Salonpas Maximum OTC Strength Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Flex Patch, Apply for Up to 8 Hours, Unscented, Thin, Flexible, Lightweight, Patch Stays in Place, 7 Patches

The fabric stays in place overnight & doesn’t come off or bunch up when you wake up. Gel patches do not seem to stay in place. I have sciatic pain & the lidocaine offers very good relief! This is my go to!

We've been using this with family for all sports related pain around joints (knees, shoulders) and it works really well. Helps to alleviate some pain and provide relief.

$$$ same as cheaper brand and patch is very small but it does hold very good

I sometimes get foot pain on the top of my foot from running. These patches are wonderful! I can put it on top of my foot and also put a sock on, and not have to worry about the patch coming off or getting bunched up!

I suffer from lower back and sciatica pain, and this product has provided noticeable relief without the need for medication, which I consider a significant benefit. While the adhesive tends to lose its stickiness fairly quickly, I continue to use it to experience its therapeutic effects. For best results, I recommend applying it to clean, dry skin—avoid using lotion beforehand. Overall, I do recommend this product for those seeking a non-pharmacological option for pain management.

I use Salonpas (regular) daily but I decided to try this product. I looked and looked to see if I can use it in addition to the regular Salonpas because the directions say not to use more than one Flex Patch at a time, but it doesn't say if I can safely use a Flex patch with the regular Salonpas. WHY CAN'T I SPEAK TOA REAL PERSON WITH MY QUESTIONS???

These really work. I've been in excruciating pain for a couple of years in both of my knees. I've been getting quarterly cortisone injections in both knees. In between the cortisone wearing off and my next visit for injections, I've been using these patches. WOW they really work! They give me the relief so that I can function doing the smallest thing like grocery shopping, walking down stairs, playing a little fetch with my dogs etc... I still need knee replacements but in the meantime I totally endorse these for temporary relief from pain that can be so grueling and limit your activity.

Other than one negative, and that is, the patch isn’t very big, the Lidocaine does help and is long lasting.Also, the patch indeeds stays on, until you take it off. The flex patch moves with you, so you forget it’s there.One huge plus to this product is, as a person with an adhesive allergy, these patches do NOT leave your skin red, swollen or itchy. I will definitely buy again.
