Libra Hotties Heat Patches Review

I was not impressed with these. I get horrible cramps on the first 2 days of my period so I was excited to try these whilst at work. After sticking the pad to my lower tummy i went about my normal work day. Waiting for the pad to heat up it stayed slightly warm. My hands felt warmer than this. I was expecting heat like a hot water bottle but it was nothing like it. I have one left so I'll give it another try. Hopefully its better

These are so handy! I get extremely bad period pains and it is the worst thing when I'm out and don't have anything to relieve them. Just go to the bathroom stick one of these on and go! No one will even be able to tell it's there hiding under your clothes.

I founds these okay and great for if you experienced period pain whilst at work. They are discreet and do help with the pain.

They are not as good as a good old hot water bottle or wheat bag, but for discreetness out in public, I am quite happy with them.

They did come unstuck quite easily, but at the same time I would be hesitant to make them stickier (for allergy reasons). You just have to get it on the right place the first time! Do be aware I find if you use them more than twice in a row, you may have a reaction to the adhesive, as with what happened with me. Just give it a day or so in between uses so as to not irritate your skin!

The most important thing is that they helped - even if just a little bit! I mainly use them for sleeping - if I can get a restful nights sleep then I can conquer anything! Also note these are great for any other abdominal pain besides just period pain - eg. IBS episodes, stomache bugs or abdominal migraines can also benefit from these!

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 love these on to go heat babies. really works well with my cramps. Eazy to use and can be store in your puse for accidental use.

So I received a free sample to try and am left pretty underwhelmed.

I found that the heat doesn’t really target your pain very well and didn’t last very long. The patches itself don’t stick very well either. The patch basically remains very warm, it doesn’t heat up as much as the packaging indicates

These were quite a let down. Didn't relieve the pain what so ever. They hardly even felt like they were much warmer than normal body temperature and lost stickiness way to quick

I received one of these free a year or so ago, I used it at school and i liked that it was so small and unnoticeable, but it wasn't 'life changing' for me as i've never gone out and purchased them. I think the idea is super neat! just not worth it for me.

I got these a while ago and kept them in my handbag for when I needed them. The small size is quite handy for this.

They heat up and stick to your skin ok, but as others have mentioned they don't really feel secure enough to move around in, so you might as well just use a regular hot water bottle or wheat pack.

I have found that my nalgene drink bottle (that you can pour boiling water into) is superior in terms of heat output and because I carry it in my handbag it's just as convenient, and you aren't sending rubbish to landfill everytime you use it.

All round these are OK if you are trying to be discreet, but otherwise not really worth it.
