One user said the felt was itchy on the Patch Mes. Have 2 children who need them, so I'm curious if anyone else found them itchy or hot or whatever?

My 5 years old daughter wears those patches since nearly one year. She has 3 of them and she never said she found them itchy. She has 2 pair of glasses and she prefer the bigger one to wear the patch so that they cannot move. This summer, sometimes she found them a little hot but she really really loves them and it is so mutch easier since we have found them. No more cries on the morning, it is not a problem anymore.

I bought two Patch Me's for my 5 y.o. daughter, so we could keep one at her grandparents' house. She had no complaints of itching or being hot with either one. In fact, she did so well wearing them that we only recently were told by the eye doctor that we could take a patching "vacation". Except...my daughter didn't want to stop wearing them! The design on these is awesome and works with both molded plastic frames and wire frames with nose pads (We have one pair of each style and no complaints about itchiness with either one). This product made our patching experience so much better.

The felt on the one my son has does not feel itchy. He hasn't complained about the comfort at all... We tried a few other products and this has been the most comfortable for him. Good luck :)

After months of use (and a couple of washes) I noticed the occasional string from the felt. My son lets me know if it's bothering him and I just trim it off. He's never complained that it feels hot or itchy.

My daughter has not complained about it being itchy or hot. We ordered the purple butterfly one and love it.

@Oklahoma Girl ... I had the same problem with my feet feeling really dry afterward, but the instructions said don't use any other products on your feet until the peeling stopped. I think I'll try a daily soak next time I do it, as others have recommended. Nix Nix, you are probably going to want the socks. I live alone, and even I couldn't stand the trail of skin flakes going through my house! It's gross ... wonderfully gross, and so worth it, but not something I wanted to have to clean up!

yes, its itchy, I won't recommend using it directly, its also a bit rough the wool, its warm, but not the most comfortable blanket.

I have. The other day it was 92 in the valley out here in so cal and I wore this helmet. It felt slightly warmer but I think my biggest issue was when my head got itchy there were no vents to scratch. They do have a new helmet coming out in the fall called the Giro synthe. It's a semi Aero hybrid between the air attack and aeon. It offers ventilation and an aero feel with a less comical look. I would hold off to get that helmet (and am going to add that to my repertoire when it's released).

I purchased this product for my kid as well. He slept with the patch over night. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the effectiveness as my kid lost interest in it and discontinued use.

I think there was a patch kit with ours, but i haven't had to use it. The company was very helpful when i spoke to them before, so i would talk to them. Hope this helps.

I just noticed a greenish blue spot on her nose and scratch on her cheek :( so far I've tried getting it out with some blue dawn but hard to say if it even faded or not. Seems as if others had the same issue. Maybe there was a bad batch once apon a time??? I purchased mine on clearance in 2013 at the Disney Store. I'm hoping it doesn't spread or that somebody's found a way to get it out. Doesn't help that my 3yr old daughter also has a fear of the HULK. So far she doesn't seem to mind as we just noticed it today. From previous reviews it doesn't seem to be because of the dress. I'm wondering if maybe the formal version of the doll (blue dress) or even the classic version has the same issue?

If you work on bladder control while using the patch, I found that when I stopped using it I was still ok for a few weeks. But the urgency problem is slowly returning. I don't know if that happens to everyone or just me.

I wear a pain patch, and I put the tegaderm over the patch. It sticks for atleast a good 7 days or longer. They aren't hard to remove at all, and they don't rip your skin. The first week I wore them the edges kinda irritated my skin, but then it got use to it and I haven't had an issue since. I've been using this same box for a year now. I work in a hospital and we use the same brand. It pretty much rolls off when you're ready to remove it! Goodluck!

I will ask my son how it feels I bought it to send to him - he's in the Army. I'll respond again when tells me. If you have any other questions let me know. I'll ask him general ones though like how does it feel, is it greasy or dry and does it get sticky or runny etc. He just needs it for his ears where he is the most allergic. Thank you

I've had some of mine for 3+ years. They're not rough and scratchy but they are a little pilly. I actually don't mind, I feel like it gives me more "grab".

I would recommend placing the patch on a more smooth/flat area. For me the top of the buttocks works best.

It is itchy. It's wool. Kept me warm in a deer stand with 9* windchill though. Heavy but warm. If you don't want itchy, find alpaca wool. Hard to find on Internet.

I haven't used it for that reason. It's not super sticky, but I think your felt might rip if left on for a long time.
