I prefer alot of heat when I have pain and this just didnt cut the mustard. I understand it prob hard from a safety side of things to get it hotter but it just wasnt the product for me.

As I suffer from cramps I thought these would do the trick, but I was very disappointed when the heat patch only heated up to a luke-warm temperature. You can feel the warmth on your fingers but not on the rest of your body, as it quickly adapts to the feeling. The adhesive pulled my hairs which made it uncomfortable, but other than that it was a satisfactory experience.
Tips: Try a hot water bottle instead
I had such high hopes for these but they did not live up to their promises and I will not be purchasing them (I tried them through a free sample). I found that they felt weird and uncomfortable on my skin and didn't really heat up to a temperature that did anything to relieve pain/discomfort.
They are also quite expensive for something that you might be using quite a lot.
Tips: Reading through the other reviews, it seems that they did actually work for a lot of other people, so I would probably buy them once and give them a go as everyone's body is different and they may just work for you.
Such a great idea but they unfortunately don't deliver. I received a sample in the post and tried it out as soon as I had the chance. Wasn't impressed- the heat pad is too small, doesn't warm up hot enough and loses it's effect too soon (i'm guessing my body got use to it too quickly). You are better off just taking a couple painkillers and if you can using a hot water bottle.
I was so keen to try these when I first saw them in the super market, but found them to be such a let down when I got around to trying them. Being a "little larger" I found it really hard to get it to stick down and hand to end up pulling my underwear up to get it to stick down under the band of my undies (so uncomfortable!). Its also not long enough so did't cover the whole area I would have hoped it did. On the plus side, it did hold its heat for a really long time which was nice :)
I love these heatpads a little too much. While I would prefer just to use a reheatable bag, if I'm out and about, these are my go-to. I've never had any problems sticking them to my belly, but control top tights made them feel much more secure. They stay hot for a long time too!
My freind told me about these & I thought it was a cool idea so I decided to buy them, My first impression was that the packaging was cool! But I wish they had more heat patches per box so that you could wear one everyday of your period lol! Then when I opened it it kinda looks like a plaster/pad & I put it on my lower tummy, And it did take a while to get going but it deffinately made a difference to my cramps for me anyway! It was nice & warm & I ended up falling asleep with it on & when I woke up it was still warm! So Id highly Reccomend them because you cant even tell you have them on, So it would be great if you've got work etc
When I had endometriosis pain, these were perfect. Easy to use and nobody even knows you're wearing it. They stay stuck on and stay heated/warm probably for about 5 hours. They are great for endometriosis pain and I would recommend it to anyone who suffers from this kind of pain.
I had such high hopes for this product as it such a cool concept. I mean who doesn't love the idea of on the go cramp help. But the heat was barely noticeable on me and did not last anywhere as long as I thought that it would. I would say give it a go for anyone who does experience period cramps or any cramps for that matter as from the ladies I have spoken to it is a real individual thing - works on some and not on others. If in doubt, grab a hot water bottle :)
Recommend this for teenagers who are having their first periods as it helps with light pain. They’re not too hot and won’t burn the skin.
