Libra Hotties Heat Patches Review

I was so excited to try these... But they didn't live up to my expectations! They didn't really get hot enough for me. But i did like that i could wear it at school... Rather than carry around a hot water bottle! And no one could tell. It was better than having no heat on my stomach during school hours.

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 personally suffer from regular pain in my stomach so I am always on the lookout for new things that can help this in a discreet manner. The Libra hotties are discreet but if the sticky back stops to work and it falls out of your top it can be awkward explaining to people that it isn't a sanitary pad you don't know how to place properly!! That was the problem for me, the stickiness. I wish the heat and sticky back were stronger. The idea of them and what they do it great though so with some modification I reckon these heat pads would be bought regularly by woman with tummy/back pains and Endometriosis.

It worked for me, the sticky part is annoying though but it does stay on. I gave this a half because I can't see this being any different from a wheat bag. Sure it can stick but you'll probably have the urge to want to take it off anyway

I was lucky enough to have two samples sent to me a little while back, but hadn't actually tried it till last night. I don't usually get cramps, but yesterday, my cramps lasted all day :( So I figured I'd try out one of my heat patches. It's super easy to apply, although, if you apply it and it doesn't feel tight enough or not positioned properly, please don't take it off and try again. I made this mistake, and it lost most of it's stick. I still managed to get a lot of use out of it, thanks to my tight clothing. Anyway, the heat patch didn't do much for the pain, but there was something so soothing about the warmth on my tummy. I definitely wouldn't call it a heat patch though, it's more like a warm patch. Even though it's not what it makes out to be, I would definitely use it again. It's just soothing! :)

Although at home I would much rather a hot water bottle or wheat bag, I found this amazing for when I get bad cramps at school. They stay in place for hours and stay warm for ages, although I found they take a while to actually warm up. I don't know where I would be without these on school days (or just not at home in general) when I get cramps.

This is the type of product that you expect to stop all cramping and stuff, but it doesn't. They don't get as warm as you'd expect and go cold after a short amount of time. I'd turn to a hot water bottle or wheat bag over this, purely because of the price and its not as effective as its made out to be.

I used one the other day and was pleasantly surprised by the heats it reached, I've read the reviews others have made saying it wasn't that effective but found it was effective enough for on the go heat therapy. I found it maintained a level of heat for a long period of time and used a little bit of medical tape to keep it on as it started to lose slight stickiness. I would use it again for sure!

This product is fantastic! It's not bulky like a hot water bottle, or a wheat bag. It's adhesive so you don't have to carry it around. It goes under your clothes and no one notices. And it does it exactly what it says it does. It provides pain relieving heat.
