4% Lidocaine Numbing Patch - Maximum Strength - Temporary Relief of Pain, Back, Neck, Shoulders, Knees, Elbows, Minor Skin Irritations - Topical Analgesic Unscented - 30 ct

Bought these based on price and I am totally satisfied. Works as well as Salonpas and other 4% Lidocaine brands, including store brand generics. Adhesion has been excellent. I totally recommend. FOLLOW UP (12/10/23) - Frustration with Adhesive Backing I am on my second box of 30. While I am still very satisfied with the effectiveness and convenience of these pads, I am frustrated by product inconsistency. Specifically, the plastic backing is sometimes difficult to remove, the adhesive is gooey and sticky, and as I peel the backing, the pad tends to fold in on itself and/or gets stretched out. This occurred on a few of the pads in the first box I bought, but most were fine. As I begin to use the second box, it has occurred on nearly every pad. This is frustrating and I have occasionally had to throw out a pad, or snip off a portion that had folded over and became unusable. As I read back over reviews, I have noticed that a lot of people have had this experience as well. That is disappointing. I will be reaching out to Wellspring, if they do not respond in this forum. 4/10/24 FOLLOW UP I did follow up with Wellspring at their number on the box. They were very responsive and sent me a new box of 30. I appreciate their responsiveness. Between the box of 30 I had just started using, and the box they sent me, I have had very few pads that peeled smoothly as designed. Most were sticky and stretched out as I tried to peel and apply them to my knee and ankle. I often cut the pad in half because I do not need a complete 3.9"x5.5" pad in either area. Either way, when applying the pad it tends to stretch from 1.5 to 2 times its length. I just put a complete 3.9x5.5 on my knee. Final size when applied was 2.9"x12". Unfortunately, I suspect, from both experience and others' reviews, that most of the other similar sized and priced pads sold here on Amazon are likely to have the same problem. Good pain relief but unreliable application and adhesion.

Lidocaine helps with my husbands back pain and he has used many type of patches including the big name brand. This brand has been the best! Most of them only stay stuck for a short period of time. But this one sticks all day.

I used these for everything achy/pain related that I can, whether it is a sore back or even sadly a sunburn on the tops of my feet that took forever to heal. It helped me get through that and allowed me to wear shoes during that time, as it provided pain relief and a cushion. The 4% Lidocaine Numbing Patch has proven to be a welcome addition to my pain relief toolkit. With its maximum strength formula, it's been effective in alleviating aches and pains, particularly in the back and neck areas. The convenience of the patch format is a definite plus. Application is straightforward—simply peel and adhere the patch to the affected area. The adhesive is strong enough to stay in place without causing discomfort, even during movement. The numbing effect kicks in relatively quickly, providing noticeable relief within a short period of time. This is especially helpful when dealing with persistent discomfort that can affect daily activities. I found the patch to be particularly useful for managing muscle soreness after workouts or addressing tension-related pain. The packaging includes clear instructions, making it easy to use the product safely and effectively. It's also great to see that the patches are individually wrapped, which helps maintain their potency and ensures they're ready for use whenever needed. While the 4% Lidocaine Numbing Patch is effective, it's worth noting that for some people with sensitive skin, there might be a slight sensation or redness around the application area. However, this is generally temporary and fades away quickly.

These 4% lidocaine patches are effective in pain relief. I have spinal issues, along with inflammation, and I use 7-10 of them per week under doctor's supervision. Wellmate never disappoints me with the level of lidocaine in the patch, and they definitely last 12 hours. I consider this brand extremely effective, and when that is paired with the relatively low price (I look for the frequent sales and use Subscibe and Save), it's the best value for the money of the 5 different brands I have tried. I don't feel uncomfortable while I'm wearing them, and no one has ever mentioned an odor to me. That may be because they are thicker than many lidocaine patches. I do have one complaint. They are not very sticky, and in order to get them to stay on, I must use medical tape separate from the patches. This is a minimal added expense. (Search Amazon for "plastic medical tape", and you can buy in bulk to get the best deals.) Since I use lidocaine patches almost daily, adding tape isn't a big deal to me compared to the effective pain relief of Wellmate and the consistent and lasting amount of lidocaine used, combined with the affordability this company provides.

the 30 counts until february , i like it; they are flexible. I bought these because the 40 are really bad quality and do not stay on...they were 12 hours...but now i am scare to buy these with the new presentation. if they don't get my money back, i am seeing that says 8 hours only

I LOVED these so much- they adhered well to my skin and helped me sleep without back pain waking me. I just ordered a pack of 40, and they feel like a different patch. They're peeling apart differently. The patch isn't as stretchy anymore and it makes them feel smaller. Now they won't stay put on my lower back. I wake with a ball of patch wadded up on my lower back. I'm so disappointed. I found one of my patches from a previous pack, and it adheres much more securely than this pack. I don't know what's up, but something has changed, and not for the better.

Great quality. Work like salonpas. Really quite sticky. Size is nice and big. Color is white
