Preparation HRapid Relief Hemorrhoid Cream with Lidocaine, Numbing Relief for Swelling, Pain, Burning and Itching - 1 Oz Tube

This particular Prep H has Lidocaine, and it is a numbing effect. While this might be more expensive it is the best choice for those who have issues.

Delivered immediately and gives relief in minutes.

This is the only cream I have found that works. It sooths in a matter of minutes. The spray is even better. While it’s quite pricey, I don’t mind because it lasts awhile and it actually works.

The waiting on the product to be delivered I have never had to wait this long for other items from amazon.

I love the lidocaine. It does what I need it to do

Oh man!!! This saved my bum.... literally. Towards the end of my pregnancy I sprouted some unsightly and uncomfortable hemorrhoids, and then the birth happened. My backside was a warzone that lit up at the slightest touch, not to mention the road less traveled between there and the front line where I received an episiotomy. After the initial 24 hour wait, this tube of bliss was threatening to replace my husband on the list of most important things in my life.But seriously, it's a higher lidocaine concentration than my midwife could have wrote me a prescription for. Amazing that it's topical bc I had enough pills to pop as it was. Easy to apply, a little goes a LONG way. I used this every time I went to the bathroom for about 5 or 6 weeks and I still have half the tube left. Works wonders for more than just sphincters. I now buy a tube for every expectant mom that I know as part of their gift.

Product itself is very effective in reducing hemmie pain that is normally so bad that I can't function. Trying to grip the small and very soft tube to open the child-proof lid is an exercise that I dread going through again. It took me 30 minutes to get this strange lid off! The product itself is awesome, but you can't hold the squishy little tube and use brute force to push the cap down and then twist it open. There is nothing rigid anywhere on the soft tube from one end to the other to hold on to. I honestly don't know how it finally came off. I was afraid the whole time that I would tear the tube or twist it so badly that when the lid finally came off, all the cream would just spurt out everywhere! This tube proved to almost be adult-proof as well as child-proof!I can walk into a Walmart and buy it for $2 less ($17.99 instead of $19.99 for one-time purchase on Amazon), but since I'm having a problem walking through big box stores (or anywhere else for that matter), and I needed it almost immediately, I ordered from this Amazon seller and received it very fast with Prime! The premium of an extra $2 was worth it to me. However, if this seller decides to increase the cost another $1 or $2 then I might need to reevaluate my next purchase of the product from them.PRODUCT EFFECTIVENESS: 5 stars - the cream works with 5% Lidocaine!PRODUCT DESIGN: 1 star because of lid opening design - almost adult-proof! Horrible experience that took 30 minutes to open! Several negative reviews on here mention lid design as being a problem. It is actually both the lid itself and the soft squishy tube with no rigid area that causes the problem. There is no place to grip the soft tube so that force can be used to push the little lid down and then twist it off.PRODUCT SHIPPING PACKAGE: 2 stars because of the thin padded envelope instead of a sturdy little shipping box. The tube and the product box inside the shipping envelope were severely squished and the product box was half smashed. It was a miracle that there was not cream all over the inside of the envelope.OVERALL RATING ON AMAZON FOR THIS: 3 stars.If the seller will ship the product in a small protective box making it almost impossible to squish or smash the tube, I will give this 4 stars on Amazon. If makers of Prep H will redesign the lid or make the tube more rigid to accomplish easier opening, I will give it 5 stars on Amazon.

I usually purchase Preparation H at the store and decided to check on Amazon. So glad I purchased one here! I checked the date on the box, as the reviews recommend. It's the same date as the one I purchased at the store, 02/2025. I'm Very happy the product!!
