Like it or not, mosquito season is here, meaning it’s time to stock up on bug repellent. Ideally, we want something that feels safe for our kids, is easy to use, and actually works. Unfortunately, that combo is harder to find than it should be.
If you spend any time in the BabyCenter community forumsOpens a new windowhowever, you’ll see parents recommending NATPAT patchesOpens a new window again and again. One parent shared, “NATPAT mosquito repellent patches work great. I put them on my baby’s car seat or stroller when we go on walks.” Another described them as “little stickers that you put on their clothes that repel mosquitoes,” adding that they use them for the whole family in mosquito-heavy areas.

I also own these patches and we genuinely love them, my husband included. My 18-month-old is currently obsessed with stickers, so I already know she is going to be a superfan once spring and summer roll around. That is part of what makes NATPAT feel like a worthwhile investment. They get the job done and the kids actually enjoy using them.
Parents also appreciate that the patches skip sprays and harsh ingredients. One mom shared that she used NATPAT during pregnancy because she “didn’t want to put repellent on my skin,” while others mentioned that kids keep them on more easily because they are simple stickers instead of something that feels medicinal.

Why parents stock up on NATPAT

No sprays, no harsh ingredients, nothing to ingest
NATPAT patches use essential oils instead of DEET or synthetic ingredients and stick to clothing or nearby surfaces, not skin. There is nothing kids have to swallow and no sticky residue to deal with once the outdoor season starts.
Truly stick and forget
Each patch releases scent gradually for up to eight hours using AromaWeave technology. One patch can cover a school day, an afternoon outside, or an evening walk without reapplying.
