Deep Heat

After applying I felt a mild stinging sensation (not heat) for a few minutes which then ceased. The patch warmed slightly after about 20 minutes, but even after four hours or so did nothing more than the initial warming... by maybe 2 degrees above body temp, although even that may have been from insulation rather than heating. A non-event of a product.

Not very adhesive, lacks heat, if you move the patch it won't adhere to the area, fell off!! Very disappointed in the product. Deepheat neck & joint patch DON'T BOTHER BUYING

I got the patches from a cousin of mine from australia, i was expecting something that’s gonna burn !?! Duh felt nothing at all, thought the patches are Expired “ it wasn’t “ so disappointed, won’t give it a 2nd try .
Waste of money.

Lower back pain I could hardly walk.
Decided when pain got to much I would try these patches.
Now I’m feeling happy and relieved I can move with a lot more ease.
These patches definitely worth a try.

As per directions the pad was applied . The earnings on packet stating the product may burn is laughable . DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY . O lol eave it on the shelf

I bought 2 boxes for my wife on the advice of her doctor after her shoulder surgery. We followed the instructions for the patch but never heated sufficiently to feel any benefit. I even tried the second box still a very lame result.

I'm as cynical about patent medicines as the next person, but I get more symptomatic relief (arthritis in my feet) from Deep Heat cream than I do from anything else I've tried.

After a big day of lifting, cleaning and gardening, this product really helped my lower back. Easy to wear, heat kicks in straight away, my back pain felt relieved almost immediately. I would definitely buy this product again.

I’m still waiting for the patch to heat up. I followed instructions to the letter. Pack is well in date but the patch just hasn’t heated up at all...very disappointed I use the deep heat roller and it’s excellent so what’s the problem with the patch?

This product should be investigated by trading standards. Absolutely no heat from the patch whatsoever and no relief from the pain. Would be better taking a couple of paracetamol! Completely false advertising.

I have had to deal with a sore back for years and i have found deep heat arthritis cream very effective. It heats up very quickly and give me 12 hour relief. Well priced at woolies supermarkets

Had shoulder pain, tried these deep heat patches and they Didn’t heat up at all - did absolutely nothing ! Epic Waste of money ! Don’t waste your time. Won’t Be buying again

I'm really surprised at the negative comments. Especially about the patches not being hot. I have found them to be VERY hot and they have certainly helped with my acutely sore lower back problem. I can absolutely say that after applying a patch across my lower back at 10am; it was still warm come 10pm that night. From my own personal experience, I can thoroughly recommend this product.

Bought recently to alleviate left wrist pain due to this year's winter riding season.
On my 3rd patch now, doing tests this time.

Room temp 23.7 C
Patch temp 36.4 C( thermometer securely taped onto top of patch)
(as I write this review, patch temp now stable at 37.2C, but still no pain relief)

So while that's a 13-14 C increase, the actual sensation one feels is not hot heat; it's not even warm heat, it's far more a lame tepid warmth: one that you don't even notice unless you focus your attention on it.

Thus after 2 hours ( for each of the first 2 patches), they go completely cold. Noting that 2 hrs is 6 hrs less than the claimed 8hrs operational time of these patches....

Thought I would give this a go, the gel is great but it has strong smell and gets into clothes, sheets etc. But this heat patch, is just fraud, there is no heat.
