Let's be honest here, nothing beats a hot water bottle or a wheat bag. The hotties didn't have enough heat to make a big difference nor were they big enough for the target area (lower abdomen aka where most period pain is). The one saving factor for these is that it's inconspicuous under clothing, meaning it can be worn under clothes for school or work, which is much easier and more comfortable than carrying the aforementioned hot water bottle or wheat bag. So basically yeah I would buy it again but if you're having immense period pain I wouldn't recommend this.

I find these work exactly as they say. They are warm enough to relieve discomfort. I'm not sure I would wear one outside of the house but around home or before bed etc definetly.
These are a good idea and could be amazing. They apply heat just like they say they will, however they don't stay on very well. I don't think they are a substitute for a hot water bottle or wheat pack if you have bad cramping, but may take the edge off until panadol kicks in.
Tips: I used a bellyband to hold it on as it didn't want to stay stuck.
The idea behind this product is fantastic and being a person who suffers from period pain every month i was extremely keen to try. Unfortunately it did not live up to what it said it would do. They didn't get warm and didn't help at all!!!!!
Found these while wandering through the supermarket late one night and decided to give it a go to try. It was a bit weird at first to get used to but the sticky patches kept it in place to keep the warmth in the right place throughout the day. Easily hidden beneath my clothing and the sticky patches used to keep it in place having no reaction with my skin (which is a big deal for because I have odd reactions to some things for no reason) Its not an intense amount of heat, I would liken it to a hot water bottle that you could keep comfortably up against your skin without burning yourself, however the patch keeps its heat for the entire day.
Tips: This product is not meant for intense period pain, however this has helped enormously with the continuous ache that I get when "my friend" pays a visit
My p.....s are very heavy as I've got older, and for those first couple of days I find Hotties such a relief. Not the whole cure, still recommend panadol too, but how nice is it to go about with a discrete hot water bottle on your aching tum? I told my daughter about them and she loves them too.
Brilliant when I was having really bad backs during periods. Very soothing and so undetectable I could wear them at sports events in the winter when I felt chilled and unwell.
Got these thinking they would be fantastic as all the packaging and adverts say they wilol help with period pain. I was dissapointeed, they didn't warm up and didn't do what they suggested at all.
Maybe I used them wrong, but not sure how you can get it wrong?
I was quite excited to try these, but they were quite a disappointment. They didn't get really warm, and the adhesive was so super sticky that it really hurt to remove!!
I don't need these for the 'intended' use but for pulled muscles. The idea behind them is great, but I found they didn't give the right heat for me and what I needed. And only having 2 in a pack for at least $5 isn't very ideal as more would be needed! Will stick to a good ole fashioned wheatie bag instead, which is also reusable.
Tips: Keep them in the car, nappy bag or first aid kit for times of need when you are away from home.
