WELMATE Lidocaine 4% Maximum Strength Pain Relief Patches, 15 Count

Bought these based on price and I am totally satisfied. Works as well as Salonpas and other 4% Lidocaine brands, including store brand generics. Adhesion has been excellent. I totally recommend. FOLLOW UP (12/10/23) - Frustration with Adhesive Backing I am on my second box of 30. While I am still very satisfied with the effectiveness and convenience of these pads, I am frustrated by product inconsistency. Specifically, the plastic backing is sometimes difficult to remove, the adhesive is gooey and sticky, and as I peel the backing, the pad tends to fold in on itself and/or gets stretched out. This occurred on a few of the pads in the first box I bought, but most were fine. As I begin to use the second box, it has occurred on nearly every pad. This is frustrating and I have occasionally had to throw out a pad, or snip off a portion that had folded over and became unusable. As I read back over reviews, I have noticed that a lot of people have had this experience as well. That is disappointing. I will be reaching out to Wellspring, if they do not respond in this forum. 4/10/24 FOLLOW UP I did follow up with Wellspring at their number on the box. They were very responsive and sent me a new box of 30. I appreciate their responsiveness. Between the box of 30 I had just started using, and the box they sent me, I have had very few pads that peeled smoothly as designed. Most were sticky and stretched out as I tried to peel and apply them to my knee and ankle. I often cut the pad in half because I do not need a complete 3.9"x5.5" pad in either area. Either way, when applying the pad it tends to stretch from 1.5 to 2 times its length. I just put a complete 3.9x5.5 on my knee. Final size when applied was 2.9"x12". Unfortunately, I suspect, from both experience and others' reviews, that most of the other similar sized and priced pads sold here on Amazon are likely to have the same problem. Good pain relief but unreliable application and adhesion.

I’m a retired pharmacist and I have multiple back issues. I’ve used lidocaine patches for 20 years. These are the absolute BEST patch out there. I don’t understand people saying they’re thin, they are not. They are thicker than SalonPas which makes them easier to peel and apply. Some commented they’ll fold over on itself while applying- well they ALL do until you get the technique down. I apply them on my lumbar area and shoulder. But as you guess I cannot apply to mid back without assistance. I’m very impressed with this patch, I’ve not had one roll up nor slide off. And they’re cheaper!!! I’ve cancelled my Salonpas auto order now, only using these!! Edited review 3-6-2025 Well wellspring changed their manufacturing plant FROM India TO China and the product is terrible now. The product from India was flat, and stiffer. So easy to apply and even reposition if necessary. I got a new box from China today, I knew something was up because the box was over twice as big, yet the patch is folded inside. Now the product is flimsy, tends to easily stick to itself when applying and horribly gooey. I don’t think there would be anyway to adjust positioning once it’s on. I’ve applied one and I’ll see today if pain relief is adequate

I've purchased these lidocaine patches several times for myself, and after seeing how well they worked, several of my family members have started buying them too. I've also used the medical-grade lidocaine patches provided by the hospital, and honestly, these work even better for me. If you're looking for fast pain relief, I highly recommend giving these a try. They have little to no odor, are easy to apply, stay in place well, and provide excellent pain relief. I recommend them to anyone dealing with muscle or joint pain.

These are more economical in price, especially in bulk. They are odorless and very sticky but once in place they stay put until removed. Had an issue with a few of them being sticky on both sides but otherwise, they have worked well and have been helpful alleviating some back pain.

I had surgery and these patches really worked well for me. I cut them in half. It’s easy to apply and easy to remove, that’s another reason why I keep ordering this one. Other brands are really hard to peel and I don’t like that so I highly recommend recommend this ones.

I had high hopes for these lidocaine patches based on the reviews, but have been disappointed. First off, I barely feel any pain relief whatsoever, and have used them for 4 days now. Secondly, they do not stay on for long. They adhere OK when first applied to the skin, but the edges start to roll up and the patch peels and falls off even when I'm being very careful with my movements. Glad they work for some people, but they've been a big disappointment for me.

I'll start by saying that I've been buying these packs for literally years, maybe even close to half a decade. I used to rave about these patches because they would actually stick compared to the competitors. However, over the last year, they have changed the product so much that it is no longer worth buying. The list of changes they made that has ruined this product: 1. They changed the way you split the plastic protector to a wavy pattern that just made it more difficult to apply than when it was just a straight line (minor issue tbh) 2. These patches used to stick on SUPER firmly and it was the best thing about them compared to the competitors. It would stay on all day once you applied it since it was super strong! Unfortunately, it no longer sticks on. This is the biggest reason why I'm stopping these patches. What's the point of the patches if they just fall off after an hour? 3. They changed where the application of the sticky part is on the patch so that the edges dont have any sticky part on them. This contributes to the patches falling off because as you move, clothing can get just underneath the patch where there is no sticky part and push it off of your skin. The edges of the patch can lift on various parts of the body allowing anything that catches on it to take the patch off your body. Legitimately sad about these changes because this used to be an amazing product! Really bummed out about the shortcuts on the product theyve added in the past year. I hope they fix it, but frankly I'm never buying these again to find out.

I’ve used these many times. They stay on well and ease tension or aches in the area where they are applied. I have never had an adverse reaction to them.
