WELMATE | 4% Lidocaine Numbing Patch | Maximum Strength | Temporary Relief of Pain, Back, Neck, Shoulders, Knees, Elbows, Minor Skin Irritations | Topical Analgesic Unscented | 30 ct

After driving a truck for 30 years my back was quite messed up and I was getting these by prescription but they were costing me a fortune so I decided to try these and I’m glad I did. There is no heat with these, there’s no smell, there’s no irritation, you only need the small patch to take all the pain out of your back and they last me over 12 hours I do always wear a shirt or a nightgown because without that they could get moved around on your body. They peel very easy to come off the plastic and they don’t curl up you just put them where you want them press on them and they will stay. I highly recommend this product.

Generally stick very well and stay where you put them. I have tried several brands, and this one seems to stick the best. The lidocaine seems to be as good as any other, and they work as expected.

Works well for numbing the pain. Not 5 stars only because the edges peel. I had to use a flex bandage to keep the patch from rolling up when I bend my knee.

I'm 86 and have had sciatica among other things for years. I am so happy with these patches. I couldn't function otherwise. The price has become more competitive but I would still like then a little cheaper. But an excellent product and best of all, they work!

These work as well as the brand name patches and the price is so much better.

Really helps hospitals are using them now. Just a mild pain reliever takes the edge off.

These functioned as expected.The quality, however, occasionally, could have been better.In about a quarter of the patches, the manufacturing cuts were jagged, and did not match up to the patch - leaving one sliver of the edge exposed. Easy to trim and move on, yes, but when it hurts, that extra step can be unbearable (i.e. when the scissors are in the kitchen and I'm am not).The same was true of the middle split line. It is just easier to pull at the corners.Their staying power depends on your mobility - definitely watch that waste band positioning… if it's too soon, the next time you sit, it will not be anywhere near where you thought it was (up and over over, hold to while your moving. Hangout for about 20 mins before doing anything fancy.For the price, I'd say I'm still pretty happy with the product - and majorly of the time.

I was a die hard Salon Pas Lidocaine patch user. These are great alternatives to the more costly Salon Pas lidocaine patches.They are a bit “sticky” and can fold back on itself prior to application. They last about 8-10 hours which get me through a work day.I will continue to purchase. Bye bye salon pas.
