BACKGROUND
First there were patches to help you quit smoking and now there is a patch for losing weight. Created for women trying to lose those last five pounds, the Pink Patch is a substance-infused sticker that you slap on once a day to curb your appetite. The ingredients, which seep into the skin, are intended to control your appetite for 24 hours while revving up your metabolism, curbing your appetite, boosting your energy and elevating your mood. Pink Patch is the newest product from Curb Your Cravings, responsibile for the Hoodia patch.
The Pink Patch is marketed toward girls and women in their teens and early twenties. You are expected to lose approximately one to three pounds each week.
The suggested use for the Pink Patch is to stick one patch on your skin in the morning and leave it on throughout the entire day. You are encouraged to drink a lot of water, avoid alcohol and limit caffeine to only a cup per day while you are wearing the Pink Patch.
PRO
- The Pink Patch may be able to help you lose weight
- Pink Patch does not cite any side effects
CON
- No FDA approval or evaluation of the supposed and intended results of the Pink Patch
- No scientific or medical claims to support the Pink Patch claims
- It targets young women whose bodies might be more vulnerable to the unregulated and synthesized ingredients contained in the Pink Patch.
- Does not include any guidelines for how to maintain a healthy weight once the young woman stops wearing the patch.
- It encourages young women to be skinny and to do introduce potentially harmful substances into their bodies in order to achieve their dream bodies
INGREDIENTS
The Pink Patch contains, Fucus Vesiculosus , a type of seaweed, used in holistic medicine to reduce excess weight by increasing metabolism. It also contains yerba mate, a South American stimulant and hunger suppressor and lecithin, an emulsifier that is claimed to re-proportion your body weight. The ingredients in the Pink Patch are absorbed into the skin and are time released throughout the day.
FOOD and EXERCISE
Even though there is no formal diet or exercise plan you should follow while wearing the Pink Patch, you are encouraged to eat a low-fat and low-calorie diet and exercise in order to be see the intended weight loss results.
EXPENSE
A one-month supply of the Pink Patch costs $49.95. There is also a one-week free trial offer as well. The Pink Patch can be ordered from the product’s website.
CONCLUSION
The Pink Patch is a dietary supplement that has not been approved or evaluated by the FDA, therefore its effectiveness and safety cannot be validated. Also, be warned of any supplement that claims to shed pounds by simply putting a sticker on your arm. Moreover, since this product is targeted specifically to young women, it promotes the pressure for women to be skinny by doing whatever they can to achieve their perfect body even if that means taking a product that is unregulated and potentially harmful. As with any new drug or supplement, consult with your medical doctor before taking the Pink Patch
Common Misspellings
pinkpatch, pinc patch, penk patch, pink patch
bsl: Don't do it! It does not work at all. In fact, I noticed that when I wore it, I was very bloated and when I went a day or two without wearing it, I wasn't. I think I even gained a couple of pounds while wearing it. I wore it for about a month.
kate bradbury: I love the pink patch since wearing it I've had virtually no appetite and in the first 2 weeks I've lost 6lbs. Its all down to the individual.
LAF: I love this product! I couldn't believe I felt a difference just a few hours after I started! I feel great and I lost 4 lbs my first week and haven't really changed my excersize program. Heard some people had side effects but I haven't experienced any.
youre all clueless: look, this isnt some magic patch, all it is is an appetite supressor, therefore it wont work long term because....1)if you have the will power in the first place to stop eating chocolate, mcdonalds and fatty salty junk then you dont need the patch in the first place. 2) if you havent got the willpower to stop stuffing your face in the first place then this patch isnt going to make any difference. solution is simple cut out the crap from your diet, stop snacking and stuffing your fat face with food and get off your fat cellulite butt and do some exercise,
TopDieter: I am on day 2 and it has stopped my hunger. And when I do eat meals i dont eat everything in site! So far so good!
Lilou: I am hoping to lose the extra 10lbs I put on since getting engaged and i am using the pink patch. It's day 3 and I've lost 4lbs, so I think that my weight loss speaks volumes. "youre all clueless" needs to get a life. I think this patch is good if you have a small amount of weight to lose or if you are addicted to sugar because you can use the patch to stop the sugar cravings and then when you finish using said patch, your blood sugar will be regulating itself normally and you won't be craving the naughty things- so, unless you decide to start eating them in large quantities again the prob should be solved. I don't think anyone has suggested that the patch is "magic" but so far I am finding it really helpful. I am a dancer by profession but I have not changed my exercise program and for me the weight that I've lost seems to be down to this patch! I would be wary about wearing it over a long period of time as the lack of studies on this product is an area of concern but at this rate by next week I won't be needing it. so in conclusion, for a short term fix or quick boost I don't think it will do any harm and I am happy with this product as it is working for me at the moment.
hmmm: I havent used it yet..I was thinkin about it tho... ive heard some good things and some bad things... but I think I might try it for a week anyway...just to see...
Jill Parkinson: Just thought i'd share with you my experience, I lost 6.7 stone last year, going from a size 18/20 to a size 12 in 7months through working out excessively and eating sensibly. However I have put on a stone again, now weighing in at 10stone 5lbs. I HAVE JUST STARTED USING THESE PATCHES - I have lost 3lb in 3days and feel fabulous, I haven't altered my eating although I have less of an appetite and it has given me the extra energy boost to get me back in the gym at home. I will be using them but just until i've shifted this stone 2 months max as am not convinced that long-term use would be all that good addiction wise.... Good look to anyone else thinking of trying them.
claire: hello everyone! im going to be recieving my second months worth of paches soon, and i just wanted to share my good news for the first mont! iv lost 12lbs! very excited in going into the second month as i still have another 12lbs to go. so when i reach my target ill let you all know! bye for now
amy: i just had my baby months ago and gained well over 50 lbs. and i lost only 20 of it. i would love to fit in my old jeans again. ever since she was born, i've ate healthier and exercise and nothing changed. i wanted to know if this really works. maybe it will give me a boost back to my self confidence.
tara j: Thats great to hear for those that it has helped but i have to share my exsperience with the company ripping me off when i sent it back! They claim if you send it back you get a full refund except shipping but they dont tell you that if you just go and send it back to where it came from you void you refund. One rep told me that it had to go back to a different address (warehouse) from the one on the envelop the first time i called and then a nother rep told me i that it has to go to the address that it came from.So screwed out of the money because i returned it to sender instead of opening it up and on the packing slip it tells you not to return to sender. BUT the address that they say to send it back to IS THE EXACT SAME!!!! It is a scam and i garentee many people screw that up and lose that money. they should have this posted on the outside envelop!!!! So becareful if your planing on sending it back!!! make sure you get a confermation from the postoffice!!!
marie: I am 36 years of age, is this patch going to work for me or am I too old!
Tracy: Im just trying the pink patch at 37 so will see soon if it works. Im after loosing those last few pounds that wont shift despite a good fitness regime and sensible diet. The patch is designed to reduce your appetite so you eat less than you need also giving you a boost in energy which is often depleted through lowering calorie intake. Its not a miracle cure just an aid to help and as long as you maintain a sensible diet afterwards and keep up with fitness then yes it should work. for some people like myself its hard to shed a few pounds as your close to your ideal weight your body tries to hand on to those pounds and its not that your stuffing your face its that you may be struggling with energy on a diet thats low enough in cals to shed them last pounds.
hjuufhfjfj: some of you are claiming to have lost 3-4lbs in 3 days which is ridiculous and very dangerous, i think your reviews are fake and planted by the company, either that or youre just starving yourself, which means you'll put the weight back on again as soon as you stop using the patch.
hin: got the trial and it was my first day yesterday...felt no different :| definitely no effect on my cravings or appetite...i'm a healthy bmi though so I don't really need to control my appetite as I don't overeat but just wanted to see if the supposed increase in fat metabolism would help me lose a few lbs....hmmm
JODIE: i am not that much over wieght but my size jeans were getting 2 tight etc, so i got me one months worth, its been 5 days now and ihave lost 3lb already! so all good so far and they do make you feel full and i dont crave late at night like i used 2.
Pig: I have jus ordered a weeks worth of the Pink Patch no harm in giving them a go however i really want to make sure that my contraceptive pill will still work when i use the patch. does anyone have any answers??
Selah: To the 'youre all clueless' person....You are an immature brat. Not everyone who wants to use a diet aide is 'fat' or lazy. You are just a kid and DO NOT understand what it means, obviously to need help in losing weight. Not everyone got overweight just by eating a lot and doing nothing. Stop going around to these sites and being a complete asshole.
Gillian: I have been dieting and exercising with a personal trainer 3 times a week for the past 6 weeks to help me shift 3 stone. My weight loss is usually steady and I lose about a pound every other day. Since starting a six day trial with the patch, my usual steady weight loss has stopped. Would suggest to others therefore that these are a complete rip off so save your money. Those that have had some success I would put it down to your mind playing tricks on you - because you think you have a 'miracle' patch on that is curbing your appetite you are probably eating less but not due to the patch, it's all in the mind. If someone gave you an ordinary elastoplast and told you you would lose weight by wearing it you'd probably get the same results at a much cheaper price. Save your money girls and realise from someone who has tried everything on the market over the past 15 years that the only way that works is eat healthier and exercise.
jade: Hi i ordered the free trial ! got this and 2 weeks later ! £40 come to my door without ordering them ! i was shocked, but havent received my bank statement yet so hopefully havent been charged . any way im using them at the moment ., I find they have a weird smell to them ! but i have lost a couple of pounds . im only a size 12 anyway so maybe the weight will shed slower :S! just wante dthem before my holiday ! i think theyre way to expensive though ! i suggest walking and adios ! thats good stuff and its worked a treat for me !
ljb: Be careful if you order the free trial as unless you e-mail curb your cravings within 14 days of accepting the free trial they will automatically send you a months worth and keep taking the payment from whichever payment device you used to pay the P&P on the free trial. On a flip side, I did the free trial and lost about 4 pounds, (cancelled the subscription) and then ordered a one off delivery of a months worth and have now lost another 3 pound only 1 week in. It may well be pyschological but if it helps then whats the problem!!
Louise: Has anyone else noticed the fine print? After your trial 6 days end if you do not contact them and say stop they will send you out a new set every thirty days at a cost of almost £40 as they store your bank details on there records.
Linda: Hi all. I'd just like to say, that after having my 5thchild and gaining 3&1/2 stone, I looked in to all kinds of diets. To begin with, I started by drinking more water, at least 6 glasses a day which kick started my system and I started to loose about 6lb a week. I also removed almost all fat from diet, eating approx 25-30g of fat a day (the recommendation is 70g of fat for women) and changed all eating habits including changing my rice to wholegrain and my pasta to whole wheat. It started getting difficult at around the 10&1/2 stone mark, and I wanted to get down to 9stone. I then used the pink patch for 1 whole week and started the slim fast plan at the same time. This helped to curb my hunger while my body adjusted to the slimfast plan. Now I'm 9st from a whooping 13&1/2 stone after my daughter was born. My daughter is now 10 months old, I don't really do any exercise other than the daily cleanin,g tidying etc, and I try walk to the shops which is approx 15mins away. I didn't have to change a lot or go to the gym to get these results so it just goes to show...anything is possible!!!
pennylane: I'm not sure who is real on this site and who isn't, but that's ok. I ordered the patches (free trial) and I haven't really noticed anything. However, you do receive a month's supply if you don't contact them! I cancelled, but not after $50 was charged. I believe it does curb my cravings, but other than that, nothing miraculous. Would I recommend? Probably not. I haven't lost anything....except $50.
JODIE: diet update using pink patch, if you read futher up i said i have loste 3lb... well its been just over a week now and i have lost 5lb now, dunno if this is drastic? but i just dont feel hungry and dont feel tired either, got to be doing something.
Jessica: I am curious as to whether those 3-4 pound weight losses are attributable to water loss. Would someone comment on overall weight loss extending beyond a month? What about the success of keeping it off? Congratulations to those of you who are feeling better due to the weight loss.
dani: is it safe? im worried that i put my card details down and something goes wrong! itsays you have to cancell in 14 days or you will keep getting monthly supplies but it has no where on the website for you to cancel!? how do you do it?
hhm: hello all. i have jus ordered my free trial. there are mixed reviews so dont know what to take from it. I will give the first week ago and see the results. i jus wanted to know from claire, firstly congrats on losing ur 12lbs in the first month but how did u keep ur diet? and did exercise aswell to maximise the results? i would definetly like to achieve the same results just needed some advice from anyone really how often did u exercise? my free should come inn the next two days and that way atleast im prepared.
Tan: Hi , Firstly dont let 'you're all clueless' get to you, he or she is just some weirdo that likes to wind people up, everytime you bite they must get a kick out of it, bit sad really isnt it. I was just wondering how long delivery is as I have been waiting for over a week now?, my friend has lost a little on them though so I think they may be worth a go!
Ellie: I ordered the free trial of the patches about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Right away, I noticed that I'm happier and in a better mood overall. I don't have the appetite that I normally do and I haven't been craving things (like carbs) that I previously did. I received my month's supply three days ago and will continue to wear the patch. I lost a few pounds already. I plan on continuing to wear the pink patch just because I feel a lot happier and less stressed out than previously. In addition, this is a nice diet aid because you don't have to remember to take pills at a certain time and no one will know that you're on this diet (unless you tell them or show them the patch). I got tired of other diet aids because I had a hard time remembering when to take all the pills and I wouldn't take them when I went out to lunch with co-workers or friends and family. This is a very simple diet with no adverse reactions. I think that this is a good diet aid, as long as you try to make better food choices and exercise 20-30 minutes a few times per week.
Justme: Although I wouldn't phrase it as "you're all clueless" has, I have to agree with what he/she says. The only way to lose weight is to either eat less or exercise more, or both. I can't think of any miracle weight loss products that have actually worked.

Jules: It is my first day on the pink patch and I feel awful. I have a funny taste in my mother and feeling light headed and sick. Did anyone else feel like this? Jules
Megan: I'm trying to order a free trial of Pink Patch. But is it just my computer, or does the ordering page not have a California listed as a state? Is California banning Pink Patch or something? Oh. And for the cancelling the free subscriptions in 6 days thing, should I cancel AFTER I get my Pink Patch or before I receive it?
JO: i am on my 1st day and i am feeling more hungry than normal and my arm aches.. i will stick at it tho as i want 2 c 4 myself if it does actually do what most ov u r saying.
emma: i would just like to say to all those this hasnt worked for... the ingredients are natural first of all, secondly, there are different kinds of fat... e.g fatty acids is the one this cuts down on... so ofcourse EVERYBODY reacts to everything differently, there is no harm trying it as u CAN NOT put on weight. and this advice was taken from my GP only because i excerise, eat healthy but some how am still putting on the weight. i hardly every eat chocolate or mcdonalds... etc... SO GIRLS... go for it, try the trial if nothing happens in 6days you will then know this is not for u... good luck
GETREALLADIES!: LADIES COME ONE!! THIS IS A SCAM, YOU CAN LOOSE THE SAME AMOUNT OF WEIGHT BY EXCERCISING AND EATING PROPERLY. THIS 12LB/MONTH WEIGHT LOSS IS NOTHING THAT CANT BE DONE WITHOUT A PILL!!!! THE PINK PATCH IS A MONEY MAKER FOR ALL LADIES WHO ARE TOO LAZY TO WORK OUT 3 TIMES A WK AND EAT PROPERLY TO PRODUCE LONG LASTING EFFECTS TO THEIR BODIES! AMERICA IS LAZY AS WE CLEARLY SEE!!
omra: My advice would be to see your GP first. I've had a look into some of these wonderful, natural ingredients and three of them alter hormonal levels and the effects of oral contraceptives. Before you get yourself "up the duff", see your doctor: Flaxseed may alter hormonal levels and alter the effects of oral contraceptives or HRT. Only use flaxseed under the supervision of a qualified health care provider if you are taking hormonal altering medications such as oral contraceptives or HRT!
Comment: I am currently using the free sample, on my 5th day now and so far I have not lost an oz. However, it is the wrong time of the month for me and had I thought about the timing, I would not have ordered it just yet. Omra great positive advice! to take on board. I just wanted to add that some people talk about going to the Gym, being Lazy and eating healthy. I speak for myself and may be the few people out there, with a medical reason why the Gym is not an option (I did join the Gym and I stopped as it provoked additional pain), without the benefit of excercise eating health is not always enough to lose weight. It may work if I choose a fad diet. I find some negative comments are way off base and miss the point why some people would like to diet in the first place. .
Fanoire : heyy! im 12 years old and i stole a pack of my mums patches- i wore 10 on my body and ive lost 52lbs in a month, now i weigh 5st6lbs and im soo happy! im going to steal more and try and get down to 4st. they really work guys! so all u fat bitches- GET STICKING!!!
keeley: Just completed day two of wearing the patch - cant say i feel any different, but will carry on using it until the weeks over and see if there are results. I'm a size 12, exercise 4x weekly - just curiuous i suppose to see the effects. Still crave food so no change there!
CMc: Just wanted to say that I started my free trial 3 days ago and so far it has done wonders to curb my appetite. I was going to wait until that end of the 6 days before I weigh so I can't report on any weight loss. Another bonus that I'm sure is attributed to a few of the key ingredients is that I started my period 2 days ago and have not had any cramps or low moods which is something that I usually struggle with every month.
km2863: I gained weight while wearing the patch, and I also had immense difficulty convincing the company to abide by their own refund policies. I'm still missing $10 that they claim they don't owe me.
sophie: wo wo wo! I was just going through the sign up process to get my free trial and if you read the small print they automatically send you monthly supplies and take £35 from your account each month! The trial is not worth £25 because its only 6days worth. I think these two things make it seem extremely suspect. I think we should all try a bit of will power to get slim. good luck x
GSB: THIS IS A SCAM - DO NOT DO IT!!!!!! I was courious about this patch and like te rest of you thought what do i have to lose? I ordered the sample pack and recieved it 2 weeks later so this was after the time stipulation on canceling the product. I then noticed the £40.90 taken from my account and that same day I recieved my 1 months supply. Confused I called the company and spoke to a girl called Charley Shelley. As I was not getting anywhere with her I asked to speak with a manager as I was not happy this amount came out in the first place but I did agree to the terms and conditions but only recieved the samaple pack after the 14 day trial period which is not my fault. I was told by Charlie that there was no manager available at the time and was told I would get a call back. I asked for a call back that afternoon as I was at work. As I never recieved the call I decided to call back and was on hold for 20 mins. A girl called Luara answered and as I havd not recieved my call back i asked too speak to a manaer then. At this stage I was getting more and more upset obviously and instead of getting a a manger for me I was told they were all in a meeting and a call would be made the next day to me. I did not accept this as I was promised a call that day and was not given one. I advised I would to speak with a manager and instead of proving customer service and understanding the customer was not happy Laura told me I could not wait on the phone and would trminate the call - which she did. At this I am sure you can appretiate I was furoiuse and called back. Spoke to her again and Laura terminated the call AGAIN. I thought 3rd time lucky and got back through to Charlie Shelley from that morning and she did the samae thing. I am discusted in their service for a start and the only thing I have lost is my patience. If having your money taken wasn't enough I had to speak to two very rude and unhelpful advisers. I just hope this does not happen to anyone else and I hope everyone reads the small print and does not get sucked in. Besides the above I have not used any on the patches - ordered or sample as I am so angry with the company, but I feel a well balanced diet and some excersise is the answer to all you ladys out there. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE AND I HOPE NO ONE HAS TO GO THROUGH WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH. IT IS DISCUSTING HOW I WAS TREATED AND I WILL BE MAKING A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO THEM AND THE CITIZENS ADVISE BUREAU.
MAC: GSB, as with any product you order online there will always be fine print. It clearly says that you will be billed monthly if you do not cancel the order within a certain time period. Your original order would have already be taken out. I had no problems at all cancelling the "monthly" terms and now just simply order at my own will whenever I need/want to. I've been taking this product for 6 weeks now, and LOVE it! It helps with many aspects (including PMS) as well as weight loss. I haven't altered my diet as I should, but have still seen a loss of 5 lbs. I also love that I have more energy without the jitters or heart issues! The only bad thing I've found is that if you do have to take perscription medication, you will have to stop the patch to avoid any type of drug interaction with herbal remedies. Just wise to do. It also takes a few days (3 for me) to really start noticing it working again. I think its a fabulous product and definately recommend it! Just like with several other great past inventions, you will have your doubters. I'm sure at some point in time people thought the telephone was a terrible thing! Lord help 'em now! Ha!
laura: the best thing to do is once u get u r free trial, ring them up or email and ask ur direct debit 2 b cancelled and then if the patch works 4 u, order a new pack - simple. it does help to read the small print tho! i have 2 say when i telephoned the company they were very helpful and i have been on the pink patch for 3 days, doin my normal exercise and normal diet (not strict but not too many sweeties either) and i have lost 2 lb already. i do feel bloated after i eat but i think that is the effect because i feel full all the time. i agree tho that there is not enough info with the pack sent to you tho.
soo: im on day 3 cant say ive lost a lot yet but the cravings have gone which makes me feel a whole lot better!! and just for the record Im 53 !! side effects so far very thirsty and slightly light headed. will update you all good luck!!
dani: Im on day two and i still feel no different. I am still eating as much as i used to and the hunger pangs are not going away! Its only day two tho so i am sticking to it untill my patches are gone to see if this really does work. I suppose everybody gets different effects for their bodys and lifestyles. And just to say to Fanoire, you are far too young to be taking these patches, it says yo have to be at least 18 years of age. And im pretty sure putting 10 on your body would not make much of a difference to putting one on. It could even be dangerous especially at the ag you are. Dont be so ridiculous to try and make yourself 4st. Its very unheathy!!
tob: i ordered i free trial of the patch and was very dissapointed with the out come.IT MADE ABSOLUTLEY NO DIFFERENCE TO ANYTHING!IT DID NOT CURB MY NITHER HELP WITH LATE LOSS. VERY DISAPPOINTING
Nins: hey guys i've just been reading alot of your angry comments about paying for more patches after the sample, well I've just ordered mine off ebay where this wont happen plus they are cheaper. Just thought i'd share a little light on the situation. hope you all have success with it (",)
Lucy: Don't like the idea of giving my bank details to them for a free trial. I'd try a colonic Irrigation for a quick fix, can lose upto half a stone. xx
dani: Dont recommend, was using the patches for the week and found no change in appetite ect. Also started to notice that wherever i was putting the patches, gave me a terrible itch and turned out in a mild rash for a while. Everyone differs so its down to you if you want to try but i know i wouldnt recommend to anyone as i think its justa scam! x
Kate: IF YOU ALL READ THE LETTER PROPERLY YOU WILL NOTICE THEY SEND YOU A MONTHS SUPPLY UNLESS YOU CANCEL WITHIN 14 DAYS. I READ IT ON THEIR WEBSITE AND ON BOTH LETTERS THEY SEND SO IF YOU DONT CANCEL WITHIN THOSE DAYS ITS YOUR OWN FAULTS REALLY, ITS NOT AS IF THE PRINT IS THAT SMALL????
JOJO: As someone in the medical profession and with a diploma in nutrition I have to say I agree with the people saying a bit of will power but can see the psychological twist that the patch has. Its the placebo effect alot of drug companies take. It surely speaks volumes that there is no FDA approval also. Losing weight is the easy part its maintaining the weight thats the hardest part. Eat a balanced diet and dont deny yourself anything, Try to cut down and lost weight at a steady pace. When you crash diet your body panics and stores fat thinking you are depriving it of nutrients. Aim for 4-7lbs weight loss per week for the first few weeks it will gradually slow to 2-5lbs but this means you are more likely to maintain the desired look. If you want to speed up your metabolism look at foods that do that or take the herbal supplement that suits you best. Try drinking lemon juice in hot water before breakfast give your body a boost and never skip breakfast. Drink green tea that helps break down the antioxdants in your body eliminating excess water. Eat foods and take supplements that aid digestion eg acidophilus. Its all about moderation. PINK PATCH???? Everyone is different I dont think its the patch if this thing really worked you should be able to eat all the junk in the world and still loose weight WONT HAPPEN LADIES sorry no quick fix for a bit of FAT!
OptimisticPessimist: Heres a novel idea..... LOSE 5lbs in 1 hour!!!!!! CUT OFF AN ARM!!!
maria: i use to eat a big bar of chocolate a night but since wearing the pink patch a bar lasts me a 2 weeks or more ITS BRILLIENT
suyoung: it didn't do anything for me. good luck to the others
michelle: i hope this patch works,im gonna try it,cos i sent for a trial pack,then got a months supply,without been informed. i think its just yet another useless weight lose product to get money out of use all. if your gonna apply for a trial run,be carefull!
Sally: It is fantastic...i have definitely noticed a difference in appetite...usually when im dieting i tend to THINK about the food im not having but now ive completely forgotten about snacking etc! ''Youre all clueless''...you have completely missed the point. You say that everyone who hasnt the willpower shouldnt try this because it wont make a difference. Um....actually it will?! I am clearly not claiming that this patch works for every individual but the point is it is a appetite suppresor and therefore will curb your need to snack etc. You say that we should all go and ''do some exercise''...medically that is not a straight forward solution to losing weight...exercising will only properly work if you exercise with a calorie controlled diet. And this patch enables you to control your diet.
Jamie: I agree with those who are saying it's likely a placebo. The placebo effect is very great and probably does more than any of these "natural" ingredients in the patch. (Remember--strychnine is all-natural too! Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean it's good for you.) If appetite suppression is really that big a deal, try drinking Yerba Mate tea instead of absorbing the Yerba Mate through your skin, since this product claims that it utilizes Yerba Mate to suppress your appetite. You'll probably get a higher "dose" of Yerba Mate without putting on this placebo-patch or getting tricked into an automatic subscription. You'll also get all the benefits of Yerba Mate tea--the antioxidants, the better digestion, etc. It reminds me of my friend when she got married--the few days before her wedding she started taking tons of diuretics in order to fit into her dress, and then was too sick to enjoy her honeymoon. If this product makes you lose weight at all, it's probably water weight--the weight that NORMALLY fluctuates depending on how hydrated you are. Don't be fooled--especially since, as noted above, flaxseed oil can interfere with oral contraceptives. Trust me, a baby will NOT help you lose weight!
debbie : this product did absoloutely nothing for me!! a total waste of money!! i got the free sample then automatically recieved a months supply,which i was gutted about because i already knew by then they were rubbish!!
Ann Thompson: This company was informed I had not ordered ANY item from them yet proceeded to charge me for a free trail?? then 2 weeks later I received a large envelope with pink patches in then and was cahrged over £40. Have only received back £36. BE warned. By the way I am one of those people who do not need to lose weight as I am 7stone wwringing wet. Ann Thompson
Edyta: This is a SCAM SCAM SCAM!!! I ordered a sample and they used my card to take £40 without authorisation a few weeks later!
jenna: I have just ordered my free trial and after reading people's posts regarding canellation of the pink patch, could someone who has ordered the pink patch explain the process for cancellation along with the appropraite contact details?? Many thanks
sue: I ordered my free trial which came straight away. Cant say I see or feel any different but I WAS willing to give it a try for one month - however I cant get hold of the office to cancel my order. Listened to their repeated message for 16mins today and again for another 10mins - so beware when putting in bank details - you may not beable to get them to cancel it. Anyone else had similar problem.
Emz: DOOOO NNNOOOOTTT BUUYYY!!!

weightobsessed101: I bought into it...and the first few days I felt awful. I guess that was the 'appetite supressant' part. Totally bloated.

Meera: Lindsey, call the toll free number that is 1-866-468-3300 and after the will send you a confirmation e-mail.
Tulip Mazumdar: Hello there - I'm the health reporter for BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat and I'm looking into this Pink Patch for a report I'm doing on diets. Need to speak to a few people who've been on it and had good or bad experiences with it. Be great to hear from you. tulip.mazumdar@bbc.co.uk or search facebook for tulip mazumdar and send me a msg. Cheers!
Emily: Hey, does anyone know what the email address is to cancel the membership? Thanks
Courtney: I was checking out the Pink Patch website. It says on the bottom it is not available to CA residents, it has not been approved by the FDA, and if you click on the "Contact us" link, it clearly says they will not refund your shipping and handling costs, and that products marked "RETURN TO SENDER" are not eligible for refunds. (read the fine print ladies) I just ordered my trial last week, but have not received it yet. I am calling tomorrow to cancel my month supply, so I can order on my own terms. Does anybody know how this will react with birth control? I'm not sexually active, but I use b.c. for acne and cramps.
lin: Hi, I agree with the theory that the only way to lose weight is to retrain your old habits. I lost 6 stones in 6 months by cutting out fats and eating more fruit and veg. however, the fact that you purchase the patches in the beginning means you have made a decision to do something about the excess weight, right or wrong if this product helps then its psychological but sometimes you just need that extra buzz to get you started. I don't agree with the continuation of the product unless requested by you and to charge your account after the trial period suggests an unscrupulous company are selling these products... as suggested in an earlier post, try e-bay. No long term commitment there. Good luck to you all on your quest to be slimmer !
YIKES!!!: I was thinking about giving this a try, but after reading the comments---I think I'll stick to the old fashion way---Eating healthy and Exercising...
anna: it actually works mine came today and it only took two days to come its brillant may be a scam..but a good scam! use it girls. i have my dream body now
kaayslaay: okay what is going on with this website that no one can spell any words right? its making me think this whole thing is a scam. There is a misspelled word in just about every post. GO TO SCHOOL PEOPLE.
fellinggood : Actually it really works!! Of course all diets are the same if you stop doing them and go back top your old habits, of course you will gain your weight back!!duh, i did it for 3month and it work i lost about 20 pounds, i stop doing them after my wedding (finance issues) and i still work out and eat right, So to all my chunky ladies, try it you will see!!! luv ya!!!!
ash: I got the free trial and nothing changed. My skin got all irritated where it was and didnt loose a single pound! ITS A SCAM!!!! Come to find out I "supposedly" signed up for a month to month membership. When I called to cancel they told me to send it back and I would be refunded in FULL regardless of their policy because I had never received the letter stating about the membership (the Pink Letter). Wrong... they didn't refund my shipping and handling. Not to mention they hung up on me too!! I advise everyone that before they sign up to get something for "FREE" that they read very carefully every single word. Because the only thing Ive lost in my money and my patience!
pop: Just so everyone knows, losing 3-4lbs in the first couple of days is exciting in itself. However that wight is mostly water weight and it doesn't reflect hardly any actual weight loss. If you even read down this far haha, but if you keep eating healthy the weight you lose will be a reflection of actual weight loss. Go you!
curious: Hey all, I just got my free sample today and after skimming through everyone's comments i am not sure if i want to try it anymore. Anyhow, my problem is just with my stomach after my kids my stomach turned into a gut. My sister says i have a tire around my waist. (not funny to me!) which is why i want to know has the patch helped anybody with belly fat? Thats my only problem i try to do crunches but i don't see a change. The aid says it targets problem areas has this been true for anybody?
Fran: Give it a go for Gods sake!!!! Theres no harm in trying it - you can buy these on Ebay - so you dont need to sign up giving your bank account details like you have to on the pink patch wbesite! EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT - SO STOP SLAGGIN OFF EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO TRY IT!
Suz: It didnt work for me...so DONT bother wasting your money. If it works theyw ould have sold it in some decent shops not just ONLINE. save urself some money
Suz: It didnt work for me...so DONT bother wasting your money. If it works theyw ould have sold it in some decent shops not just ONLINE. save urself some money
santiago: I GUESS... AFTER READING ALL OF THIS MAKES ME NOT WANT TO BUY IT. SOME ADVISE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DO PURCHASE IT. USE YOUR DEBIT CARD AND ONCE IT'S CHARGED ONCE CANCEL AND ORDER A NEW ONE ... SAVE YOUR SELF SOME PROBLEMS.....
Kelly van She: I've was looking into signing up for the Pink Patch free trial before I saw all of the above comments concerning the automatic payments for the following month's supply, but I'm still intrigued by the product. Lots of people seem to be reporting back weight losses of around 3-4 lbs in the first few days, but weight tends to naturally fluctuate by these sort of amounts anyway. I was just wondering whether many people who have actually completed the month (or longer) have experienced further steady weightloss? And whether they would recommend it?
Gabby: I would not let the automatic payments put you off, they can be cancelled. I have read that a lot of people are angry about this but they do tell you on the website, it just shows how important it is to read things properly first. I ordered my free trial and sent them an email stopping the subscription straight after. I got my trial and i have had no subscription problems.
HelsBels: I started these as my friend ordered a pack so we halved these I have been on these now for almost 2 weeks. Bit sceptical at first but within a day or two I noticed the reduction in appetite as working in office I found myself getting into the habit of sitting at my desk snacking...... no longer I may add. I dont feel half as hungry as I used to. I have lost a bit of flab. I dont do scales i judge weight loss thru the way my clothes fit me. I havent had the usual lethargic and jittery feeling you get when you dont eat enough and need to run for the nearest choccie biscuit or Mars Bar to give you that sugar rush before you pass out. Now because i it has been 2 weeks I think my stomach may have shrunk slightly. On Sat evening I ordered a pizza with my friend had two slices and felt full not finishing my food a problem i have never had in the past, this is something I am noticing more and more.....less I eat, the less I am able to eat - dont know if this makes sense. I am genuine customer and I have read these posts with all the different comments all I can say Psychological or not everyone is different. This might not work for some but it has done for me. I feel great if your open minded give them a try... nothing to lose.
samantha tate: how do you cancel the pink patch its easy to get but hard to cancel on line
Naomi: why does the girl in te picture have bones sticking out????
Clare: Hi there, i tried the pink patch and really regret it :-( but i suffered from really bad stomach aches and feeling of wanting to be sick all the time.. plus i was visting the loo 3-4times a day :-S did anyone else exprience anything like this? x
Lindsey: Kaayslaay(aka idiot): in reponse to your comment all I can say is that you are a muppet, it's mispelt not mispelled - get a life love!! Wish anyone trying this the best of luck, but be careful with bank details. If your really worried ring the bank and cancel your debit card.
michaela: does anyone know how to cancel pink patch?
MissT: It is easy to cancell online, I just did and they have sent me confirmation too. As for the patches, its still early days as I'm only in my second day of using it. I must say though that they do make me feel a bit like when I was taking NowSlim, which made me lose weight, but made me feel sick so I stopped. With the patches I do feel warmer and more energetic if nothing else. I will see if I lose weight first before I order for real. My advice to anyone wishing to try patch, Make sure you don't have high blood pressure or are taking other medication. Good luck all!
dolfnfrk: When reading all the comments I guess thats why I can't get them in California. California might suck at times but at least they don't let us try stupid things that harm us.
jane maloney: I had the trial pack and felt a boost in my energy levels and general happiness, also after 1 week I lost weight, I dont own scales so I dont know how much, but it is visible.. had a week off them and felt really down, bit worrying...then my monthly supply came and im back on them feeling ace, just been shopping and bought a size down, honestly, i have got a lot to lose though 4 stone ish so maybe it comes off quicker when you are very overweight, im 39 years old, and other than the worry they may be addictive, i am over the moon with them..janey x
Derek Law: REMOVE MY NAME?ADDRESS FROM YOUR LISTS
Nicky: Called Customer Service today and it took 4 minutes for them to answer the phone, but I think I did manage to cancel my subscription, even though I did e-mail them 2 days ago and still no reply. I think the best thing to do when cancelling is to call and get a name of who you spoke to. I spoke to Sharn (I know that the spelling is wrong) today, but only time will tell if this has worked....
LOCKS: DONT DO IT, ITS A TOTAL CON, TRIED IT 4 A MONTH, EXCERCISE EVERY DAY AND LOST NOTHING. DO NOT BE CONNED. JOIN WEIGHTWATCHERS, IT COSTS LESS AND HELPS MORE.
SJ: I am into the second week of using the Pink Patch and I am delighted with the results...I am a qualified Clinical Nutritionist and feel that as with all so called "fads" the results differ from each individual...what suits one might not suit another...we all know that healthy eating and regular exercise are the key to achieving our goals..but a helping hand and an extra boost in energy must surely be a bonus!
PH: I haven't tried it, but i am planning to. I think that it does different things for different people. Like your weight for example. If you do take it, i think you should eat more healthier, it might give you a weight loss boost :] Good luck, ladiess
rs: im on to the second months subscription and i have noticed a difference i dont know how much weight because i dont have scales but i can definately tell by my clothes i have also noticed that when i eat whatever it is i cant manage the old portion sizes i used to have i know everyone is different but it is working for me so far even my mood is better
Billie: This product is fantastic. I have been overweight scince I was 17 and now at 21 I look and feel great! The PP helped me control what I ate and I saw a noticable difference within days - just try it!
Helen: not tried it yet. hope i dont get busted!! ..hopefully it works. i just need to lose 1 stone.
kristen: Can someone tell me how long you're supposed to keep a patch on for and where to put it? I just bought them off ebay and i want to try them asap! thanks
CAROLINE LOUISE STEVENS: Kristen, Just pop it at the top of your arm and leave it on for 24 hours. Good Luck!!
Vicky UK: I have been on the Pink Patch for 6 weeks now and I have lost 12 lbs!!!!! I am amazed but IT REALY WORKS!!! it has also helped me with my PMS and has stopped my pre-menstrual spots! and I feel good too!!! So good I have decided to take up Pole Dancing!!!!...and I am 40 YEARS OF AGE!!!
kate: DO NOT DO IT! They continue to keep sending it and taking the money from your bank. I've had to cancel my card to stop it and the stupid thing doesn't work anyway!
zook: I tried it and lost nearly a stone in about 5 weeks. Might just be a mental thing but hey, you pay more for a gym that you don't end up using :)
k: I am on my 2nd day and feel real bad, tired, metal taste in my mouth and nausea. I think if I don't feel better by tomorrow this will be my 2nd and last day!!! BTW - I think I feel hungrier.
Val : I just started using the patch this week! So far I'm satisfied! I'm not going to say its a wonder drug or anything but I have noticed a difference in my appetite.. When I eat its like I don't really "care" and I know when to stop eating! I also noticed a difference in my over all mood.. Its almost like it gets in your head and makes you feel good about yourself!! If this keeps up I'm going to be a regular patch girl!!
Jen: Does anyone have their e-mail address so that i can cancel please? Thanks
Mj: customercare@thepinkpatch.com
Vikki: Don't know if this is a coincidence or not but I loved the pink patch and lost a lot of weight with it then. After a couple of months I got a boil in my ear canal - never had anything like before ever!! Then I had a bleeding ovarian cyst - again never had anything like that before. Then found out through a friend about someone else who had been on pink patches for a couple of months and had a ruptured ovarian cyst! Coincedence? Feel a bit scared to use them again. Has anyone else had any side effects?
Lis: I got the free trial, and emailed them to cancel the subscription. I got an email back saying it had been cancelled and another shipment would not be sent. 2 days later, I got an email saying my month's supply has been shipped. I can't afford this, and now I can't afford my rent this month.
jane maloney: hi again, im 3 weeks in to the patch and have noticed that my appetite has remained reduced..good! however when i do eat i feel very bloated and a bit uncomfortable, but i think well this will reduce my portion size so i think its a good thing and am planning to continue for a while longer, keep u posted, janey x
Maggie: I think anybody interested in the Pink Patch sould read the review that was done by scientists at thebeauty brains web site : http://thebeautybrains.com/2008/03/12/does-the-pink-patch-weight-loss-patch-really-work/ It answers any questions with regards to it's working or not!
Amy: I don't know if it's working or not... my weight always varies about 5 lbs. ... and last 6 days I have taken this I haven't felt different, and my weight has done anything out of the ordinary.. maybe it takes more than 6 days for something to happen???
kayleigh: i got the free trial, as it only cost a few pounds. but nothing seemed to happen. i tried numerous ways to cancel it but had no luck, it is not advertised well at all. my opinion is not to try it, as soon as u go off it your appetite will just go back to normal and you will put the weight straight back on. dont try it!
hethmar: Well, it must be a scam mustnt it - no such thing as a miracle patch, but if the placebo helps people ..... I have larfed at some of the spoof comments on here - keep them up. But I would say just self control doesnt always work as you get older and are not fit enough to exercise and some people need a mental boost. Good luck to you all :)
louise jones: Some people have had good luck with these other not. Its like everything some things work for people others dont. What i would recomemend if you are going to buy this product do not buy it from the pink patch due to their scams but a month supply can be picked up at over £12 less on ebay. Have a look before you part with your hard earned cash!
Johnny Allan: If this product really works. Obesity will become a thing of the past (I won't hold my breath). The only winners here are the parasites who sell this rubbish at the expense of the mugs and vulnerable people who actually believe it will work. These scum must be laughing all the way to the bank. There should be laws to prevent with this sort of exploitation.
Phoebe: What the ! u are all sayin different things..does it actually work or not!
n/a: think what you wanna think some people it does work some it dont also it states clearly in the terms an conditions what you have to do an what happens so its your choice if you read the to be quite honest
Louise Murphy: I tried the Pink Patch & I've not lost any weight at all. It has actually made me feel extremely ill & have been experiencing dizziness & nausea. The Pink Patch doesn't curb your cravings - it simply makes you feel so ill that you cannot eat. I DO NOT recommend this product!!!!
B: Have none of you seen requiem for a dream, the reports that it lifts your mood are very worrying to me.
Janice Bunting: I agree with GSB - this is a scam and I cannot get my money back even though they promise a refund if you return the patches. DO NOT TOUCH - ABSOLUTE RUBBISH - NO CUSTOMER SERVICE - NO NOTHING!
hazel: Hi there, I have just finished my first month of the pink patch and I have managed to lose on average 3-4 pounds a week. It really does work and I am going to carry on using it till I reach my goal weight.
Michelle: I tried the free sample and thankfully read the fine print so was able to cancel it before they charged me for a month's supply. I definitely didn't lose any wait and rather than feeling in a great mood I felt utterly depressed from the day that I started wearing it. I noticed that in the mornings I woke up feeling fine, but shortly after getting to work (about an hour after putting on a new patch) I started feeling very low and depressed and that feeling lasted the whole day. I am now no longer wearing the pink patch and once again feel my normal self.

Hobgoblin: Some of you may be losing weight, but what you aren't doing is considering the effects that this drug is having on your body. Did you know that it is not actually legalised, and do you know all the other hiden ingrediants with in this patch that are potentially harmful? Stop being such suckers for a gimmic, get up - do some activity and eat less fat! You will put the weight on as soon as you stop using the patch,..and if you cant stop using it... then I rest my case!!
Greg: Wow the pink patch, what can I say. I'm a sceptic. But if it works. Maybe it's a phycological thing.
Sally B: WARNING - THE PINK PATCH MADE ME ILL! I ordered my free trial of the pink patch. As soon as I recieved it I cancelled so that they would not be able to keep taking money out of my account. Day 1 - could not eat Day 2 - Problems focusing - my sight seemed off balance Day 3 - Neck pain, back
