Salonpas Maximum OTC Strength Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Flex Patch, Apply for Up to 8 Hours, Unscented, Thin, Flexible, Lightweight, Patch Stays in Place, 7 Patches

These patches are very effective for pain relief. The lidocaine helps numb the area, and you can really feel the difference after applying them. They are flexible, comfortable to wear, and stay in place well throughout the day. I like that they don’t feel too bulky and are easy to use. Overall, a great option for targeted pain relief. I would definitely recommend them!

Eases pain, making for better sleep. I’ve applied it to shoulders, hands, and lower back and hip. Or, anywhere you want to put it. It can be tricky applying it on yourself. Recommend.

This product works well for the injury to my hand. It stays on until it's removed. It's lightweight and you hardly know it's there. Highly recommend it.

I tried this as a test for one day, for my low back and SI joint pain with back mouse. This pain patch worked!! I normally had a pain level at 7 or 8 DAILY! I used this twice, and the pain level was ar a 2. I went back and ordered 6 more boxes. I had tried ibuprofen and muscle relaxer, but they didn't work. I'm thankful for Salonpas!

Lidocaine 4% flex patch must be applied to clean, dry, hair free, area that preferably is not on moving joints. Remember the patch holds better on areas that don’t really flex even though they call them flex patches. Once air gets under patches they tend to lift up and not stick. Honestly the lidocaine will be absorbed through your skin and spread via your blood stream around the area that has been injured. Never place on wounds or area where the skin is broken. You can also cut these if too big but remember they stick to everything.

Toy knee is bone on bone and these patches work great. Really helps with the pain

These pads are so small they hardly cover any space. Also if you place them on a crease i.e. a knee, they come loose.

I use these on long drives. I have had lumbar fusions & cervical fusion. My neck, shoulders start really hurting holding the steering wheel for long periods of time. I cut the patch in half, put one half on each upper shoulder. Between the patches & pain reliever I can proactively keep the worst pain away before it starts. My husband occasionally uses the patches on his lower back as well. Since I am talking driving our motorhome for long hrs, I usually just keep the patches on overnight & switch them in the morning if we're still on the road. The pain relief seems to last a long time. The patches are not easy to put on. Especially on the back or shoulders. The sticky tends to stick to itself & it's not easy to straighten out but can be done because they're stretchy (unlike others). My husband usually helps me put them on so I don't waste one. They do work well & stay on better than just about any patches I have tried, including prescriptions lidocaine ones years ago

Didn't stick , kept falling off
