Heating Pad for Neck and Shoulders - Weighted, Microwavable Neck Warmer for Headaches, Soreness, and Discomfort - Reusable Cooling and Heated Neck Wrap - Self Care Products Black

December 21,2018. ( A five star product that now should be only a ONE star because of cost increase.)Note: sorry to say but this will likely be my LAST order for this wonderful product! The price has doubled and because of that I can no longer afford to use it. I had no problem with the $30 something price as that was a one third increase. But in LESS THAN A MONTH you double the price? Sorry someone is getting greedy! There is NO WAY that this product is worth almost $50 bucks a piece. I always order two and I will this time but now I have to go looking for a product again. Very sad because this product has served me well for almost two plus years. If I did not need to replace mine so frequently maybe I could justify the cost. I have always considered these part of my medical supply and treatment and ordered two almost every month. I am VERY disappointed in the company because I am VERY sure it costs no more than $10 dollars each to produce. Very very sad when companies decide to do massive price hikes just because ordering online is th easiest for some people. Upset, disappointed, frustrated and let down is what I am. I will say it again....how can a product 3 months ago be $27.99 each jump to $36.99 and in ONE MONTH jump AGAIN to $42.99? Seems to me the company has a get rich scheme going here, and I can no longer afford to be a part of it. I am VERY angry about this and the only reason I’m not changing my star rating is this product is so good.*******************I have Intractable Pain secondary to Malignant Fibromyalgia with Severe Daily Migraines that require constant heat to be applied to various locations on my body, including my neck and head. Due to my frequent use throughout each day I go through two of these heat packs every 30-45 days. BE ADVISED I USE THIS PRODUCT OUTSIDE THE RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTIONS THAT IS WHY I AM A FREQUENT ORDERER. I give this product a FIVE star but I do have two issues. 1. The black covering is great accept for the fact that it turns some of my clothing items grey and my fingers and fingernails turn grey/black. (I take this as being my frequent use during day as to why is happens.). 2. I have received at least 4 of these that the internal bag of beads breaks in 24-48 hours after initial use requiring my mom to sew the inner bag cover closed to contain the beads. Also, with the excessive use I require, I find that the beads become powder like and produce a dust that causes me to have to toss the items after 30-60 days. This being said, I believe this product to be the highest quality product as the soft outer cover makes it comfortable and retains the heat longer. One idea I have is maybe changing the color of the outer material and DOUBLE stitching the inner bag with the beads. Overall, highly recommend this product.UPDATE: I continue to use this product and stand by my five star rating. After reading some of the reviews of people who say it doesn’t keep its heat. At times this is true but NO HEAT OR COLD PACK unless pludgged in to electricity remains at a temperature for extended periods. I believe this has to do with the natural safety to prevent burning or frostbite. Due to frequent off-label use the moist feature sometimes gets dried out. To remositen it I do one of two things. 1. I put them outside for 24 hours or so. I live in Washington State and wet weather is the norm so this works. 2. Secondly, I often put them in the freezer for 24hours to achieve the same result. I have an do use them cold occasionally and they are equally a s good. Nothing in this day and age is perfect, however this product is as close to perfect as you can get. I also have noted that the manufacturer has improved the quality of them in their construction and longevity. Since my use is off-label as I use them infinitely longer than the instructions, they are by far the best ones I have used. Give them a try, you will be surprised and yes they are a bit heavy, but that is why they stay in position when moving around.Walking, laying in bed, not problem, the heat pack stays in place.

I thought it really helped my shoulders. I would like a second one to have in the office

I bought this particular one because my cousin, a Physical Therapist, said it’s what they sell in their office and he likes it. I use it for migraines when I’m too tense and need to relax my neck and shoulder muscles.It was easy to heat up, seems like it would fit anyone, it’s soft and there was no smell.I’m only giving 4 stars because I wish it would stay hot a little longer. But, I used to use an electric heating pad, so maybe I have misguided expectations.

My friends and I do a $50 white elephant gift exchange each Christmas and this was stolen the max amount of times. The heated feature plus the massaging was a great selling point!

I use microwave heating pads often so when I saw this I knew it was for me. I get a lot of tension in my neck and shoulder area. I heat this up and it feels wonderful and helps to relax those tense muscles. It is rather heavy as other reviewers have stated but that doesn't bother me. I also like that it does not have a scent.

This beaded wrap warmed up nicely in the microwave but it felt quite heavy on my shoulders. Got uncomfortable after a while.

I've seen reviews of this with pics showing burns. I have been using for a while now and have had no problems with any burns from heating in microwave. I put it on 1 min 30 secs and it does great. The weighted section is great for getting the heat to the area of the neck and the shoulders.

The first one I ordered arrived with a hole it. Returned it and tried again. I have had the second one for 10 days and it just exploded in the microwave. I burned my hand and now have tiny beads all over my microwave.Update: The company contacted me with an offer to send me another one to see if that worked better for. I accepted and told them after 30 days I would update my review so here it is. This is the third one I received and so far, pretty good. It is a bit heavy and doesn't seem to retain the heat as long as I would like/need, but it does relieve aches and pains. Given the company's follow up to my concerns, I have now given it 4 stars (up from one). I like a company that tries to do the right thing.

Excellent seller, can't fault their service at all, only comment I would make and it is related to the product, is that my wife thought it was a little on the heavy side, which I guess is needed to make the contact with the skin and keep it in place. Already having a bad shoulder this made it a little uncomfortable to begin with. However, once the pain has eased this issue goes away and it definitely works to relieve the pain for her, she uses it regularly as has an ongoing problem. Have only used hot so cannot comment about use as an Ice pack but suspect it would be just as good.

Muy cómoda y se mantiene bien el calor!

unbrauchbar für mich....

Excellent pour mes douleurs d'arthrose. Le poids lourd donne l'impression d'un message profond, très réconfortant. Produit hautement recommandé pour ceux qui aiment le sentiment profond de chaleur.
