I was given these by my sister after she found that they didn't work for her and they didn't really work for me either. I really like the idea but I don't think they did anything for my stomach cramps and it just felt a bit awkward, like I had a pad on my tummy haha, which also pulled out the little hairs there once I had finished using it. I feel like it might work for girls that have really bad stomach cramps but it just wasn't for me

I get horrible period pain, and this is sooo good, really expensive though, it think it was $7? And they only include 2 so they aren't very cheap but great when on the run or need quick pain relief, and heats up fast, doesn't get too hot and nice when you are really sore!
Tips: Make sure you aren't too rough with it, because it would tear and its not nice when it does tear (experienced myself) I think they should make them a bit sturdier, but overall great :)
I don't need these for the 'intended' use but for pulled muscles. The idea behind them is great, but I found they didn't give the right heat for me and what I needed. And only having 2 in a pack for at least $5 isn't very ideal as more would be needed! Will stick to a good ole fashioned wheatie bag instead, which is also reusable.
Tips: Keep them in the car, nappy bag or first aid kit for times of need when you are away from home.
I really like the Heat patches! I have endo and I get really bad pains every time i get a period. I love that I can wear it out of the house.because as a busy mum staying at home when its that time of the month just to have my hottie just can't be done. although they could make them a little hotter
Tips: keep up with the panadol every 4 hrs
I was so keen to try these when I first saw them in the super market, but found them to be such a let down when I got around to trying them. Being a "little larger" I found it really hard to get it to stick down and hand to end up pulling my underwear up to get it to stick down under the band of my undies (so uncomfortable!). Its also not long enough so did't cover the whole area I would have hoped it did. On the plus side, it did hold its heat for a really long time which was nice :)
I had a sample from the libra website once but it didnt do anything for me and I think you have to be sitting at all times when wearing this so the patch actually stays on the place you want it to.. I found that the patch came away from the tummy when I moved around.. But if I sat or lay down it would be okay.. Wouldnt buy these though I'd just use my heatpack
I was quite excited to try these, but they were quite a disappointment. They didn't get really warm, and the adhesive was so super sticky that it really hurt to remove!!
Got these thinking they would be fantastic as all the packaging and adverts say they wilol help with period pain. I was dissapointeed, they didn't warm up and didn't do what they suggested at all.
Maybe I used them wrong, but not sure how you can get it wrong?
I had a very sore neck for a couple of days caused by stress. I put it on at 6.00pm and it my neck was feeling a lot better by the time I went to bed. It was so warm! I will defiantly be using it again. It didn't stick to well to the back of my neck, so I used a scarf to hold it there.
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.
