Portable Heating Pads for Muscle & Joint Pain Relief, 8 Count

I originally started buying this product locally from the grocery stores in Omaha. But since the plague arrived, they are actually hard to find all the time now. So, I started ordering from this company & am really pleased with the price, delivery reliability & the actual product. This product actually really does work. I use it on my lower back/hips when I sleep primarily. But it works if I have to do errands in the day time also. I don't have any problem with it slipping/moving. It does get quite warm, so if you have "tender" skin try a package from your local store first. I have a friend who is super tender & touchy-she thought she could cut them in half- then would only get 1/2 the heat..wrong. This is NOT a criticism-just a a heads up.

First up, I actually ordered these by accident. But, it wound up being a good accident. I didn't realize Thermacare had added a new option to their product line. These are slightly smaller than the neck ones but give you more control of placement say when putting on a swollen hand. I have used Thermacare since the year they hit the market. By chance, I was at what used to be called, Jam on the River, and Thermacare had a booth set up with free samples. I was a few weeks out from major back surgery. When I found this booth little did I know how much of a godsend it was. I had pushed myself a bit too far that day. I immediately put on a back Thermacare. Just the soothing heat it provided got me home comfortably and continued to keep me comfortable throughout the night. I continue to use these as my line of soothing an achy or stiff neck, back spasms, to my newest hip pain. With the hip pain I not only get pain in my hip but also back, buttocks and groin area. I can almost mimic my hip brace with the available line of Thermacare products or just select one to target a specific area. The fact that these last 16 hours or longer gives you confidence that the product will not only stay in place but give you a continuous heat to help soothe your aching parts. The nicest part is you almost forget that you're wearing it. They fit almost invisibly under your clothing. They don't add any real bulk. Just put it on and away you go. Or, put it on prior to getting into bed and wake feeling a bit looser. Plus, you can still continue to wear it since it'll still be working for you to ease you into your morning. This is and will continue to be my go to for aching muscles. I continue to tell everyone about them. Plus, there is no need to be stuck at home with a heating pad that you need to plug in. This product let you go about your daily routine. What are you waiting for? Try it!

Works great,but doesnt stick well

This product used to be dependable. Have used it for over 10 years. After Covid it became much more expensive. If it still worked, that would have been not enough to make me stop buying it. However, the last several shipments on our recurring order have been wildly different. Many pads do not stick in place when applied and have almost no heat. If the meager heat lasts one hour it is rare. A family member gave us a box of these they found when cleaning. The box was over a decade old and worked great. Something has changed since then. Cancelled our recurring order.

I did not find that these work as well as claimed. I tried to use on my shoulder, but very little relief. Heat did feel good.
