What is Spicey?
Spicey is your go-to brand for natural pain relief, offering non-medicinal heat therapy patches that provide a soothing alternative to opioids and costly medications. Our mission is to deliver effective, natural solutions for pain management, helping you live a more comfortable life.
Our Founding Story
Created by a Chronic Pain Warrior for serious relief, Hannah's journey with chronic pain began at just 8 years old. A doctor once told her parents that she might be dependent on opioids for life. This terrifying reality led her to natural solutions like heat therapy. After numerous doctor visits, diagnoses, and five surgeries, Hannah is now in recovery and dedicated to relieving your pain with Team Spicey.

Are the patches portable?
Yes! Spicey heat patches are portable and powerful. Our single-use patch is air-activated and requires no cords, plugs or batteries. Simple wear and go!
Does the Spicey heat patch have any smell or fragrance?
Nope, the Spicey heat patch is completely fragrance-free! Unlike some other products, our patches are designed to provide effective heat relief without any scents or fragrances. This makes them perfect for those who are sensitive to smells or prefer a neutral experience. You can enjoy the soothing warmth without any distractions.
How do I wear the Spicey heat patch? Is it visible under clothing?
Spicey heat patches (or "Spiceys") are meant to be worn on a thin layer of clothing. The patch is thin and flat, so it appears invisible under your clothing.
Will the Spicey adhesive damage my clothing?
No way! We worked closely with our manufacturing partner to develop a patch with a fabric-friendly adhesive. Spiceys will never damage your clothing.
Do Spicey heat patches expire?
Heat patches do expire, but only after several years. If you have old patches, you can still safely use them, though they might remain hot for a bit less than the standard 8-12+ hours.

I’ve tried Lidocaine patches and they hurt me. Is Spicey actually different?
Unlike Lidocaine patches, which can sometimes cause skin irritation or discomfort due to their medicinal content, Spicey patches are non-medicinal and nothing penetrates your skin. Spiceys provide a soothing heat that is gentle and safe for sensitive skin, making them an excellent alternative for those who have experienced discomfort with other patches.
