Amazon shoppers say £2 migraine and headache product is 'better than tablets'

An Amazon shopper has shared details of a £1.60 migraine and headache product, and others have been quick to praise its usefulness.

The online retailer sells Kool 'n' Soothe Migraine Cooling Strips in packs of four for the price of £1.57.

The strips are intended to be stuck onto your forehead, or the back of your neck, if you start experiencing a migraine or a headache.

According to the product description, the strips — which do not need to be refrigerated — offer "immediate cooling relief" for up to eight hours.

They are also non-medicated, meaning you can use them in conjunction with more traditional oral medication.

Taking to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group to share their thoughts, the Amazon shopper wrote: "My friend just sent me this! What a bargain for these I had to share with you all! We use them all the time for when we have temperatures & migraines definitely going to stock up!"

It wasn't long before hundreds of other members of the group left comments giving their own opinion on the headache strips, and many had nothing but positive things to say.

One wrote: "I have chronic migraines, I’m under a neurologist and have Botox for them and these are the best, even better than medication".

"I love these they help so much I bought some the other day," a second shared.

A third revealed: "Yes brilliant used these for years I am a chronic migraine suffer and I use them when I go to bed mainly they are soothing since I got older my migraines got a lot worse but I have to carry on."

Another agreed: "I swear by these - every time I get a migraine I pop one on before bed. Brilliant."

One Facebook user agreed: "These are brilliant! Used them during my pregnancies whenever I had a headache as didn't want to take pills, worked wonders."

Meanwhile another added: "I always buy them from Amazon, it’s the cheapest I have found them. We go through a lot of them as myself and my husband both suffer from migraines."

Other members of the group suggested different retailers where customers could pick up the strips, with one commenting: "These are really good I use them all the time when I have a bad headache I buy them in Poundland."

A second suggested: "Home bargains and savers sell them pretty cheap! My daughter has them all the time due to her migraines! Brilliant things."

A third meanwhile revealed: "They are £1.65 in Sainsbury's. Brought some today."
