Salonpas Maximum OTC Strength Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Flex Patch, Apply for Up to 8 Hours, Unscented, Thin, Flexible, Lightweight, Patch Stays in Place, 7 Patches

Stretchy patch, works well on knee. It’s stays put.

These patches have made a dramatic difference in my knee pain! I’ve shared them several coworkers and they love them as well.

Purchased for my upper back muscle pain, the patch, stuck like the paper on the wall and provided good relief all night long for this side sleeper. However, it was difficult to remove after 8 hours and the adhesive residue left on my skin caused severe itching for a couple days until completely scrubed off. I am allergic to latex and and a lot of "stickey stuff", and would not recommend on that basis. The patch itself is flexible and comfortable, but difficult to apply to the back by just yourself.

I suffer from lower back and sciatica pain, and this product has provided noticeable relief without the need for medication, which I consider a significant benefit. While the adhesive tends to lose its stickiness fairly quickly, I continue to use it to experience its therapeutic effects. For best results, I recommend applying it to clean, dry skin—avoid using lotion beforehand. Overall, I do recommend this product for those seeking a non-pharmacological option for pain management.

They work and easy .. easy off

Other than one negative, and that is, the patch isn’t very big, the Lidocaine does help and is long lasting.Also, the patch indeeds stays on, until you take it off. The flex patch moves with you, so you forget it’s there.One huge plus to this product is, as a person with an adhesive allergy, these patches do NOT leave your skin red, swollen or itchy. I will definitely buy again.

I should've paid more attention to the size, I was surprised how small they were! I almost returned, but kept them due to my mistake! They stick well enough & flexible, but I'll stick with the larger sizes for my ongoing knee & hip pain! Plus, they were pretty expensive for a small amount!

We've been using this with family for all sports related pain around joints (knees, shoulders) and it works really well. Helps to alleviate some pain and provide relief.
