All Better Co. makes plant-based topical solutions to treat bites, bumps, and sunburns. 

Every season brings a reason to be outside, especially when you’ve got kids! After endless summer days and crisp nights outdoors, the elements got the best of us. With bites, bumps, and sunburns, everyone’s skin winds up inflamed, irritated, and itchy. (Nothing worse than a middle of the night wake up call because of itchy skin, right?) We looked for clean products that worked for every body, but no luck. So we did what moms do best — we decided to make it better ourselves. All of our products are made with love and with the whole family in mind.

- The price is too high for the amount of patches. I used up an entire bag immediately and for $18 it should give you a little more runway.
- The patches need to come in different sizes. A majority of my bites were way bigger than the size of the patch. 
- Does not help with big, very itchy bites / bad reactions to bites. Maybe put a disclaimer on the bag for that case?

When I heard about all better co I absolutely loved the idea - especially as someone who suffers from TERRIBLE mosquito bite reactions all the time. So when I got my hands on them through Thingsdrop I was so stocked!!! It also just seemed like a perfect gift idea for my outdoorsy friends. Now, there were some things I was disappointed in that I will list below that definitely need improvement, BUT the shipping was fast (which in my case was essential cause up until this point id put my feet in ice bowls each night to not scratch my ankles bloody), the packaging is ADORABLE, and they worked for the most part - which was most important to me. Now, for my specific case, they only helped for some of the bites and the itching never went away fully. But given that I also have extreme reactions, I kind of expected that. It still makes me a little sad cause it’s not the miracle cure I hoped for it to be, but I guess that’s on me for unrealistic expectations. For my husband who has pretty normal mosquito bite reactions though they really did help a lot. So I guess what I’m saying is, definitely get it if you only have normal mosquito bite reactions, or if you are ok with it just making things a little better. But if you get really miserable from the bites, maybe see a doctor (which will be my next step).

I don't love the packaging, but can tell its generally eco-friendly. 

I picked these up on a ThingDrop, and the next week my partner complained about the lingering bug bites from our trip to California. I was thrilled that I literally had JUST THE THING for him. He's been using them this week and can confirm that they do absolutely help. 

I’m someone who reacts terribly to mosquito bites. Was excited to try the patches out, and luckily I ALWAYS get bites, so I didn’t need to wait long (and shipping was super quick). I’m not sure I could tell a difference in the itchiness of my bites with the patches on, but they did help with stopping me from scratching the bites (though a bandaid could do the same). Cute packaging and brand experience!

Instructions for application on the packaging may be helpful!  Once I figured it out it made a lot of sense but I kind of struggled at first and I imagine other people will too. 

I received the "Don't Scratch That" patches via Thingdrop, shipping was quick, and they work great! I'd say it takes a few minutes for the itching to go away but after that you're good to go.  I got bite around my ankles and wore the patches all day and had no issue with them falling off or starting to peel. 

I must say, a direction or 2 might have been helpful for application as the first one I had to toss until I figured out how to apply them.

When I received my  "Don't Scratch That"  from all Better Co. I have to say I was a little leery because so many companies claim they can "stop the itch". But, after a few minutes, I couldn't even pinpoint where exactly the spot was that was itchy! The packaging is so adorable with a nice zip container to hold the little patches. 

These patches are also waterproof and hold tight during showering and the night. The fact that they are 100% natural makes me feel that they are safe for me to use on my skin.

I really like the sustainable packaging it comes it. However the product does get stuck on it occasionally. It was every sticky that was stuck but I'd say around 50%

This does get rid of bug bites. I am a bug beacon and they all come to me. It makes it easy to not be as itchy for as long and the swelling from the bite visibly goes down within a day.

These should go in a much smaller pouch since the patches are so small. The pouch can be reused but it is low quality so I imagine most people will not.

It took me a while to review these since I wear long pants all year round and am not huge on doing outdoor activities where lots of bugs are found, but eventually, I was able to use these patches. And I think they work pretty well! When I put a patch on a bug bite I don't really notice it anymore. This is in comparison to the other bug bites I may have where I almost cannot control myself in trying to itch those spots. They stick to the skin quite well, though definitely put them on a bit before getting wet since the new ones I applied did not last long after a shower. The packaging for this product is also super cute and everything is very high quality.

But after seeing that these are hydrocolloidal patches, that got me thinking, aren't these just the same things as the pimple patches that got super popular in the last few years? From what I can tell, they pretty much are with some tea tree oil added in. But then I looked that up and I see patches do exist with that combination as well! These ones are said to be for acne, but if they have the same ingredients, they should theoretically do the same thing. And the fact that these patches are $17 for 18 patches makes these patches very expensive to what seems to be a very similar product. Since I know these work I may want to experiment with similar ones to see if they have the same effect. But it is possible that the Don't Scratch That patches are simply better- perhaps these ones stick so much better than other brands and are better for the environment. Or perhaps you just love the branding and want to support a wonderful small business. If these are truly the best I will be inclined to return, as I do not get bug bites too often. However, each patch feels like a big investment when they are almost $1 a piece, and accidents happen, meaning the odds of actually getting to use all these patches is slim. But at the end of the day, I felt these did work and so I am happy with the results!

The pouch is pretty big for the amount and size of patches you get. The price point is slightly expensive for what these are, but I feel like if you know these work - it’s worth it

Took a while for me to utilize them. I have to say, they worked better than expected. I woke up in the middle of the night to a bite I couldn’t stop itching. Since putting on one of these patches the urge to scratch definitely decreased a ton. I can still sense that it’s there but it’s not ass irritating. They do stay on pretty well on the hands pretty well after washing your hands, but the edges do lift a little 

Good to have on hand and especially in car first aid kits. Recommend for anyone who works with children, has to be on the go all the time, travel, or even those who camp / go around forest preserves. Haven't had to use much but excited to try for summer

Love when a product works as intended! My boyfriend came back from Mexico City with a ton of bug bites and they really did work at stopping the itch and making him not scratch.
