Where do I stick them?

Outer pyjamas, the duvet corner or cot-side bedding — near the sleeper, never on skin. The vapours do the travelling.

How long does a patch last?

Up to 8 hours — apply at lights-out and it covers the night. One patch per night, then bin it.

Three years and up. For babies, ask us about infant-specific vapour products and saline drops instead.

Product overview

About Olbas Breathe Easy Patches

The Olbas ritual, stuck where it helps all night: peel a patch onto bedding or pyjamas and it releases the classic easy-breathing vapours for up to 8 hours — no oil on skin, no re-dosing at 3am. Suitable for children over 3, which is exactly who they were invented for. 6 patches.

Why patches beat drops at bedtime

Olbas oil on a tissue works until the tissue falls off the pillow. A patch stays put on the pyjama collar or cot-side bedding (never on skin), releasing steadily through the night — the stuffy-toddler parent's quiet victory.

How to use

Stick one patch to outer clothing or bedding near (not on) the sleeper. Lasts up to 8 hours; bin after use. From 3 years.

Good to know

Vapour comfort, not medicine — pair with saline drops for little blocked noses, and see the pharmacist if a child's cold drags on or comes with fever or wheeze.
