BiofreezeXL Pain Relief Patches, Menthol Pain Patches for Lower Back, Neck, Knee, & Shoulder, Comfortable & Flexible Fabric Stays in Place, FSA Eligible, 4 ct

These Biofreeze patches make a good night's sleep possible for me and reduces the need for pain pills. I sometimes cut them half to use in more than one achy spot. They stay in place and are very effective. Using them while travelling helped me to enjoy my visit without feeling sluggish from meds. When I told my orthopedist he recommended that I continue using them instead of a prescription cream. I now keep a package on my nightstand so they are always handy!

I have continuous back pain and these Biofreeze pad work wonders. The roll on works well too, but the pad work a lot longer. Great pain relief.

Love BioFreeze!The patches stay in place all day and help ease my aches and pains

Relief ! If only by distraction, is welcomed when a painful condition persists. The spray is instant….but these patches are good for 8 + hours .

This is awesome. I can feel it working and it stays attached to your skin . It doesn’t have a an overwhelming aroma.

I have been using Biofreeze products for quite some time now, and these are by far my favorites. They are large so they cover more area, and are easy enough to put on and take off. They do a good job of reminding you they're there by the cooling affect (and pain relief!) you may get from them. They are easy to wear at night and I'd say depending upon the where you can get a good 6-8 hours out of them, sometimes less. Not every body is the same!A lot of people comment on the smell - and just like any product you're using with menthol it does have that menthol-like smell. It's not noticeable if you remove the patch and doesn't appear to "spread" or stay on things like clothing or bedsheets. Wash your hands before and application, just in case you get the urge to rub your eye in the middle of the night (ask me how I know). Overall, I can't recommend this "OTC band-aid" enough when it comes to brief reprieves in pain.

i bought three different products and was surprised how this company calls this a large patch. while they do give the measurements prior to purchase i had to see them for myself and try them out before i made any comment about the product. they have a strong scent but i didnt buy them for the smell. i wanted a BACK size pad and not one for a wrist or quarter neck size. i wont buy this product again as i can get many more products and get better results.These have a varying satisfactory history with me this all depends on the weather, the temperature how much you sweat, where you are putting the pad and more. If you can use medical tape to hold these in place because they can roll off or become too mushy to work properly. It also depends on where you put these pads (and, oh btw you don't want to apply this and then touch sensitive areas like you eyes or any others sensitive area before you wash your hands. Wash first and diligently before anywhere else. I use them on my neck, arms, legs chest and back. They are NOT perfect for everyone but they do provide some pain relief for me. There isn't one perfect tool which will work on everyone. Some may need physical therapy and/or pain relief meds and/or wraps/support devices. I am trying the icy hot roll on product to be more targeting to locations of pain. There are advantages to using the pads and advantages to using the roll on. The pads don't transfer the medication to clothing as the roll on will but when the medication wears off from the pads you just peal it off and wash the area well. There is nothing to throw away with the roll on. The pads require to be kept in a sealed bag so they don't all activate in air and become useless when needed so the roll on gains traction over the pads for transport and use. Having said all that, again, its all personal choice. You might need to try them all and decide if you want/need increased/decreased medical strength of one over the other or which chemical is used for one or the other. Some may have negative reaction to one over the other. You might even need to speak to your physician before you try any of these pads/roll one for me its mostly a question of how bad the pain is on a given day, what activities I will be involved in, the weather and other factors on a daily basis. I will say this again, WATCH WHAT YOU TOCH AFTER HANDLING ANY OF THESE ITEMS AS THEY CAN CAUSE LOCALIZED MEDICAL ISSUES (LIKE GROIN) OR WORSE IF YOU TOUCH ANYWHERE NEAR EYES.

Great smell, very effective stayed on back to relieve pain
