not quite convinced

I found these quiet weird. They don't feel warm at first but gradually heat up. I also found the sticky stuff was too sticky and hurts when being removed. I also tried using them as a heat pack for my back during labour but didn't find they made much difference :(

Tips: Don't use on areas with lots of hair as the sticky stuff is really sticky and hurts when removing.

Good for on the go!

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.

Doesn't get hot enough for me :(

I had heard a lot about similar products in the past, and as soon as I saw these advertised in a group I'm a member of I knew I had to try them. At $3.99 for 2 they are a really reasonable price. The only thing that has really disappointed me is that they don't get hot enough for my liking.

Tips: Make sure you stretch it out as much as you can before applying. You can't reposition once applied, and if you don't put them on right they can be a wee bit annoying.

Bit over priced

Good for lower back pain and really warm and comforting in winter, but I feel like I've seen similar products in the past for cheaper. I hate that it looks like your sanitary pad has ridden up your back I think they should change the fabric.

Tips: If you can use a heat pack it's a lot cheaper

Lukewarm

The concept of these patches is great. They are discrete and you can go about your daily business without having to carry round a wheat bag or hot water bottle.

Unfortunately though it didn't really work for me. It doesn't seem to stick that well and kept slipping around until I taped it down. It also took a long time to heat up, and then it just wasn't hot enough for me to relieve any pain or cramps. It felt better if I pressed down on it, but then it kind of defeats the purpose.

I also don't like the design - it looks like a sanitary pad so it looks a bit odd if it is visible (e.g. on shoulders). It is also quite small so would only work on a small specific area.

Tips: Taping down the pad with first aid tape helps it stay in place

Great Concept, Poor Execution

As somebody who constantly carries a hot water bottle during "that time of the month," I was super excited to try these heat patches.

They are much more discrete than a hot water bottle, but that's where my happy experience ends.

They don't heat up as hot as I'd like, though I guess it would be hard to actually heat it up to suit everybody's preferences.

It doesn't hurt to take it off either, which is also nice. And the warmth stay for a while

Tips: Be sure you're putting it exactly where you want it... you can't remove it. Be aware of your lumps n bumps as well or it'll be an uncomfortable experience.

Meh.

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

Bit of a let down

I had such high hopes for this product as it such a cool concept. I mean who doesn't love the idea of on the go cramp help. But the heat was barely noticeable on me and did not last anywhere as long as I thought that it would. I would say give it a go for anyone who does experience period cramps or any cramps for that matter as from the ladies I have spoken to it is a real individual thing - works on some and not on others. If in doubt, grab a hot water bottle :)

Good for on the go

I expected more heat, but having it in place did give some comfort and I was able to be at work enjoying some warmth. It's not as if I could be clutching a hot water bottle!

Tips: I used some extra medical tape to hold it in place after I re fastened it.

Libra Hotties Heat Patches Review

I was sent a sample of these a while back and didn't know what to expect when using them, this was the first time I had tried it and I was kind of disappointed. There wasn't much heat from these heat packs and they didn't stick very well. I could barely feel the heat and had to continuously keep re position it because the sticky part wore off so quickly. I personally wouldn't buy these for myself but if gifted then I'd probably use them again, the concept of this idea was great but the product itself was not so great.

Yeah the concept is great, but it needs a lot more fine tuning to get the product to the best quality product they can. I like how they can be worn out and they aren't noticeable to other people until its time to reposition cause its falling off lol

I like the concept too but sounds like a little more development need to be put into product
