5 Reasons Toenail Fungus Hangs Around (No Matter What You Paint On It)
It's not that you didn't try hard enough. Here are the five things that keep it there. You'll probably spot at least three.
If you've got a thick, yellow toenail and no idea where it came from, you're not the only one. And it isn't going away on its own. It keeps spreading and getting thicker.
The treatment stayed on top of the nail
You've painted on the treatments from the chemist, week after week. And nothing changed.
That's because they dry on top of the nail, like varnish. So they can't soak through the nail plate to the fungus sat underneath.
The nail is tough. It's built to keep things out. So the fungus stays right where it was, safe underneath.
And even when something could get down there, there's a second problem.
Nothing stayed on long enough
A cream is on your sock within minutes. A foot soak lasts as long as you sit there.
To soak down under a toenail takes hours. And not once. Night after night.
Nothing in the cupboard stays on that long.
Then there's the promise on the box.
You were told it would be quick
Nothing clears a nail in a month, whatever the box promised. A toenail only grows about a millimetre a month. So you need something easy enough to keep up with for at least four months.
So the new, clear nail has to grow all the way up and out. Stop as soon as the colour looks better, and whatever's left under the old nail is still there.
Which is why the next one catches almost everyone.
You've been waiting for the right time
Your feet are back in boots. The fungus hasn't gone anywhere.
So you've probably pushed it on to next year. Most people do.
But that's exactly why now's the best time to start, while your feet are covered up anyway. So next summer, you're the one walking straight into the pool.
And the way most of us cover them up makes it worse.
You've been keeping it hidden
Trainers on all day. Socks on at home. Never bare feet, not even by the pool.
But fungus loves warm, dark and damp. So hiding it gives it the best conditions it could ask for.
And it costs you too. Sitting out while everyone else swims.
So what can you actually do?
Look back at that list. Anything that's going to work has to do three things.
- Reach the fungus under the nail, not dry on top of it
- Stay on for hours, not minutes
- Be something that takes no effort, so you keep it up for at least four months
That's what the overnight patch from the video is made for.
Each patch has a medical-grade adhesive that seals it on for hours overnight.
So the active ingredients get the time to soak right down to the root of the infection. Not a coat that dries on top and sits there.
All you do is put one on before bed. No filing, no brush, no waiting for it to dry.
After a couple of weeks, many people notice clear nail coming through at the base. Then it carries on improving across about four months, until the nail's grown out healthy, just in time for next summer.

Questions people ask
How do I use them?
Clean and dry the nail, put one patch on before bed, and peel it off in the morning. That's it.
Will it stay on all night?
That's what it's made for. The medical-grade adhesive seals it on for hours overnight, and it's thin enough to sit under a sock.
How long before I see a difference?
Many people see clear nail coming through at the base after a couple of weeks. But a toenail only grows about a millimetre a month, so it takes months to grow out. Best results come in four to six months. Results vary.
Can I do more than one nail?
Yes. Use one patch on each nail that needs it.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once, and that's it.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You're covered by the 90-day money-back guarantee. If it hasn't worked after 90 days, email us and you get your money back.
Should anyone check with a doctor first?
Yes. If you're diabetic, have poor circulation or a weak immune system, or the nail is painful, red or spreading to the skin, see your GP or a pharmacist first.
