Rael Herbal Heating Patches - Period Cramps, Ultra Thin Design, On The Go Size (8 Count)

These definitely do work, you might need to wiggle them a little like a “hot hands” pack, because at first when I took it out it was cold but wiggling them activated it. They definitely do last for the full 8 hours. They’re also pretty sticky I switched 1 from front to lower back & it still sticks pretty well. They could be warmer in my opinion.

These are Amazing if you are working or on the go and need some heat relief or if you are in bed with cramps. I put them on top of a thin shirt or on top of underwear with some pants/shorts that are not too loose, to keep the heat patch in place. However I will say the patch is pretty small…my abdomen does not have any extra love fluff, they need to come out with a XL version so everyone can enjoy, and for the girls with a little extra meat. If you have any belly roll hang time I feel like the patch won’t work unfortunately.

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Effectiveness: ★★★★★ (5/5) • These heating patches significantly alleviate my cramps, much more effectively than other heating pads I've tried from CVS/local drug stores. Comfort: ★★★★★ (5/5) • The small size is perfect for targeting the area I need, and the essential oils add a soothing effect. Adhesion: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) • The adhesion holds well initially but tends to wear off after a few hours, causing the patches to sometimes fall off — this can be very frustrating. I always wear them on a pair of shorts, with a pair of sweatpants with a thick waistband over them, to hold them in place. Value for Money: ★★★★★ (5/5) • These heating pads are an excellent investment, especially for the comfort and relief they provide during tough days. I always have them on hand and an active subscription! Summary: I am in love with these heating patches! I first saw them recommended by a content creator that said the essential oils helped her cramps. I can attest to the fact that these help my cramps way more than the heating pads I have purchased from CVS/local drug stores. I prefer the small size over the large size because the rectangle shape better fits the area I need vs. the U shape of the large size. The adhesion wears off a few hours in so I have experienced these falling off my clothes. I recommend finding a couple pairs of shorts that work well and making sure those are clean when that time of the month arrives! The heat lasts for a few hours, which is very ideal. These have gotten me through some really tough days, especially the times where I can’t bear to leave the house but I have some sort of commitment that day. I stock up and make sure I always have these on hand!!

The teens love this heating patch. They can wear it while at school and it helps with cramps!

I’ve been testing out 10 different brands of heating packs since I have a cyst on one of my ovaries and heating packs help with the pain. This one is by far one of the worst ones. First, the size is smaller than most other ones. Second, I tested all 6 in the pack & with all of them the heat only lasted about 15 to 45 minutes before it started cooling down - so it wasn’t a case of just one bad one it was the entire pack. I ordered these and use them within a few days of ordering them so it’s not like they sat around and got old. Third, the temperature didn’t get warm at all compared to the other nine brands that I tested maybe if you run significantly cooler than the rest of the population, it might feel slightly warmer to you, but if you run slightly warmer than the rest of the population, you wouldn’t feel anything. It’s only slightly warmer than room temperature. My husband literally could not feel a difference at all. The only reason why I could feel the difference is because typically my fingers are ice cold. We even got out a temperature gun & tested the warmest one & the hottest that it got was 99.6°F. These were an absolute waste of money. These are also more expensive than the other 9 brands that I tested per heat pack. I would not recommend and I would not purchase it again.

Two out of the package didn't work. They do get very hot! I had to put material between the pad and my skin. Be careful

My daughter loves these little heating pads, especially for that time of month. She says they last a long time and provide steady, soothing warmth without getting too hot like other brands. They’re super convenient, easy to use, and perfect for on-the-go relief. They are small and discreet. Definitely a must-have for anyone looking for comfort during that time of month!

Very handy to have. Gets hot and stays hot
