"The small patches with methyl salicylate work great! The large patches with lidocaine do nothing, don’t stick, and are pretty much a waste of time and money."

"I have used the patches for 15 years. Somebody got the bright idea to change the material - probably bought out by another company, and they don't stick at all. Waste of money. So sad."

"I got this for back pain, and I could not get the patch to stay on. It seemed to help while it was on, but would not stay. I did clean the skin before application."

"Another rip-off from the medical business people; unable to use it as it only wadded up into a ball. If I can't get it to stay in shape in front of me, how am I supposed to get it onto my back?"

"Useless patches that you can’t get on without wrinkles in the patch or having it fold over. I like the patches my friend brings me from China. First and last time I will ever try Salonpas."

"Bad. Does not stick. Applied and starts curling before I could get to the bedroom. Waste. This was not just one time problem. Used product years ago, little holes, those stayed on. Not solid ones."

"I had a bad reaction to the patch. My lips and tongue went numb, very bad taste in mouth. I got very tired. I do not think I can take it again. I applied it to my hip, no skin reaction."
