These patches are better than some other ones. They are larger inside and they work.

Since moving from the South to the upper Midwest, I've been unable to get my insurance to cover any lidocaine patches. (They'll cover the cream/ointment, just not the patches.) I have back issues due to a few surgeries where they had to cut through everything to completely expose my spine, and having been rear-ended while at a complete stop on numerous occasions. Prior to moving, my insurance paid for the name brand Lidocaine patches. Now that I've moved, they refuse to pay for ANY Lidocaine patches. Although the cream/ointment works well on other body parts, it doesn't provide as much pain relief as the patches. I was beyond thrilled to find an affordable OTC Lidocaine patch!! These patches work just as well as the brand name, prescription Lidocaine patches. They're easy to apply and typically stay on my lower back all day/night. (Plus I don't have to wait 30 minutes for the Lidocaine cream to be absorbed before getting dressed, or allowing anything to touch the treated area.) There's no medicinal smell. As long as I keep my undergarment tucked in, no one even knows that I'm wearing a pain patch. In spite of being a fraction of the price, and don't require a prescription, they relieve pain for 12 hours just like the prescription patches. I highly recommend these lidocaine patches. They're wonderful!!! I'll be buying these patches as long as they remain affordable. If you have chronic pain anywhere below your neck, you should try these patches, just be sure to shave the area before applying the patch if you have more hair than simple peach fuzz.

Very misleading product picture. Although the size of the patch is accurately advertised, the picture of the patch on the person on the box depicted wearing the patch, the patch appears much larger on his body. The patch is advertised as non menthol and unscented but is heavily scented with menthol so that people standing/sitting close to me have mentioned the scent. The patch on skin also feels like menthol, that cool unpleasant feeling I try hard to avoid by buying non menthol patches is present for quite some time after the patch is applied and worn. The ingredients listed on the box do not mention menthol but menthol's easily identifiable scent and people's comments to me lead me to believe there is menthol on these patches. The adhesive on the patch is not very strong, the patch edges easily roll up away from the skin within minutes of applying the patch to any skin surface flat or curved.

Best value for this product I have found. While I do like the fabric-like patches for certain areas because they stay on better, these are comparable to most brands- they are the thick-jelly consistency patches. They provide quick relief and can be cut down to size. The do roll off quite easily with movement or any moisture, but all of the jelly -like ones do. I secure with medical tape as I get the best value for the price with these.

Not oderless

Don't stick well.

Worked great on my foot that had tingling. I did need to tape the patch on as it's not really sticky enough to stay on by itself. But worked great.

The worst brand I've tried and I've tried many. The pain relief part in fine as long as you plan to sit completely still. No odor and they actually relieve pain better than some other brands. However, the minute I move, my clothes roll these up and pull them off just walking around. On one day, I completely lost one - no idea the moment it fell out of my clothes.They work quite well which is why I still gave them 2 stars. However, their lack of adhesion is a significant downfall.
