Frequently Asked Questions

My child gets a lot of bites when outside
If your little one is dealing with multiple bug bites, they'll need immediate & long-lasting relief for all areas. And while creams and sprays can work at first, they're short-lived, can make a mess, and leave clothes stained. Fortunately, Magic Patches can cover multiple bites (one patch per mosquito bite), provide relief for as long as they stay on the skin (up to 7 days) and stay effective even in water -- all without any mess or harsh chemicals!
My child and I react badly to mosquitos bites
The saliva in a mosquito bite can be an irritant to children with sensitive skin or allergies. Fortunately, Magic Patch's unique grid system will mechanically drain the saliva from bug bites, reducing itching, reactions, and sensitivity all in one go.
My child scratches their bites too much
The urge to scratch a mosquito bite can be overwhelming, especially for children. Take it too far, and a simple bite can become a deep scratche or even an infection. Fortunately, Magic Patches plaster over the bite, providing a physical barrier that limits scratching. Meanwhile, the patch itself drains the insect saliva - reducing the trigger behind itching at its root cause.
How do these work?
Itch Relief Patches contain no chemicals. They work kinesthetically!
My child is going to a place where there will be mosquitoes
Magic Patches allow you to stay ready & prepared -- even if your little one will be travelling to an area with mosquitoes. Simply slip a few into your child's pockets or backpack so that they're handy at all times, and apply as necessary to any bites or scratches. Not only will they provide near immediate relief, but your child will also love having a sticker to show off to their friends!
My child wakes up at night complaining about itches
Itching from a bite can easily disturb sleep and keep your child awake at night. Fortunately, Magic Patches use a unique Grid-Relief™ system that mechanically drains the saliva found in bug bites. That way the itching reduces, and your child gets the relief they need to settle down into a good night's sleep.
