ok was at a party and a chick there was talking about how's she's using the diet patch and then just saw an advertisement on it online. I hadn't heard of it. They are expensive forget how much she said and didn't click on the link.

So.....

Anyone heard of it? Is anyone using them? Anyone thought of it?

It would seem to me like other things that if you do lose when you stop using you'd gain back and i wouldn't want to wear a patch forever..lol

I'm guessing it releases an appetite suppressant transdermally..but what is in it, and do you need an Rx? I'd be skeptical and, you have a point..take it off, gain it back?

Wouldn't it be cool if it were a placebo and worked by the power of suggestion ALONE?

Let us know what else you find out!

There needs to be a patch for the following:

Birth control, weight loss, smoking cessation

Birth control, antidepressant, weigh loss.

Birth control, forgetfulness, road rage

Anti-psychotic, smoking cessation, weight loss.

Wouldn't it be cool to go into a Dr's office and customize a patch like you can do with essential oils in the Body Shop ? When are they gonna come up with this? If they can make a pill for a man so he can have sex for hours, then they need to work on a patch for us!

Hell, we put a man on the moon. What's holding them back?

I've heard of those patches. I think I saw an infomercial on them once. I kind of think of them the same way I think of diet pills. I've never taken a diet pill because I'm afraid of the side effects and like you said, once you go off, do you gain all the weight back? So I would feel the same way about a patch. But then again, I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to stuff like that. So although it wouldn't be right for me, it might work for someone else. It would be interesting to see what you find out about it.

And patches for men:


Stimulates listening skills and flower-buying AND birth control patch

Slob control patch ( I'd need at least two)

Anti-Procrastination patch

Anti-idiot patch (DOES IT COME IN BULK????????)

Hormonal patch to get in touch with their 'feminine side'.

'Yes Dear' patch

A 'Stop Begging For It' patch

They need to make these ASAP and have them available for overnight delivery.

Edited because I need a spell-check patch.

I did waste money on these patches as well as so many other diet aides like cortislim.. etc. There was not appetite suppression that I could see, but you did get a lot of pain pulling them off and then there would be a black square whereever you had put it.

Since I started in my menapause state.. i just continue to get bigger and have less and less strength and energy.. so I was willing to try anything.. but I now know that until I get my mind set on doing what I need to do .. i will just continue to grow.

I would love a metabolism booster patch myself.

Glad you all didn't waste any money on this.. they're about $30 per package of 30

I've seen them, and I believe they'd be very effective.......If I put one over my mouth, LOL!!! I thought it was a bit 'kooky' and I wouldn't spend my money on it (like most over-the counter diet aids), but it would be nice, wouldn't it?
