Libra Hotties Heat Patches Review

These little patches are wonderful, for someone like me who even with painkillers the only thing to tame old aunty flo is a hot water bottle then these patches meant I could stay at work with this little hottie working under my clothes for a good 6 hours at least. $5 was a small price to pay for not having to take a sick day.

The concept is really awesome which is why I was so excited to trial it but the pad didn't heat up enough and was rather lukewarm throughout the few hours. The adhesive was also not very good either and after two hours the pad falls off your skin. What a shame, would recommend alternatives until this product improves. Thankfully I didn't spend money on it or that would have been a sore disappointment.

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.

I love how convenient these are! I try keep a pack in my draw at work, as its so much easier than trying to use a hottie or wheat pack. These can take a little while to heat up sometimes, and other times they heat up pretty fast - I guess it depends on the batch. Of course a hottie or wheat pack is more effective as they are alot hotter, but for the mild days these do the trick.

I get terrible back and period pain, I decided I'd try it as I'd heard about it on the radio. First of all, the price was at least $6.50 for 2 from Countdown. I applied the first when I was having bad back pain, I placed it on my back, but found the sticky hurt when I moved, making it hard to bend over. I got used to the heat, so only felt the heat when I put my hand under the pad. I personally don't think the pad worked for me... I'd perfer medication and my big wheatpad. Its good if you're on the go, and heat works for you... If not save your money!

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.

These are a good idea and could be amazing. They apply heat just like they say they will, however they don't stay on very well. I don't think they are a substitute for a hot water bottle or wheat pack if you have bad cramping, but may take the edge off until panadol kicks in.

The idea behind this product is fantastic and being a person who suffers from period pain every month i was extremely keen to try. Unfortunately it did not live up to what it said it would do. They didn't get warm and didn't help at all!!!!!

I prefer alot of heat when I have pain and this just didnt cut the mustard. I understand it prob hard from a safety side of things to get it hotter but it just wasnt the product for me.

There really small lol, and don't seem to heat up much at all. I prefer my good old hot water bottle, and as an added bonus its reusable! I was super disapointed with this product.
