Kinda helpful but short lived
These only last a max of 6 hours for me, and hours 2-4 are the best. Plus it’s nothing miraculous, just a noticeable reduction in pain. Nice size to apply along the spine. Not too difficult to apply to the lower back, but most will need help with the upper back.<br /><br />If my skin is not oily (such as from lotion), they stick fine. I’ve cleaned with rubbing alcohol first if needed (allowing time to dry). I can pick up the slightest scent, but way more tolerable than anything with Menthol.<br /><br />Relatively comfortable. Not much thicker than medical tape. Doesn’t cause me a rash despite being sensitive to many medical adhesives. A bit painful to remove, like anything sticky.<br /><br />Hoping to find something better, but they cost even more. And when you use at least 2 a day, it adds up. Although 2 smaller ones is way cheaper than 1 giant one. These are more rectangular than a lot of other options.
