Question 1

Which would be better to buy the roll-on or the spray on?

Accepted Answer

My preference of the three forms (roll-on, gel pump, and spray) is the spray as I feel it is stronger, lasts longer, and is colorless. What may work best for you depends on where you need to apply it and how large an area you need to cover. For back pain, the spray is the way to go because you can use the spray bottle at any angle, it is easy to apply by yourself, and dries quickly. For smaller areas (arms, legs) that are easy to see fully and reach, the gel or roll-on might be preferable as you can control where you apply it better. Another consideration -- the gel and roll-on is green so you need to ensure you've got it rubbed in well or it will stain clothing, whereas the spray is clear. I'm considering trying the roll-on again as it would be more convenient to carry than the 4oz. spray, but my initial experience with it (probably mid-1980s) wasn't favorable as it didn't come out smoothly and still required rubbing in to remove excess. I'm considering trying the colorless version of the roll-on or gel, provided it contains ILEX. NOTE:  The spray is very strong, so if you try it, I'd avoid breathing in the mist. I usually go to a vacant room to apply it, then quickly exit. The smell dissipates quickly but it provides relief for many hours.

Question 2

Can this roll-on be taken on an airplane?

Accepted Answer

No, they will not let you. But you might be able to have it in your plastic bag that you show. Check how much liquid is allowed on the flight. I have had mine taken when I have flown. So I pack it.

Question 3

how much menthol is in each one?

Accepted Answer

They've raised it to 4% this year but old bottles are still 3.5%. They used to have Camphor in it too. Since it only has Menthol now you're better served going to Wal-Mart & buying Equate Cool & Heat with 16% Menthol. 2.5 oz roll-on for $3.83.
