Icy Hot Extra Strength Medicated Patch, XL Back & Large Areas, 3 Count

These Icy Hot XL patches are a great option when you need targeted pain relief over a larger area. The extra-large size works especially well for my back. I really like the combination of the cooling menthol sensation followed by a gentle warming feeling—it provides soothing relief without being messy like creams. The fabric patch is comfortable, stays in place well, and is easy to apply. I also appreciate being able to put one on and go about my day without constantly reapplying anything. These are convenient to keep on hand for occasional aches, soreness, and muscle discomfort. Overall, a very handy and effective pain-relief product!

I bought this expecting three boxes (3 count as labelled in product description and as shown in the product images) but only received 1 box with 3 patches inside - instead of 3 boxes each with 3 patches inside. Quite frankly, $18 for 1 box of icy hot with just 3 patches is really ridiculous. Reading through these reviews, I see this is a consistent problem with this product - some people get 3 boxes with 9 patches total and other gets 1 box with just 3 patches total.

Good

I use these for back pain and they work well for me. The XL size covers a good area and they actually stick really well without constantly peeling off or moving around. Definitely nice to have on hand when my back is bothering me.

There's nothing to compare to Icy Hot patches or cream. As someone recently diagnosed with AXSPA, I should own stock in icy hot. I could sit in a bathtub full of the stuff =) While this particular product has only 3 patches, I cut them to fit and it makes at least six normal sized patches. They stick amazingly. As for the smell, you aren't hurting bad enough if the smell bothers you. A great product.
