Icy Hot Original XL Pain Relief Patch (3 Count) for Back and Large Areas

I use these a lot, and they are way better than the ones with lidocaine that cost so much more. They got me through a 15.5 hour flight from LAX to Melbourne when the outlet would not power my heating pad. They got me through Oogie Boogie Bash. And they get me through times when I can't bring my special pillows or heating pad. Just snap as the directions indicate, and they are easy to apply. I find removal can be an issue if they haven't been on very long because they are still quite sticky, but running some water on them helps quite a lot.From my experience, they start working in a few minutes, and they last strongly for about three hours. They are mild for about two more hours, and after that, I don't really notice anything. I have a spinal injury from being rear-ended, and the pain is constant, so I've tried a lot of things in the last 15 years.I also like that these are in a resealable pouch that can easily be tucked in a purse or maybe even a pocket, so you can take them on the go.

Slapped one of these on my back and immediately felt like I was being kissed by winter... and then body-slammed by the sun. It’s confusing, slightly alarming, and honestly kind of magical.The patch sticks well, delivers that signature "why does this feel illegal?" combo of freezing and fire, and somehow makes the pain disappear in the middle of it all. I don’t know how it works — probably wizardry — but my back stopped complaining, so I’m not asking questions.

I have constant back issues and this product works great for me. 8-12 hours of relief.

Instant relief of back pain up to 8 hours. The heat level was just right. I don't actually recall a smell but if so its of menthol. Nice size patch thats easy to apply and the stickiness is just fine it does not feel as if was rolling off when moving around.

These are perfect for back pain; I put them on when I'm feeling tight in my lower back, and it takes care of it magically overnight. Easier than icing it and not as awkward. Works fast, and the value can't be beat especially if you subscribe and save. These sick great and will stay on until you take them off purposely. I really love them and I stock up on on them.

Love this product,I’ve used them for years

I've found them helpful over the years for lower back issues.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve used icy hot patches for my arms before and they’ve been a great help. I’ve had good results with patches like this before so I expected the same for these. I’ve been having some back pains that keep appearing which has really been irritating me. I wanted the XL size because it would be able to take up a larger space on my back. 3 count isn’t too bad for the price. It does have a strong smell and personally can be a little shock when first placing it down. The stickiness is a little debatable however. I keep having to smooth it down when it’s on my back. A lot more than I had to with the ones I used on my arms. I’ll say these patches are great for helping with back pain, but are annoying to reattach every few minutes.
