If you have a pain relief patch, this product is for you.

They are great for keeping my bandage from hurting. I like this size as it easily covers my sore spot with lots of "overhang". I sweat a lot when I work (HVAC) in the summer and extra coverage on my patch helps a lot to keep the patch in place. Sometimes some of the sides come loose from sweat and I can just cut off the loose sections and my sore band will still be protected. I only gave it 4 stars because every once in a while I get one that the edges don't stick well to my skin and it peels off easily, but most stick very well on the first use. Wearing a patch for pain is DIFFERENT, but if I want to work I have to wear one. (I sustained a nerve injury in my back 2 years ago after a very long procedure). And the way the media portrays people on pain patches infuriates doctors, so it's not worth explaining to a doctor about losing a pain patch through sweating. It's just easier to use this product for patch protection no matter the cost. Yes, it's sad that drug addicts looking for a high have made life very difficult for chronic pain sufferers like me, but until all this hysteria is over it's best to just do your best, to protect what you have, because there are Few doctors left Whoever has the courage to treat patients with chronic pain must also protect themselves. So there's no question of telling him or her that you've lost a band-aid or two because they're not sticking. Sorry for the tirade, but it's about time people with chronic pain weren't looked down on and thought we were doing something wrong. Without the badge, I couldn't work, pay taxes, or take care of my family. Therefore I protect my patches with this product.
