4% lidocaine is the highest non-prescription strength you can get over the counter. I have really bad lower back pain and seek out anything to help. These patches are on the smaller side for me but they got the job done. The pain did lessen a bit for a noticeable 4 hours approximately.
I was able to wear it for the whole day and it did not peel or anything. The back of it that rubs against the clothes feel pretty smooth, like some sort of synthetic material, like polyester or something.
They come in a pack of 5 for total of 25 patches
Convenient size, 3x5". Thin, flexible and comfortable. They stick well and stay put even under clothes. They are easily removed without residue. The adhesive doesn't really hold up to removing and repositioning though. Scent free and non-irritating.
Works as well as any 4% lidocaine patch I have used and they last the work day or overnight.
Unusually these are packaged 5 to a foil pouch and, despite the product page saying "resealable pouch", they are not resealable. They are however easy to open, a welcome change from most.
Excellent value for a large package. Perfect for those that need these regularly.
Product of USA.
Works great! The patches are delivered in 5 foil packs with 5 patches in each foil pack. At a dollar a patch this isn't the cheapest pain relief but far from the most expensive. I wish the foil pouches were resealable, but I suspect if you need them, they will be used before they go bad. The application is straight forward, and we had no issues with adhesion. I simply can't find a good reason for taking away even one star.
I have plantar fasciitis and lidocaine patches are the best way for me to manage flare ups. I was actually having foot pain when my package was delivered, so the patch was on my foot within minutes of getting my box!
Inside the box - 5 foil packages, and there are 5 lidocaine patches in each foil pouch.
The patches themselves are thin, 3" x 5", just peel and stick. Slightly stretchy, easily applied to the skin. Noticed that it started working in just a few minutes. I like that these are thinner than some other patches that I've tried and will work well with wearing shoes. Twenty-five (25) patches come in this box, and that is a good amount that should last a while.
These are really nice patches. They are nice and big and they are super sticky. So sticky, that you really need to be careful when you`re putting it on because it`s going to stick to everything as you try.
The patches are very nice fabric feeling patch and is very thin. Easily worn, undetectable under clothing or even in my case on my leg under my boot. I have no idea that I`m wearing it except that the pain is subsided. No odors and is a nice bright white color so they aren`t too distracting under clothing.
I ordered and received the AI Patch Numbing Pain Relief 4% Lidocaine Patches. There are 5 lidocaine pouches in each of 5 sealed pouches for a total of 25 pouches in the box. Each patch is 3 inches x 5 inches. I really appreciate that there are no parabens in this lidocaine. Most other brand lidocaine patches that I have tried do contain this ingredient and it is something that I try to avoid. I appreciate the clean ingredients and the short list of ingredients in these patches. I also like that these patches contain 4% lidocaine which makes them as effective as others with the same amount of lidocaine. These are quality patches with clean ingredients and they are a good value for the money.
Works great! The patches are delivered in 5 foil packs with 5 patches in each foil pack. At a dollar a patch this isn't the cheapest pain relief but far from the most expensive. My adult daughter suffers from back pain and these work great for her. I wish the foil pouches were resealable, but I suspect if you need them, they will be used before they go bad. Application is straight forward, and we had no issues with adhesion. I simply can't find a good reason for taking away even one star.
I`ve been using these patches for a few weeks now and they`ve made a huge difference in how I manage daily aches and pains since I am not taking a lot of antinflammatories like I used to, and my stomach is so grateful for it.
The 4% lidocaine is very effeective and it starts works pretty fast. how effectively it numbs the discomfort in my lower back and shoulders. The patches stick well without irritating my skin, and they`re thin enough to wear under clothes and I love that they don't have any stron smell, so I can use during the day to go to work.
The patches are very well-designed for ease of use. A notable feature is how thin the patches are, allowing them to conform smoothly and discreetly to the body. Upon application, there is an immediate and distinct cooling sensation; they feel quite cold when you first put them on. Which is a very refreshing and soothing initial experience.
This contains a generous quantity of 25 patches, each measuring 3" x 5". This size is versatile for covering different areas. The quality of the material is impressive, offering a flexible and low-profile feel that is comfortable to wear.
I'm really happy with these Lidocaine patches. Like many others, they're 4% lidocaine as an active ingredient. There aren't many other ingredients to worry about, other than the adhesive and polysorbate 80 (just an emulsifier that's in pretty much everything). The difference between lidocaine patches is more about the delivery and packaging. These are plentiful (25 in the box) and a great size - about the size of an index card. They are also wonderfully thin - so they will fit under your sock inside your shoe, for people that are using it for foot pain like I am. I've had good luck with them staying in place, and the pain relief is exactly what I needed.

These 4% Lidocaine patches are a game-changer for managing back, neck, shoulder, and joint discomfort. They adhere well and provide targeted relief, helping to dull pain quickly without the need for oral medication. The pack of 25 patches offers great value and ensures I have plenty on hand for ongoing relief. Easy to apply and remove, they don't cause irritation and are discreet under clothing. Highly recommend for anyone seeking fast, localized pain relief
I've been dealing with carpal tunnel for many years and had recently been having a very bad flare up, to the extent that I was having a hard time grasping things because the pain was so sharp. These patches helped ease the pain tremendously. I wouldn't say it eliminated it 100 percent, but it made it where I could at least operate my hand without wincing in pain. It gave me a bridge where I could avoid taking NSAIDs while I rested my hand to the extent possible and waited for the flare to dissipate. I appreciated having something I can lean on to relieve my pain other than systemic medication. I try to avoid taking OTC pain relievers when I can, so I'm going to be making sure I have these patches in my medicine cabinet for future flare-ups. They covered the area where I was dealing with pain without being overly large. They adhere to the skin easily while still being fairly easy to remove. I have sensitive skin, but I had a patch on the same area for about 30 hours (I reapplied a couple of times) and didn�t experience any redness, itchiness, or rash. Since it was on my wrist, it got wet when I washed my hands but for the most part it stayed put. Only the corner that stretched out onto the middle of the back of my hands peeled up after hours of wear when I was going about my day, using my hands, and washing them frequently (I wash my hands a lot). It only left a little bit of adhesive on my skin when I removed the last one, and I found I was able to just remove it with a bit of rubbing with my fingers. The fabric backing of the patches is smooth and flexible, allowing for comfort during wear. I think these are worth trying for anyone who has localized pain. They are a good value considering how well they function to reduce pain, how comfortable they are to wear, and the very reasonable price per patch.
My wife is a nurse, and she said these bandages look just like the ones they use in the hospital. They are well packaged and come in thick aluminum foil pouches that are easy to open. It would be nice if the pouches were resealable, though. The box states to keep unused patches in an airtight container, so it would just make sense that the pouches would be resealable, but they are not.
The patches themselves work well. They are easy enough to put on, and they do help reduce mild pain.
These 4% Lidocaine patches do work, they do help relieve some of the pain. I used two patches on my shoulder, which is perpetually in pain from day to day.
I do wish these patches were a little thicker. They are very thin, so that when I attempted to place one on my shoulder, it kept folding onto itself, and I had to keep unsticking the patch from itself to smooth it out over my shoulder. I think if they were a little thicker, this might not be as much of a problem.
Once they are on, they stay in place pretty well, and seem effective for turning the pain down a couple of notches.
I also very much appreciate that these patches are made in the USA.
