CARELAND 4% Lidocaine Patches Plus 1% Menthol, 20 Pcs Waterproof Maximum Strength Back Pain Relief Products Patches with Border, for Neck Knee Nerve Shoulder Pain Relief Muscle Relaxer, Super Sticky

This is the best choice because it works better than the other products we have tried AND because it is sticky and stays on. The other two well known products did not stay stuck on. I highly recommend and feel this choice is the best of the best. Please try. I do not know if I can cut it into two pieces for my husband's small area of pain, or if I should keep it large to treat the surrounding area.

I use these to treat a sore knee while I sleep. These stay in place unlike many other similar patches on the market. They seal on the sides, stick to the skin, and I think the "sealed" area makes the menthol even more effective. You do need to take it very slow when removing the patches due to the sealed barrier so you don't wind up with irritated skin from the adhesive.

I've always loathed the lidocaine patches I've purchased previously for occasional back pain. Impossible to put on and get them to lay flat and stay on, by the patient. These, by contrast, were amazingly well thought out and designed to be effectively applied to the back by the sufferer. They lay flat. They stay on. The menthol tells you that they're correctly applied and provides a bit of relief before the lidocaine kicks in. Insofar as lidocaine patches provide relief for back pain, these are a great choice.

Work great. The glue is so sticky that its painful to remove the patch. My daughter had angry red marks the shape of the patch from the adhesive. Overall they were great as they stayed in place better than normal lidocaine patches. Didn't notice as much menthol but that might be due to how well they sealed up compared to traditional lidocaine/menthol patches. Over all I would say 4.5 with the only issue being the adhesive which is hard to fault as it works so well.

I have purchased these patches several times now. To date, they are my favorite for a few reasons: 1) They are easy to apply yourself as long as you follow the easy 1, 2, 3 peel off directions. 2) These stick extremely well and I have had no problems with them kinking up or bunching up like other pads have in the past. 3) Even if I leave them on 12 hours or so I have had no skin reaction to the adhesive. 4) It is effective for me and I love the added menthol cooling effect. 5) I love that I can wear these without smelling like menthol or getting menthol smell on my clothes, furniture or sheets like many other patches. The seal is so good that there is little to no menthol smell transferred. 6) The size is nice and large for what ails you! I have also sent these to a family member who has lower back issues and they were also very pleased with these.

This is the best lidocaine patch I've encountered. It is, comparable to other products, easy to apply. Seems the makers have taken special care to make it easy to apply without assistance. It is also extremely effective. The menthol cools out the pain and it doesn't fall off or get wrinkled or gnarly if you carefully follow instructions for application, which are right on the product: Pull off backing 1, pull of backing 2 to apply, and pull of backing on the opposite side and voila! I love this product and it's helped me significantly with pain.

Stays on knees better than any other and I like the clear sheet. Just as good as the prescriptions because they stay on knees much better so the 1% diff in lidocaine is noticeable. Just they come out costing more because less patches in box!

Delivery was good, but once opened one of the boxes was open and one patch was missing.

I just found these! Works So Well. A new tool 4 my neverending fight against pain. Huge in size, great 4 hips & back pain & am able to cut in ½ for smaller areas. Or where the pain is over an even larger area i.e. whole hip (see photo). A great alternative when the pain/heat patches, Rapigel or Fisogel aren't working. Just found out my brother is using them too, he raved about them. Wish I found them sooner to be honest.
