Do not waste your money on these!
Do not waste your money on these! These are not “long lasting.” I would estimate good for an hour, if that. Both scent and staying in place. You are better off getting the nasal inhaler or rub. Take care!

Helps with stuffy nights!
I was surprised how well these worked! They stick on securely and provide a calming, menthol scent that actually helped ease congestion at bedtime. A new must-have for cold season.

We're very sorry to hear that the scent of your Vicks Children's VapoPatch purchase didn't meet your expectations. Our products go through extensive quality checks to ensure they provide excellent results, so what you described isn't something we'd expect. After applying VapoPatch on outer clothing around the chest, it should provide the soothing scent of Vicks vapors. To help us make this right for you, we'd like to gather more information about the product. For assistance, please give us a call at (800) 873-8276.

READ THE DIRECTIONS, ADULTS!!!
The directions SAY “do not apply to skin”. Yikes, people! The picture on the box even shows a child wearing pj’s with this product on his clothing and not on his skin. PAY ATTENTION. Some of these reviews are mind blowing. Anyways, I like this product. I use it myself sometimes because I can’t stand the feeling of Vicks vaporub on my skin. This works just as good. IMO.

New favorite
These are a lifesaver. My child would wake up during the night with coughing attacks. I saw these in store and decided to try it out. She was able to sleep through the night with not much coughing the first time we used it. Will definitely buy again.

Chemical smell
Smells like chemicals and not vicks. It's something to stick on clothes. It says on case of contact with skin, rinse with water immediately. Most definitely not safe for children but box would suggest otherwise.

These are... interesting
I hate putting vicks on me. And I hate when people say the most effective way is to literally put it up your nose. NO THANKS. I came across these the last time I was sick and gave them a try; the concept is so nice. I put it on my upper chest. I could FEEL the relief literally on my skin, however nasel wise? Not so much. It takes awhile for it to kick in as well. I'm not sure if it's because it was under shirt or not. I still will try to get these to work for me because no way am I going back to putting Vicks on me or in my nose.

STICK TO THE ORIGINAL
Stick to the jar or the stick this is a waste of time. I kept reapplying the stick because this wasn’t doing it.

Pricey but great product!!!!
These are identical to the Vicks Vapo rub for children with eucalyptus that you would spread on their feet or chest. These patches are great because no greasy mess on your hands. Just make sure they stick well (no issues on cotton t-shirts for us). They have an amazing smell and stay on all night. They are dried up and easy to peel off by the morning. Just wish they were half the price. $2/patch/night is a little pricey.

Waste of money. Didn't workz
I bought a 5 pack. I tried 2 patches and they did not stick and there as no smell at all. I’m hoping I can return the ones I didn’t use and get my my money back. It was an expensive purchase for something that didn’t work.

Great for kids!
These work really well for kiddos! Scent lasts a long time and it helps. My child said they could smell it all night and it helped them breathe!

Pricey but good
Picked these up when we came down with Covid and were dealing with horrible congestion. The scent is not strong at all so I didn’t think it would work. Well, lo and behold, one sticker on the outside of our pajamas and we all slept through the night without coughing and being unable to breathe. I just wish they were more affordable.

Not what i expected
I had higher hopes for this given the price of $2 a patch. I will stick to the jar in the future.

Didn't work for my child
Patch sticks well, but the scent is no where near the vicka scent I am used to. Pretty disappointed because these are a lot of money and the scent is off and not strong at all.

Our Children's VapoPatches are meant to deliver non-medicated Vicks vapors to help soothe your little one, Mel, so we're very sorry to hear this wasn't quite the case. All of our products undergo thorough quality checks before they find their way into your home, so this isn't something that we would expect. It may be helpful to know that our VapoPatches do not contain any active ingredients, so if you're looking for a stronger classic Vicks scent it's completely safe to use a patch alongside VapoRub at the same time, as long as you follow the usage directions for both. We would never want to leave any of our Vicks family disappointed, though, so our team would like to learn a bit more so we can try to help further. Please give us a call at (800) 873-8276, we look forward to hearing from you soon.
