XL Heating Pad for Neck and Shoulders and Back, Microwavable Heating Pads, Microwave Heating Pad Microwavable, Natural Moist Heat Therapy Pad with Washable Cover. Heat Pad Microwavable, 1 Piece 22x13”

This moist heating pad works beyond expectation. I’ve used it for about half a year and I must say I’m pleasantly pleased by the continuous moist heat it provides unfailingly. The weight is just right to keep it the pad in place and let the heat seep in. I use it to calm my herniated disc cervical pain, back pain and sometimes sore sheen muscles. With this big size, I wonder whether a seam down across the middle could prevent the beads moving in one direction. I find this clay bead option neutral and much better than the grain options in terms of smell with the grains options having an odour (eg lavender) that eventually becomes unpleasant over time. I also find this much better that the heating clay pads many physiotherapists tend to have and which don’t really make adequate contact with the body. I was convinced enough to willingly ship this twice from the US to germany which costed much. It would be nice to have it available on Amazon.de at an affordable cost.

I've been struggling with sciatica in my right calf for over 3 years. I've tried many things and during some Physical Therapy, they used heat to help soften/loosen my muscles prior to manual manipulation/massage. I guess PT places use a special "hydroculator" unit which produces moist heat in a special manner. You can get one for home for like $1k but hahaha I wasn't willing to spend that. So I found this heating pad which produces similar moist heat and provides comparable relief. The pad stays heated for a long time, it heats evenly, and it has a nice medium weight to it. which I like when laying on my stomach and having it rest on my lower back. That helps it stay in place if I shift a little bit. I've also used it for "icing" and put it in the freezer. Be sure to put it in a zip-lock back to avoid it absorbing any smells from other things in the freezer. Overall it's a great heating pad, and moreover, the company and customer service is excellent! It developed a break in one of the seams and beads started falling out here and there. I tried things like tape but then you can't really microwave it. So I recently got a "marketing" email company checking in to see how everything is going... I wrote back not expecting a response for a day or two; but shockingly got a reply in 30 minutes!!! Joyce at the company offered to send a replacement right away, and said I'd get it in about a week. Low and behold it arrived literally 2 days later! I appreciate that the company has the customer's back and is willing to do the right thing to stand behind the quality of their products Highly recommended!!!

This weighted heating pad does a nice job, it's much better than a regular heating pad. I use this when I have a sore shoulder from working out, and it does a great job. The weighting makes it stay in place and puts more heat on the shoulder, and the heat is moist and feels better than a regular heating pad. The clay beads can be a little challenging to disperse evenly, but otherwise I think this is a very good product.

Love this so much, ordered one for my sister for Christmas!! It covers you entire back and holds heat!!!

I've bought several of these over the past 5 years. They last well, but eventually start to smell of the clay beads. I think mine last about 8 months to 1 year of using it 1x/week. I think mine would last longer if I used the liner/cover that it comes with, but I don't. I like the size, the beads are evenly distributed across my muscles, and retains heat well.

I ordered this pad because I have chronic shoulder and neck pain from an injury from long ago and I use both heat and ice packs depending on how I'm feeling that day. I found this and thought it was cool that I could use it for both hot and cold. I wanted something that had weight to it, not just a regular heating pad. When it came I was really surprised by the weight. It feels substantial...not like a plastic heating pad. I also liked that I didn't have to plug it in. It was bigger than expected so I had to fold it over twice to fit it in the microwave so my turntable would turn. The first try I heated it too long so I had to wait a minute to take it out. Next time I'll just heat it in 1 min intervals. It really does steam and there was some moisture but it was really nice. The heat was even all the way through and there weren't any hot spots. The pad is large enough to cover my whole back which is nice, and it stayed warm for about 15 minutes before it started to cool down. I also wanted to try it cool because I use ice pack quite a bit. Left in my freezer overnight in a plastic bag as the instructions. It wasn't as cold as I expected it to be...like my ice packs are, but it turns out I really liked that. Because it wasn't frozen like an ice pack and the material is soft I didn't even need to lay a towel across my skin. I just draped it over my shoulders. It's really hard to describe the sensation, it was cool...refreshing and relaxing. The best I can describe how it feels when you are hot and take a shower that is not cold...but cool. I really enjoyed it! It folds good so I could drape it across my neck and shoulders and because it has weight too it, it didn't slip off. When I use my gel or traditional ice packs, I have to use something to hold them on or lay against something. With this pad, I can just sit up and it stays around my neck and shoulders. Really glad I found this.

Works fine.

The heating pad itself is nice. But I paid the extra money for this one because it came with a cover. Regretting it now. The cover is very cheaply made and it is missing the other side of the velcro to keep it closed. Plus, it's about an inch shorter than the actual pad, so the pad keeps slipping out of the cover. I would have been better off buying the cheaper heating pad and using a pillow case as a cover.

Finally I got heavy enough product which doesn’t need some one to press on it… wonderful

It is great for my neck and problems, and was a life-saver when I had covid (for back pains). I need a bigger version of this which doesn't exist, so I will order at least one more.. it is not cheap but the health benefits make it worth it.. I would love to have 10 of these all heated up. just like a hot sand bath I guess. but it is a shame that it last about 10min and then you need to reheat it...
