Received a sample and must admit I was excited to try, only to be disappointed :( Took awhile to activate and just didn't get that hot. Felt as if i would've got more warmth by holding my hand against my tummy so bit of a let down. Also found it irritating to be stuck on. Glad it was free and I didn't waste money to try this product

Libra Hotties Heat Patches Review
LIBRA Hotties Heat Patches are like a hot water bottle on-the go!
These self-adhesive patches offer portable heat therapy for women who experience cramping. Apply a patch directly onto sore tummies, backs or anywhere else where heat therapy is used.
Each Libra Hottie offers gradual warmth for over 5 hours and once you're feeling better, just throw away the used patch. It may take up to an hour for each heat patch to reach its maximum temperature of 50 degrees.
So stick on a Libra Hottie whenever you to need take the edge off period pain!

Love the idea but sadly the product didn't live up to expectations :( the pads didn't get much hotter than warm, and really didn't do much in the way of helping. Found that they stuck ok, not sure I would use or recommend them simply because a hotwater bottle or wheat pack is going to do a better job
Tips: Stick with your hotwater bottle (the mini version for kids are a great size) or wheat packs
This isnt what I expected as Libra have some fantastic products. The patch doesnt heat up very well, the adhesive doesnt stick that great and I didnt read the instructions when I bought my 1st one, and pulled the wrong seal off- damaging the patch. I bought another one, making sure to peel the right side off, applied it to my lower back pain and it didnt take my pain away. I was not a happy camper.
I got theses thinking that the temperature would be constant and be a decent heat, but it wasn't anywhere near warm, it was more like a luke warm and didn't do anything. It has a lot of potential but if the temperature was a lot higher they would be fantastic (I have felt disposable hand warmers that heat hotter than these). Again as other people have stated, they would benefit from being re-stickable, I accidentally placed it in the wrong place and wasn't able to re-position it.
The temperature really was not what i expected. It was lukewarm and i often couldn't feel any heat at all. It was reasonably comfortable and stayed in place but was a bit painful to pull off. The overall concept of the heat patch is a great idea i just don't think it really worked.I would probably stick to my hot water bottle!
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.
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.
I received a sample of these a little while ago and thought they sounded like quite a good idea. I personally would not waste my time and money on them though.
Firstly, they are not hot enough! Luke warm best describes the temperature I experienced and that is not going to relieve cramps.
Secondly, they were not sticky enough and kept falling off which was annoying.
Tips: They would be better if they were actually hot.
I tried one of these patches when I was on my period and it took a long time to heat up - then when it finally heated up it wasn't even that hot! I totally forgot I was wearing it and my period pain didn't get any better. They just don't heat up enough to be useful.
Tips: Just use a hot water bottle instead if you're sitting around at home.
I suffer from bad cramps, and these heat patched looked like heaven in their little box on the shelf. I used one, and it was pretty disappointing. It took a very very long time to heat up, and even when it was heated, it was lukewarm. It also didn't stick very well. :(
Tips: Don't try them. They really aren't worth the money, even though it's not much.
