They stick nicely and they’re clear. My husband had one with his coming off the day while he was working, solution change placement higher up on arm close to shoulder. Haven’t had any more issues. I’ve already purchased from this company again and I’m now about to make my third purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rugby Clear Nicotine Patches (21mg): Effective and Affordable, but Adhesion Falls Short
Rugby Clear Nicotine Patches (Step 1, 21mg, 14 Count): Effective, Affordable, but Adhesion Needs ImprovementI recently started using the Rugby Clear Nicotine Patches (Step 1, 21mg, 14 Count) as part of my journey to quit smoking, and they’ve been a helpful tool, though not without flaws. Designed as a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for those smoking more than 10 cigarettes daily, these patches aim to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, and they deliver well on effectiveness but fall short in one key area.Ease of Use: 4/5Applying the patches is straightforward. You remove the backing and press the patch onto clean, dry, hairless skin (like the upper arm or shoulder) for 10 seconds, as per the instructions. The clear, discreet design is a plus, blending under clothing without being noticeable. The included self-help guide and behavior support program are useful, with an option to request a free audio CD for extra guidance, which I haven’t tried but appreciate. However, the adhesive can be finicky, often peeling off after 4–6 hours, especially during showers or sweaty activities, as noted by several Bolo and eBay reviewers. I’ve had to use clear medical tape to keep them in place, which is a hassle but manageable.Effectiveness: 4.5/5The 21mg dose, intended for heavy smokers, effectively curbs nicotine cravings. Within about two hours of application, I noticed a significant reduction in the urge to smoke, aligning with customer feedback that the patches “start working quickly” and help with focus and energy. One Bolo reviewer said, “They keep me nicotined up!” and I agree—the steady 24-hour nicotine release helps maintain a calm, focused state without the peaks and troughs of smoking. The step-down program (21mg, 14mg, 7mg) is well-structured, though I’m still on Step 1, so I can’t speak to the full transition. Some users report no cravings even when forgetting a patch, suggesting low dependency risk, which is encouraging. My only issue is occasional mild skin irritation, but it’s minimal and doesn’t deter use.Comfort and Wearability: 3.5/5The patches are thin and comfortable, with no itchiness or significant redness for my sensitive skin, unlike other brands that caused swelling, as noted by an eBay reviewer: “The adhesive on Rugby is fine on my sensitive skin.” The clear design is less obtrusive than tan patches, and I like placing them on my upper arm, as one user described it as their “secret armor for the day.” However, the adhesive is a consistent pain point—multiple reviews mention the patches falling off after a few hours, with one stating, “They don’t stick for 24 hours, I’m taping them on.” Orienting the patch with a corner upward helps with showering, but it’s not a complete fix.Value for Money: 4.5/5At around $22–$40 for a 14-count box (based on Bolo and Walmart listings), these patches are a budget-friendly alternative to pricier brands like NicoDerm CQ. Bolo customers call them a “great value” and a “superior product” for the price, with one noting, “I save $70 compared to pharmacy prices.” The simple ingredient profile—pure nicotine without unnecessary additives—is a big draw, as highlighted by a user who chose Rugby for its purity. The 4.4-star average from 71 Walmart reviews and positive eBay feedback reinforce its affordability and quality. However, the need for extra tape due to poor adhesion slightly offsets the savings.Packaging and Support: 4/5The 14-count box is compact and includes clear instructions, warnings, and a self-help guide, which is great for first-time NRT users. The step-down program is well-explained, advising Step 1 for 6 weeks for heavy smokers, followed by Steps 2 and 3. The patches are individually sealed, and the disposal pouch for used patches (to prevent child or pet exposure) is a thoughtful touch. Customer service is responsive, with Bolo reviews praising refunds or replacements for faulty patches. My only critique is that the packaging could emphasize the adhesive issue with tips for better application.Final Verdict: The Rugby Clear Nicotine Patches (Step 1, 21mg) are an effective and affordable aid for quitting smoking, delivering steady nicotine to curb cravings with minimal side effects. Their discreet design and simple ingredients make them a great alternative to pricier brands, and the included support materials are a bonus. However, the inconsistent adhesive—often peeling off within hours—is a notable drawback, requiring tape for all-day wear. I recommend these patches for budget-conscious smokers committed to quitting, but be prepared to secure them with medical tape and consult a physician for best results. With some tweaks to adhesion, these could be a top-tier option
3.0 out of 5 stars You can’t really cut these
I wanted to micro dose these but they don’t stay attached cutting them up. Not really up for 7/mg a day. They should make a 3.5 patch. I’d buy it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Clean surface well to make a better stick
Works great it will stay on but not on a hot weather they intend to soften
