removed a tremendous amount of anxiety for me. On occassion I will forget that its the day to put on a new patch and before the day is over, my bladder reminds me. I now write the date I am putting a new patch on the outside of the box. The patches do cause me some irritation. Some days more than others. I have sensitive skin. I have occasionally had to remove the patch before its done because the itching is too much if creases or bubbles have managed to work into the adhesive. I don't like how messy the adhesive can get. Its out of sight most of the time, its just knowing that its there. A little baby oil removes it. This medication doesn't claim to be for everyone, but it has been life altering for me. If they could make it less irritating to the skin and no messy adhesive it would be a perfect 10!Read More Read Less

I found the patch to be somewhat effective, pills work better for me. It is hard to get out of the package, and VERY uncomfortable once on. Hard to remove adhesive once taken off. If the medication had a different delivery system ( patch material ) I would rate it higher. Will use on days I'm very busy or for traveling.
