Libra Hotties Heat Patches Review

So I received a free sample to try and am left pretty underwhelmed.

I found that the heat doesn’t really target your pain very well and didn’t last very long. The patches itself don’t stick very well either. The patch basically remains very warm, it doesn’t heat up as much as the packaging indicates

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

I have been using this product today, I put it on at 7am and have taken it off at 1pm during this time the adhesive has caused bright red welts across my skin.

the heat is very low-I would rather use a wheat bag.

the packaging of product is good, bright colours but the actual product looks like a giant sanitary pad..

I really feel this product didn't heat up enough and I had to push on the product to actually feel the heat

I absolutely love these. Perfect soothing cramps in public when you can't have a wheat bag. Stayed warm for hours.

i suffer from endometriosis and am quite often in excruciating pain because of this which isnt always great when im at work. these packs didnt completely take away the pain combined with pain relief but they did help more than i had hoped. i think they could be a little bit hotter but thats just my opinion i like my hottie really hot to help my cramps. definitely helps me get through the day though

I love these heatpads a little too much. While I would prefer just to use a reheatable bag, if I'm out and about, these are my go-to. I've never had any problems sticking them to my belly, but control top tights made them feel much more secure. They stay hot for a long time too!

I suffer from endo. and struggle some days to even sit, I've tried heat bags and water bottles but NOTHING works as good as these. I use them around 2 weeks out of each month, It always takes the edge off or at-lest gives me some form of relief. Id highly recommend any woman that gets cramps small or big and wants at the least a bit of comfort. These are easy to use, stay in place, and are perfect for on the go as they are very discrete. Id love if they would make them in bigger packs and make the product longer though.

I love these! I used to get really bad period pain and as I hate taking paracetamol and things like that I had to try something new. These are really great. You just open the packet, peel off the tabs and stick it on whichever part of you is sore. The pads heat up themselves and try literally do last for hours! I used to use these for my shoulder at work when I started to ache and it really helped

I tried these recently because i get really bad period pains during the day but not anymore just attach one of these and off i go period pains be gone for the day love them also keeps you snuggly when its cold to :P

I had heard a few things about this here and there in the BR Forums and around the place, and so when I found them at Countdown for $5ish dollars and I couldn't wait to get my period (who says that!?!) to use them.

I didn't really read the box when I bought so I was disappointed to see only two foil packets. Finally the big red day came and with it the mother of all cramps. I was almost bed ridden but then I remembered I had these things so I dragged my broken body into the bathroom to get one. I ripped open the packaging and as I pulled off the sticky labels off I read the packet.

The sticky patch is, ironically, pad shaped. It's mostly a big square of black under the white protective fabric and two sticky wings on each end. The paper on the sticky's was hard to get off and I ended up ripping the paper several times before getting it off fully. The hot pad heats up in the natural air, and even after all of this I felt no warmth coming off of the heat pad. I stuck it to myself anyway and hoped for the best.

An hour later, I still couldn't feel any heat coming from the hot pad. I carefully pulled the sticky's off, which was mildly uncomfortable in its own, but the pain took my mind off the cramp briefly. I kept it in my pocket but it didn't get any hotter than lukewarm. My cramp required something a bit more than lukewarm, but I don't think I got a dud. I wouldn't buy these again, and I hate to be a hater but I found these absolutely useless.
