Aspercreme Max Strength Lidocaine Pain Relief Patch (5 Count) for Back Pain, Odor Free Pain Patches

Better than some Lidocaine prescription patches ! Why? They go on easily and stay put, they don't slide around your body on their own, get stuck to your clothes and roll up or down, they are much thinner than Lidoderm so there is less sweating and discomfort and are unnoticeable beneath clothing when placed in obvious areas such as the shoulder or chest area, they are much easier to cut when they are still in their package and they don't gum up your scissors, the pain relief lasts practically until the next day, the backing pulls off easily and does not make your fingers gooey and gummy, I'm reiterating they do not stick to your clothes or slide around because that has been one of the biggest problems I have found with each of the generic brands of liododerm and the new liododerm patches they began making approximately 4 or 5 years ago when the original Lidoderm patch company stopped making them and sent their production overseas. Finally, although they are not covered by prescription that I know of, they are covered by your FHA accounts if you have one and are much cheaper than any lightoderm brand. They also come in several sizes. The only downfall I can find is that they don't come in bulk such as a box of 30 which would be a welcome advantage especially if it could be offered at a discounted rate. Perhaps one day we'll see them in Costco or bj's!

I couldn’t believe how much this actually works. Also it works just as good as the lotion works because I’ve had rupturing cyst on my ovary constantly over the last few days and even taking pain medication hasn’t helped entirely without using this with it. I know that sounds crazy because you would think a rupturing cyst in the abdomen wouldn’t be helped by something like this when it comes to having Endometriosis but it actually does help. No nothing is 100 when it comes to pain especially pain like us women deal with. I can tell you right now it is so much better with it versus without it. It stayed on with no problems. I even had to take it off and apply it to move it over just a little bit on my lower abdomen and it stayed for 13 and a half hours when I got ready to take it off to put another one on it was still on there and I had to peel it off slowly because the stickiness was so good still after all that time. I couldn’t believe it even after sleeping and everything. It was still stuck on their good. One thing I did make sure that I did was I made sure of the area that I was gonna put it on was wiped really good with a baby wipe just you know make sure there’s no lotion or anything on your skin from getting out of the shower otherwise that will prevent it from sticking for sure. This is the best of the best I mean that with everything I have. I also had a heating pad on my abdomen with it and it was fine. I’m very thankful for it and I’m about to order two more packs. This is actually my second pack in the last 10 days.

I wish I could put on dispatch everywhere on my body, it seems to work so well, and I start getting immediate relief once I apply it. The only issue is when I have it in my lower back, it’s seeming sometimes to ball up or not stick as well if you’re moving around quite a bit. Otherwise though I just secure it with a piece of medical tape, and relief is 100%

I had been using another brand from a pharmacy chain. I tried the Aspercreme patch, again, and was very impressed with a few new revisions. These revisions have improved my impression of this product.The individual patches are a bit stretchy. The backing has a perforated line down the middle with instructions to stretch the product by holding each end so the perforation splits the backing into two pieces. Take the corner of backing and remove one of the sides. I place the patch at this point. One adhered, I remove the 2nd half of the backing, which gives me the best results. If you aren’t very careful, you can easily end up with wrinkles in the patch where the patch sticks to itself and reduces the surface area of the patch against your skin,...which means less active ingredients being absorbed.The improvements that I noticed were the thinner dimension of the patch. I noticed the logo and name “embossed” onto the non-active side of the patch.Also, I’m not sure, but if the patch had the traditional aspercreme fragrance before, it does NOT have it now. This current patch is absolutely fragrance free.Along that same theme, if the patch had the traditional warming experience before, this newer patch does NOT, which is something the majority of patches don’t have either. There are plenty of warming crepes out there. As a user of lidocaine patches, I want reduction in pain, no odor, no cooling or heating sensation, no oily residue, or any other sign that a patch is being used.I’m delighted with the revisions. I will be purchasing again. They are great!

This is very effective at numbing discomfort for sore muscles. Sicks well to the area. I used it on my wrist.

I bought this for my wife because she has back issues and when we took out one of the packets to put on her back, the cellophane paper backing fell apart as we were putting it on her back and is not very sturdy and it’s not the best so far, we will give it another. Try when she changes this Packet. Hopefully, it will work better.

This product works well go back pain. I use them regularly.

I use these when my back pain arrives and instant relief.
