Libra Hotties Heat Patches Review

I was sent a sample of these a while back and didn't know what to expect when using them, this was the first time I had tried it and I was kind of disappointed. There wasn't much heat from these heat packs and they didn't stick very well. I could barely feel the heat and had to continuously keep re position it because the sticky part wore off so quickly. I personally wouldn't buy these for myself but if gifted then I'd probably use them again, the concept of this idea was great but the product itself was not so great.

Suffering from Endo, I was very excited to try this product, I spend many nights with a traditional wheatbag on my tummy.

I like how discrete and portable this product is, allowing me to use it in places without a microwave or where it would be inappropriate to have a wheat bag. Such as at my wedding which is what these were purchased for.

Unfortunately they don't get as hot as I would like to provide much relief. But they do make me a little more comfortable and feel like I am doing something. I also found I only got around 2 hours of warmth not the five advertised on the packet.

Being a bit bigger sized would be an improvement.

Not a substitute for a wheat bag but a portable option!

These may be expensive if you're going to use them every day but for those really really bad days they're a lifesaver. They stay hot for a really long time and reduce cramp pain a lot. Loving them!

I got a few free samples of these, and they're basically mini hotties that stick to you and help with period cramps.

In my opinion, they don't work as well as hotties, but they're really discreet. I like the fact that you can do your normal, everyday things with these. The heat lasts for a long time! However, I found they didn't stick too well. If I was walking around wearing this I would definitely put some tape or something on it. I'm pretty sure these wouldn't stick for the whole day, and it'd be a bit embarrassing for a pad-shaped thing to fall out of your top!

I used these at night time, instead of using a hot water bottle. I liked them because I could sleep on my side, my front, my back and it stuck to me. I probably wouldn't spend money on them, as, for me, a hot water works better for helping cramps. It could get quite expensive for everyday wear but I'd definitely recommend them for bad cramp days when you're out-and-about!

A waste of money in my opinion. Just get a hot water bottle and save your money . You can't move around without them unsticking I'm a bit disappointed.

I really love the Heat patches! I have PCOS and I get bad pain on just one side so this really helps as I only use it on the one side. I love that I can wear it out of the house as I normal have leaving the house when its that time of the month. They have also made it so I can sleep a lot better which is fantastic!

I really like the Heat patches! I have endo and I get really bad pains every time i get a period. I love that I can wear it out of the house.because as a busy mum staying at home when its that time of the month just to have my hottie just can't be done. although they could make them a little hotter

There is nothing more satisfying than heat on your tummy during that time of the month. I was so excited when i got my first Libra Hottie Heat Patch, it stuck perfectly and didn't come unstuck by itself. Mine stayed warm for ages, i think it must have stayed warmer with my body heat too. Just perfect!

I had heard a few things about this here and there in the BR Forums and around the place, and so when I found them at Countdown for $5ish dollars and I couldn't wait to get my period (who says that!?!) to use them.

I didn't really read the box when I bought so I was disappointed to see only two foil packets. Finally the big red day came and with it the mother of all cramps. I was almost bed ridden but then I remembered I had these things so I dragged my broken body into the bathroom to get one. I ripped open the packaging and as I pulled off the sticky labels off I read the packet.

The sticky patch is, ironically, pad shaped. It's mostly a big square of black under the white protective fabric and two sticky wings on each end. The paper on the sticky's was hard to get off and I ended up ripping the paper several times before getting it off fully. The hot pad heats up in the natural air, and even after all of this I felt no warmth coming off of the heat pad. I stuck it to myself anyway and hoped for the best.

An hour later, I still couldn't feel any heat coming from the hot pad. I carefully pulled the sticky's off, which was mildly uncomfortable in its own, but the pain took my mind off the cramp briefly. I kept it in my pocket but it didn't get any hotter than lukewarm. My cramp required something a bit more than lukewarm, but I don't think I got a dud. I wouldn't buy these again, and I hate to be a hater but I found these absolutely useless.

Its so good for when you get a cramp and have to use a heat patch discreetly. And it works very well and gets rid of the cramps
