They're awesome...
First off, if you think they're a miracle cure, you're wrong. Don't slap em' on and eat a gallon of ice cream.

They DO work though. I have a bit of cellulite on the sides and back of my legs. I put the patches on the back of my legs only, and the cellulite is almost gone there. The side stuff is still the same. All I'm doing is walking my dog each morning, and being a bit more responsible about my eating habits.

They stick well, and I've worn them all day then slept through the night without them coming off. If you wear really baggy clothes, they could roll a bit, but just be consious that they're on. Non-issue.

These patches are odorless, which is so great! I hate perfumey smells, and the gel reaks, so I can't use it. I put these on though, and go about my day. You can't see them through clothes, but they're under there...doing their job!

They really do work
I read all the mixed reviews before purchasing this product and figured I would take a chance and try it out. I've been using the patches 1-2 times a week in combination with the gel cream applied once or twice a day for two weeks now and I'd estimate I have about 80% less cellulite. It's not 100% effective, but it clearly reduces the appearance and firms up you skin. I'm a 25 year old woman and thanks to genetics, I've had cellulite on the back of my thighs and butt since my early teens. I'm 5' 10" 140lbs and I work out 3-4 times a week. The rest of my body is pretty toned, I just could never get rid of that stubborn cellulite! Thank you Nivea!

You will waste your money with these
I would give this product a 0 if I could. I am very disappointed in Nivea as I typically like their products. I simply do not believe those other reviews. I think they must be planted. I purchased boxes of these along with the lotion and used them as directed for about 8 weeks with absolutely no results whatsoever. Actually, I began to suspect that I was looking worse with the patches. I am a petite, athletic woman with little fat and a very healthy diet but still have some cellulite. I was hopeful after the reviews and the Tyra Banks show but now I don't believe it at all. I've decided to just get rid of all my shorts except swim shorts which I will wear with my bathing suit. Don't waste your money on this rip-off. I don't think I would submit to a medical procedure to remove my cellulite but I have to wonder if it simply wouldn't be more cost effective even if this product did work.

it works
I used these patches before going on a trip to the Bahamas. The first time I used them I saw no difference but the 2nd time (which was the next night) I could really tell a difference. I would definitely use these again. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that they really don't stick to you that well. I adjusted them a couple times in the middle of the night and had to wear tight stretchy shorts to bed to keep them on better.

Not easy to use.
I've ordered patches instead of the gel by mistake and my first thought it was for good. No it was not - the patches just don't stick to the skin though i've put them right after the shower. I even put a pair of tight shorts to keep them on. But still, they keep rolling up and don't sit on the skin.



Another thing i really don't like - the area the patch can cover is pretty tiny. i'm size 3-4, and i don't have that many areas i need to cover but in order to cover them all on by legs and butt i need at least 8-10 patches to cover everything at the same time ( i've put just 2 at the time though). I can't even imagine how many of them a larger woman would need.



The gel is great though. So, if you are considering the product, my advise - go for the gel. I'm so disappointed with the patches, that i'm ready to loose money and send them back, they don't worth trying.
