Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- The 10cm x 14cm sheet is the biggest here, made for a back or a shoulder blade in one piece
- Hydrogel on breathable non-woven backing, so it peels off without leaving sticky residue
- Cool variant, so it soothes a fresh strain instead of heating it up
- Tiger Balm is a century-old brand, and this comes from Watsons' Shopee Mall store
✗ Cons
- Two plasters per pack, so it is a one-off rather than a course of treatment
- Gentler actives than a Salonpas patch: 1g of camphor per 100g of paste is a mild dose
- The large sheet crumples on a joint that bends, so it is best on flat areas
- Cooling only, with nothing in the formula that reduces swelling
The Tiger Balm Plaster Cool Large is our Best cooling plaster: a 10cm x 14cm sheet, the biggest in our ranking, on a hydrogel backing that peels off clean.
Is a bigger sheet actually better?
For the right sore spot, yes.
At 10cm x 14cm this covers more area than any other patch here. The large Salonpas sheet is 7cm x 10cm, and the small Salonpas patch is 6.5cm x 4.2cm. On a lower back or across a shoulder blade, one Tiger Balm plaster does what two or three small patches would.
That comes with an obvious limit. A big sheet does not follow a curve. On a knee or an elbow it wrinkles as the joint bends, and once a corner lifts the whole thing works loose. This is a plaster for flat areas.
How does it feel, and how does it come off?
The formula is milder than a medicated patch, and that is worth setting expectations around. Per 100g of paste: camphor 1.0g, menthol oil 0.6g, eucalyptus oil 0.5g and menthol 0.3g. Against a Salonpas patch carrying 36mg of methyl salicylate and 33mg of menthol in a much smaller area, this is a gentle dose spread wide.
The result is a cool, soothing sensation rather than the strong medicinal bite of a methyl salicylate patch. Some people prefer that. Some will find it does not do enough.
Where it genuinely stands out is the removal. The hydrogel on non-woven ventilated backing peels off without leaving a sticky border, and the backing breathes, which matters when it sits on skin for hours in Philippine heat.
Is the Tiger Balm Plaster Cool Large sulit?
Around ₱98 as of August 30, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee.
Two plasters works out near ₱49 each, which is expensive per use: roughly ten times a Salonpas Medicated Patch and double the large Salonpas sheet.
The area argument softens that a little, since one of these replaces two or three small patches. It does not close the gap. What you are paying for is a century-old brand, a gentle formula, a clean peel and the biggest sheet on the shelf, bought through Watsons’ Shopee Mall store.
As a two-pack it is best read as a trial: buy it to find out whether the big-sheet approach suits your back, then buy a larger pack if it does.
Who the Tiger Balm Plaster Cool Large suits
Buy this if your sore spot is broad and flat and you want something gentler than a medicated patch, or if adhesive residue and skin irritation have put you off patches before. It is the right choice for an occasional bad back day rather than a daily routine. If you want the strongest patch dose you can get, or you need enough to last a week, buy Salonpas instead.
If the Tiger Balm Plaster Cool Large is not right
If you want a stronger dose on a still-large sheet, the Salonpas Pain Relief Patch 5s carries 105mg of methyl salicylate on a 7cm x 10cm patch, five to a box. If you want the cheapest cost per patch and your sore spot is a joint, the Salonpas Medicated Patch 40s gives you 40 smaller patches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Tiger Balm Cool and Warm plasters?
Cool leads with menthol and eucalyptus for a cooling sensation, which suits a fresh strain or a hot, tight muscle. Warm plasters add capsicum, which produces heat and suits an old, stiff muscle that responds to warmth. This listing is the Cool variant. If you specifically want heat, buy the Warm version instead, because the two feel completely different on the skin.
What is in the Tiger Balm Cool plaster?
Per 100g of paste: camphor 1.0g, menthol oil 0.6g, eucalyptus oil 0.5g and menthol 0.3g. Those are gentler doses than a Salonpas patch carries, which is worth knowing before you buy. It is a milder plaster with a bigger footprint, not a stronger one.
Does it leave residue when you peel it off?
No, and that is one of its genuine strengths. Tiger Balm uses a hydrogel layer on a non-woven ventilated backing rather than a heavy adhesive, so it comes off cleanly and does not leave the sticky border that some medicated patches do. The ventilated backing also breathes, which helps in Philippine heat.
Is two plasters enough?
It is a trial size rather than a course of treatment. Two plasters covers one bad back day, or two if you use them on consecutive days. If you know this format works for you, larger multi-packs exist and are far better value per plaster. Buy this pack to find out whether the big-sheet approach suits you.
