Composition
FAQ: Heat Patches
WUKA Self-heating patches are designed to provide soothing on-the-go relief to help support painful and uncomfortable periods.
How do I use the heat patch?
1 - Open the packaging and take out the patch. 2 - Remove the backing to expose the adhesive side. 3 - Apply the patch to the outside of your undergarments, avoiding direct contact with the skin. 4 - Position the patch over the area of discomfort to ensure maximum relief.
Can heat patches be used on all fabrics?
Yes, heat patches can be used on most materials. However, natural fibers like cotton or linen have the highest heat tolerance and are ideal for use with heat patches. Synthetic fabrics such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic can be more heat-sensitive and may melt, deform, or discolor if exposed to high temperatures. Always check the fabric's heat tolerance before applying a patch. If the fabric you are wearing is very thin, the heat from the patch might transfer more directly to the skin, which could cause discom or fortburns.
Can the patches be applied directly to the skin?
No, to avoid burns or skin irritation, always place the patches on top of clothing and never directly on the skin.
Can I wear the patches while sleeping?
While the patches are safe, it's recommended to refrain from using them while sleeping to avoid adding pressure to the heated area (for example laying on your stomach with the WUKA Heat Patch applied to your abdomen) as this can cause the heat to intensify.
Can the patches be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, always consult with your healthcare provider before using the WUKA Heat Patches to ensure maximum safety for you.
Can the WUKA Heat Patches be used across all ages?
The patches can generally be used by individuals above 11 years of age. Due to the thinner, more sensitive skin young children should not use heat patches. Extra care should also be taken for anyone who has a skin or medical condition and/or reduced skin sensitivity.
Can I use multiple patches at the same time?
Yes, you can use multiple WUKA heat patches at the same time if you have discomfort in more than one area. However, make sure to follow the usage instructions for each patch and avoid overlapping them. Do not apply excessive heat to one area, as this may cause skin irritation or discomfort. If you're unsure, start with one patch and add another only if needed. Always prioritize comfort and safety when using WUKA heat patches.
Do the patches have any side effects?
The patches are generally safe to use. However, prolonged use of thin or synthetic clothing may cause excessive heat or burns. If you notice any irritation or discomfort, discontinue use immediately.
What should I do if the patch feels too hot?
If the patch feels too hot, remove it immediately and let your skin cool down. Ensure that it is being used over appropriate clothing and not directly on the skin.
What if the patch doesn’t heat up properly?
If the patch doesn’t heat up properly, it could be due to several reasons: Ensure the patch has been exposed to air for a few minutes before applying. The heating process is activated when the air-activated ingredients mix with oxygen, so it might take a minute or two to start warming up. Check the expiration date on the packaging to make sure the patch is still within its effective period. Avoid placing the patch in extreme temperatures before use, as it may affect its performance. If the patch still doesn't heat properly after following these steps, it’s best to contact customer support for assistance or replacement.
Can I reuse the WUKA Heat Patches?
No, WUKA Heat Patches are single-use products and should be disposed of after usage.
How should I store the WUKA Heat Patches?
Keep the heat patches in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Make sure they are stored out of reach of children and pets to ensure safety.
What is the best way to dispose of used patches?
WUKA Heat Patches should be disposed of in regular household waste once they are no longer needed. Do not flush them down the toilet or throw them in recycling bins, as they are not biodegradable. To dispose of the patch, simply cut the patch open and dispose of the biodegradable material in organic waste and place the outer shell in a waste bag or bin. Be sure to check the packaging for any specific disposal instructions, as environmental practices may vary depending on your location.
Are the WUKA Heat Patches biodegradable?
The material inside the heat patch is biodegradable. After use, you can cut the patch open, dispose of the biodegradable contents in organic waste, and discard the outer shell with regular waste. The outer packaging is not currently recyclable, and should be disposed of along with household waste. It’s important to note: this product is an approach from WUKA to learn if women find heat patches a helpful addition to managing their periods. We are launching this product with current technologies available. If you find it really works for you, let us know. With enough demand we can invest in new technologies to make the outer case more sustainable.
