Icy HotMax Strength Lidocaine Pain Relief Patch (5 Count) Penetrates for Fast, Targeted Relief

Worlds really well for pinched nerve, sore muscles, easy to apply however they do stick to each other when you put them on so be mindful!

I've tried nearly all the patches. When I hit the Icy Hot Max patches I was psyched. There's nothing better than lidocaine and menthol. It's by far the best out there in my opinion. I usually rub the affected area down with Icy Hot Max cream, let it dry then apply the patch. They are sticky, as much as most others. I always tape or wrap the patch so it doesn't accidentally take a break. Good stuff for the cash, it's easy to use and it helps stop the pain, most importantly. I put one on at night and I can still feel 'heat' from it in the morning. I wish they'd make the large patches in Max.

Pretty good patches, they are cooling and mess free. Unlike the actual balm that leaves your skin sticky. Quick and easy to apply. Just doesn’t feel super strong for pain relief. It does ok for about an hour or two, then it loses power

Good for aches and pains cheaper on Amazon than Walmart or pharmacies

They’re a lifesaver and a nice addition to anyone’s first aid. Be mindful of Lidocaine patches, while they are effective, they can cause further skin irritation with uneven use. You’ll need to read the directions for these as they are but a percentage point lower than prescription lidocaine patches, and depending on the individual, your symptoms may be less than worthy of using these for long term use. But for me, I had upper back pain in a particular area and they work well for about 3 hours of use, then kinda fade out over the day. You’re not supposed to use more than 3-4 a day, so i’d go along with that. If after a few hours pain is returning, or it’s in a different area, it’s fine to take the one you have off and cover the prior area and new area, it’s all dependent on how painful it is, for me I was experiencing a numbness and itchiness in that part of my back. The icyhot formula has always worked, but lidocaine is a perfect addition to their standard formula. I’m satisfied to say the least, and a little peeling doesn’t bother me I assure you when the pain is relieved. But with that said, the adhesive is abysmally bad. They really need to work on that. I advise that you take as many fabrics as you can off that may collide with the product. You can also use a little surgical tape to help keep it on if you have some handy. Otherwise, keep pressing.

As much as I tend to avoid writing unfavorable reviews, I want to advise those looking for pain relief that this product may not live up to expectations.I have been experiencing chronic pain, and was anxious to find a product that I believed would be helpful. I researched numerous items, and decided on these Lidocaine patches in hopes of relieving my pain.The patches, unfortunately, are very thin and flimsy, and do not readily adhere to the skin. In fact, they shifted frequently, and would lift and fold over upon themselves, leaving the painful areas untreated. Any movement easily displaced the patches, as they virtually fell off and had to be searched for beneath my clothing.They are only 4% Lidocaine, and the alleged therapeutic benefit is veritably non existent.I'm a registered nurse, and for the price this is a poor quality product.Continue reaearching, as I am, to find something better to resolve your pain.Best of luck!

Good sticking power which is important in using the product to its fullest. Good scent, feels hot. Good deal

Works great, but too expensive
