I personally suffer from regular pain in my stomach so I am always on the lookout for new things that can help this in a discreet manner. The Libra hotties are discreet but if the sticky back stops to work and it falls out of your top it can be awkward explaining to people that it isn't a sanitary pad you don't know how to place properly!! That was the problem for me, the stickiness. I wish the heat and sticky back were stronger. The idea of them and what they do it great though so with some modification I reckon these heat pads would be bought regularly by woman with tummy/back pains and Endometriosis.
Tips: Use your own sticker on the back of them to hold them in place or place a belt over top of your top with one underneath in the same position for extra support! :)
It worked for me, the sticky part is annoying though but it does stay on. I gave this a half because I can't see this being any different from a wheat bag. Sure it can stick but you'll probably have the urge to want to take it off anyway
I was lucky enough to have two samples sent to me a little while back, but hadn't actually tried it till last night. I don't usually get cramps, but yesterday, my cramps lasted all day :( So I figured I'd try out one of my heat patches. It's super easy to apply, although, if you apply it and it doesn't feel tight enough or not positioned properly, please don't take it off and try again. I made this mistake, and it lost most of it's stick. I still managed to get a lot of use out of it, thanks to my tight clothing. Anyway, the heat patch didn't do much for the pain, but there was something so soothing about the warmth on my tummy. I definitely wouldn't call it a heat patch though, it's more like a warm patch. Even though it's not what it makes out to be, I would definitely use it again. It's just soothing! :)
Had a hard time wondering where the heat was at first but didnt realise you had to wait for its gradual heat up, once it done this it was fine and really is an easy product to use. i will be using again
Although at home I would much rather a hot water bottle or wheat bag, I found this amazing for when I get bad cramps at school. They stay in place for hours and stay warm for ages, although I found they take a while to actually warm up. I don't know where I would be without these on school days (or just not at home in general) when I get cramps.
This is the type of product that you expect to stop all cramping and stuff, but it doesn't. They don't get as warm as you'd expect and go cold after a short amount of time. I'd turn to a hot water bottle or wheat bag over this, purely because of the price and its not as effective as its made out to be.
Tips: Use extra tape so they stay in place
I used one the other day and was pleasantly surprised by the heats it reached, I've read the reviews others have made saying it wasn't that effective but found it was effective enough for on the go heat therapy. I found it maintained a level of heat for a long period of time and used a little bit of medical tape to keep it on as it started to lose slight stickiness. I would use it again for sure!
Tips: Little bit of medical tape to keep it sticky is a really good idea and consider placement for comfort by sitting down with it in positions before removing the sticky pads as it doesn't bend a heck of a lot so comfort wise can be a little awkward.
I get bed cramps leading up to my period and I normaly just use pain killers to take care of pain , I found that the hotties worked a little bit but not a lot for me .
Tips: If you get mild cramps then they would probly work a lot better for you than me . :)
I founds these okay and great for if you experienced period pain whilst at work. They are discreet and do help with the pain.
They are not as good as a good old hot water bottle or wheat bag, but for discreetness out in public, I am quite happy with them.
They did come unstuck quite easily, but at the same time I would be hesitant to make them stickier (for allergy reasons). You just have to get it on the right place the first time! Do be aware I find if you use them more than twice in a row, you may have a reaction to the adhesive, as with what happened with me. Just give it a day or so in between uses so as to not irritate your skin!
The most important thing is that they helped - even if just a little bit! I mainly use them for sleeping - if I can get a restful nights sleep then I can conquer anything! Also note these are great for any other abdominal pain besides just period pain - eg. IBS episodes, stomache bugs or abdominal migraines can also benefit from these!
Tips: Great for at work or outside of the house. Also great for anyone with any other abdominal issues.
