Roihi-tsuboko Patches 78 Big Size by Nichiban

I really like this patch. It's a little circle that comes. It is very strong, maybe for an hour, when I use this patch. It did heal my pain in the ankle tendon.

My go to hot patch

I had a neck pain as I hold my baby for too long. It resolved my problem in a day. Also helped me got rid of the numbness on my wrist

I bought these to see if they worked as well as another Japanese brand of plaster patches and these were not at same level but worked really strong on thin areas like the inner elbow and less effective on the knees and thicker muscle areas. But I do like the size and it stays on for about 8 hours before it stops working. Do no reapply as the glue will not stick as well as compared to first installation.

Ease in handling and putting them on

I first experienced these patches in Japan. After long days of walking, I got these patches and they worked perfectly! When returning home, I ran out and found them available on Amazon! Any time I have a muscle ache (my back or leg, etc.) I use these. The size is perfect to target the pain areas.

Small patches are nice but they are a little too much for such a small space. Certainly helps but the rectangular pads or even the invisible liquids do better.

When I tell you these little guys pack a helluva punch...I mean it! Better than Icy Hot or Salon Pas, a coworker loaned me a few and now I've convinced my best friend and husband to use them. THEY WORK!
