For Urinary Frequency "Great product. I have been on other drugs that gave me back side effects - rash, itching, dry mouth, constipation, headache, dizziness, back pain, etc. I urinate on average 20-40 times a day, approximately every 15-20 minutes. After using the patch, I went as long as 2 hours without using the restroom. My skin is irritated and red, but it's better than spending my whole day in the bathroom. I can't believe my doctor didn't put me on this over-the-counter drug first before spending hundreds of dollars on prescription medications. I have suffered for over 30 years with the issue of urgency and frequency, this is a miracle for me. Praise the LORD."

For Urinary Incontinence "When the urge hit, I had to go right then. I was a slave to pads. Not very sexy. I had an innerstem put in, but it did not help. The mess prescribed did not work either. The only thing that literally freed me from pads is the patch. I did not have dry mouth. I can wait to go potty for 1 hour or longer now."

For Urinary Frequency "Red, raised skin, itchy and uncomfortable reaction at each site to the adhesive that was lasting for a week - so not only site with a patch but also from the previous patch. Dry mouth, dizziness, and nausea, but yes, reduced need to run for the bathroom, just the side effects starting causing as many problems as it was meant to be solving."

For Urinary Frequency "I have been using the patches for about eight months. I still feel like my bladder is full even after going to the toilet. I wake through the night about twice a night, but the funny thing is I can get through six hours of voluntary work before needing to go to the bathroom as soon as I get home, which at times I am ready to burst. I feel the patch is working fifty percent of the time for me. I am having trouble trying to get four days out of a patch, as they get very brittle and bubble up. I try not to let them get wet in the shower, but clothing lifts it too. I guess they need to work on the kind of plaster to use that stays put on the skin. Also, I do get black marks from the adhesive and lint from cloth, but I use eucalyptus oil and tissue to remove it, and then shower, wipe the area dry, and reapply the bandage. I give the product a fifty percent out of a hundred percent but wish the constant urge and fullness would ease. Also, dry mouth and sinus problems seem to be more frequent, but I guess it's better than nothing."

For Urinary Frequency "The patch worked, but the extreme dry mouth side effect was unbearable! In fact, 8 months after not using the patch anymore, I still struggle with dry mouth! When does it go away?"
