Midol Heat Vibes Menstrual Pain Relief Heat Patches - 6 Count Pack for Period Cramps and Backache

I have been using these Midol patches for over a year and cannot imagine going without them now. These discreet patches go right on the outside of your underwear and heat up fairly quickly, giving you all the benefit of a heat pad without the bulk. Best of all, they can't even be seen through leggings, giving you a bit of comfort during your workout or at work. I also love that the packages are small enough to fit in any size purse and last for eight hours, giving you the comfort you need when you need it. From my own experience, they last about six to seven hours of the eight-hour period. While they work longer, they start losing their effectiveness after this. The size is also perfect for going on my period underwear or normal panties. The heat is also the right amount of warmth, not burning but relieving pain. While they are a little expensive, they are worth it for stopping cramps during my time of the month.

When I have to go out and about on my period when I’d rather be curled into a ball with my heating pad, these are my go to. They get quite hot and last a while, with the added bonus of being discrete and hands-free. I’d recommend sticking them onto some looser leggings/shorts or underwear so the air creates added insulation and a surprisingly better heat transfer. Put a few clothing layers over the top and it’ll last most of the day. Definitely longer than a rice sock or a hot water bottle. They're easy to open when cramps have my vision blurring and work almost as well as pain meds. For days when my menstrual pain has me in discomfort but in not enough pain to take ibuprofen, these work just as well. If heat helps you with your pain, you’ll love these.

I purchased these for my teen daughter. She gets really awful cramps and I feel bad when they happen at school. I always send her with some midol she can take at school, but I know that heat is always a comfort for her. She tried these out and said they are amazing. She said even through PE class it stayed in place and didn't crumple, nothing. She said it stayed warm all day long at school. She said that it was really comforting for the cramps and helped eased the pain. She rarely ever asks me to buy anything and she texted me from school saying, "please buy more of these heat pads, they are awesome"

Keeps nice and warm for at least eight hours. The size is descent and the adhesive is good as long as you don't take it off and try to stick it back on.

These are great for pain relief. Great size too. Wished they had these 50 years ago.
