I like them, I get mine from Defy, probably not the cheapest. I think they work better than the pills. Sometimes I will put one in a baggie in my pocket and have ad zero issues. But I haven't done that during the summer in the heat, it might melt

Thanks fellas, I'll give it another shot

I have recently started taking 5mg of Cialis daily. The results have been great, best erections in years. After a week I started experiencing horrible back pain, to the point where I couldn't hardly get up. it took a few days but I finally figured out it is the Cialis and it is a known side...
