Libra Hotties Heat Patches Review

At first I thought these were a fantastic idea, portable heat so I do not need to carry a hot water bottle or wheat bag around without letting the whole world it was "that time of the month"... The idea was great but the heat does not last therefore does not give relief for a long period of time. Another down side is that they do not stick very well, I resorted to taping it with medical tape. They are good if you are desperate for some portable heat relief like I am as I suffer from very painful cramps but if a better heat patch was released, I would try that

I like this for when I'm out and about it is a bit if a placebo however I love it when in desperate slap it on with a face mask and have a glass of wine and some choc and a good movie

I dont think this product is all that bad... its definitely a solution to an age old problem... it does heat up a bit more than your body temp and i do believe it provides enough to get your period pains to soothe abit...I would recommend it to anyone who suffers from terrible cramps and i do believe if given a chance it can really help.. It may not be the best product in the world but for $4.99 ... shouldnt be expecting more than what it gives..

They were ok. I initially used them taped below my stomach but it's not quite the deep heat I needed as my cramps are pretty bad. They take a long time to heat up, but they do stay in place pretty well. I actually use them more on my back during the first 2 days. Even my partner (male) asked me to put one on his back for him. He thinks it was just ok too.

I was so excited to try these... But they didn't live up to my expectations! They didn't really get hot enough for me. But i did like that i could wear it at school... Rather than carry around a hot water bottle! And no one could tell. It was better than having no heat on my stomach during school hours.

Let's be honest here, nothing beats a hot water bottle or a wheat bag. The hotties didn't have enough heat to make a big difference nor were they big enough for the target area (lower abdomen aka where most period pain is). The one saving factor for these is that it's inconspicuous under clothing, meaning it can be worn under clothes for school or work, which is much easier and more comfortable than carrying the aforementioned hot water bottle or wheat bag. So basically yeah I would buy it again but if you're having immense period pain I wouldn't recommend this.

I saw these in the supermarket and thought 'YES!'. I don't have to walk around with a wheat bag or hot water bottle anymore. I can discreetly treat cramps with heat (which is really the only thing that relieves the pain) without advertising the fact I'm going through my cycle. Unfortunately, while these are a great idea, the heat doesn't treat my cramps for that long. Seems my body gets used to the heat quickly so it becomes less effective. And the adhesive is a little painful to remove.

I liked these patches, it was really nice to have a direct source of heat where I wanted it. It also gave me a bit more freedom to walk around and carry on as usual instead of having to sit there with a wheat bag or hot water bottle. I liked this product but I would probably not purchase them often as they are expensive.

These were very easy to use. Warmed up very quickly. A very low heat. I did seem to forget I had the Hottie on though. If I lightly pressed it against my skin I did notice the warmth. I would use them again, not sure though if would relieve too many aches and pains. Don't try to remove them and put them on again, the sticky doesn't last very well.

I have an active job where I have very little time to sit down so I saw these as a good alternative as I can't walk around clutching a hot water bottle. On the upside, they are discrete, so no-one need know you're suffering during that time of the month. I put mine on my lower back and I could tell straight away that the sticking power wasn't the best. I had some medical adhesive tape so I used that to adhere the patch to my skin and it stayed in place for approx 8 hours with no issues. The heat was not enough to relieve my pain per se, although it was more of a reassuring heat, like a warm hug :) I wound buy these again in a pinch when my pains were bad and I had to go to work. They may be very helpful for young girls just starting their monthly, as it is a comforting product.
