They work, and they are a great value but DO NOT APPLY TO SKIN!!!!
Or as we say in tech, Read The Friendly Directions (RTFM)
These patches are amazing. They have more heat than alternative patches on the market and are incredible to help pain related to back pain, muscular or arthritic. Although I often put directly on my skin, this is generally not advised because they get a little too hot. A burn may be proceeded by itching. If you apply on the inside or outside of a tight undershirt, they won't move as has been a problem with other users. This avoids overheating, a skin burn, but keeps patch on the area of skin to maximize benefit. They also last a long time.... at least 10 hrs.
My wife has severe nerve pain in her hip, us uses electric heating pads when sitting or in bed which help.
We looked at several types of pads that could be used when away from an electric socket and none were appropriate.
We ordered these and immediately she realized these were perfect. Being cautious, she did not put them against her skin but outside her underwear. Actually, she did not think they were hot enough, but they did help the pain, so she is wearing them all the time when up and about.
I tried one on my lumbar area and it felt great, even though I did not need it.
Good product and easy to use
I have purchased similar brand name and generic products at drugstores and Walmart, but they are considerably more $$ than this product. We did not find any difference in the efficacy of this product compared to others we have used and the price is much more economical for frequent users. The patch stays warm for hours and does not smell.
Recovering from multiple back injuries, I use a Sunny Bay heating patch every single night. In fact, I can't sleep through the night without it. Because my skin is sensitive to adhesive, I stick the patch to the inside of a used ThermaCare heat wrap for the lower back. (Basically, it's a woven, flexible Velcro belt.) In this way, I can easily move the location of heat from my back to my hip in the middle of the night. Since I'm getting better, I no longer need a patch the size of the ThermaCare heat wrap and Sunny Bay allows me to heat a smaller area. I sleep better with the targeted heat and my daily costs are lower, too. At the time of this writing, the Sunny Bay heat patch costs about $1.50 a night, while the ThermaCare heat wrap for lower back costs around $2.90 a night, if and when I get a super good price on EBay. Overall, I'm very grateful to find this product. I took off a star, only because I can't re-position the heat patch and because my skin is sensitive to adhesive. Otherwise, this is quite a bargain. Since I'm a daily user, I expect to save around $40/month with this product.

These pads work very well although I am used to sticking the pad on the skin. These are made to stick to your outer ware such as a T-shirt or shorts without skin contact. But, heck, they work and are a great buy. They can even be reused if you put them in an airtight bag if you don't need them for the entire 8 hours.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Much thicker than expected, as I'd been using the wafer-thin kind that sticks to your skin. Those also retain heat for at least 8 hours, and frankly, i think it's worth paying a bit more for them. I have found the non-medicated ones hard to find though.
These Sunny Bay patches are okay, stay warm a long time, but they are weightier and bulkier, and obviously if they are on your clothing and not your skin, they don't stay put as easily - especially if you are trying to use them on your abdomen. They're not that bad, though, much better than the original Thermacare ones, which were ridiculously heavy. The best thing about these patches is you can stick them to your (older) child's stuffed toy to comfort her if she has a stomachache, and I don't worry about them burning her.
I was very pleased with this product since I get extremely painful cramps while on my time of the month. I received this item on the last day of my lady time and it helped me feel comfortable enough to be able to sleep throughout the night which I normally wouldn’t be able to. You really do get a good deal for your money. Highly recommended.
These are the most economical and easily secured air activated patches I have found. They have helped my frozen shoulder pain a lot and are used daily.

Second box I've purchased. Easy to apply, follow package instructions. Do NOT apply directly to your skin, put over clothing. I have been using these on the bottom of my right foot. Keeps my foot warm, actually helps to keep me warm all over! I truly like these, I wish they were a tad smaller seeing as I'm using on my foot, but overall, they do what they say they will do and they do last all day.
