Amazon Basic Care Maximum Strength OTC Pain Relief , 4% Lidocaine Patch, 3.9” x 5.5”, 15-Count Box (Previously HealthWise)

I have used many dermal patches over the years and I know a good one when I use it. The adhesion to my skin is fantastic! Usually the patch begins to detach before you can get your shirt etc back on. Not these. I can’t speak to how well they will stay on if you’re sweating but I’m gonna try them when I’m working outside. And they stretch some so the coverage is great. Try this one before you buy any other brand.

Honestly, I was surprised by how well this patch works. I slapped it on where I was feeling the most tension, and within minutes, I started noticing relief. It doesn’t have that super strong medicine smell, which I really appreciated, and it stayed in place all day. It’s perfect for sore muscles, back pain, or just when you overdo it at the gym. Super easy to use and actually effective

I have bought these patches multiple times and it definitely is a great product for its price. It works for the pain well.I will say it does fall off easy, especially if you exercise and can NOT go in the shower. Forgot to take off once and it was sticky like all over the patch.They are very stretchy and you can use tape to keep them on longer.

Pain relief patches really do help. Don’t know what I do without them on a daily basis. Great product, great price.

The medication works well, however the patch does not adhere well to the skin! It rolls off at the edges and before long it is in a ball. Aspercreme brand does not do this. So I will be returning to that product.

Excellent for mild back pain and knee pain. Application is fairly easy, just don't let the ends become twisted. I have never had any skin irritation from using these Lidocaine patches, but if you have sensitive skin they might be an issue due to the amount of time left on the skin.

Like most lidocaine patches, these are a medicated gel coating on stretchy fabric. They stick well, but do not irritate my sensitive skin. The cool gel helps with my pain immediately and the lidocaine starts working a few minutes to half an hour later. It lasts for twelve hours, and the adhesive keeps the patch in place that whole time. I even use them on the bottoms of my feet and can carefully walk around in socks and shoes without displacing them. I do make sure to cover them with pajamas or socks when sleeping to make sure I don't rub them off on my sheets.They're not hard to use, but also not the easiest. The individual foil pouches must be cut open. Their plastic backing is split in the middle to make it easier to peel and allow you to remove half the backing and partially apply the patch before removing the rest. Because the fabric is so flexible and stretchy, the patch is very likely to end up stuck to itself if you remove the whole backing at once, but it's easy enough to fix and still works just as well.The fabric is so stretchy that you can shape it to better fit your contours, including stretching it to eight inches long. It's about average in thickness, with a felt-like texture.

They do not seem as effective as other brands containing 4% lidocaine.Disappointed, and had to go and buy better ones.
