REVIX Microwavable Heating Pad for Neck Shoulders and Back, Microwave Heated Neck Wrap with Moist Heat, Weighted Neck Warmer, Light-Gray

This product is fantastic easy to use .. sits so comfortably around your neck and feels like a warm hug - love it ! Now I need to buy my three boys one each!

After spending a small fortune on heat/cool pads for my neck and shoulders over the years, someone recommended this product. I bought it reluctantly, expecting it to slide right off my shoulders like all the others to live in the aches-and-pains-product fail box. I was surprised to find that it has a nice contour and is heavy enough to stay on my neck and shoulders even if I am moving around. It comes up over my neck to cover my sub-occipital area, cradling my head in warmth that feels wonderful. It is very soft and comfortable as well, adding to its snuggle capacity. You can use it warm or cold. In fact I think I will go heat it up and drape it over my shoulders right now, and maybe make some hot chocolate too.

Spouse says this works very good for relief for warming her neck and shoulders. Haven't tried it yet for any cooling.

I love everything about this product. The texture, the quality, the heat retention. So pleasantly surprised as price excellent!

Generally speaking, I am very pleased with the REVIX Microwavable Heating Pad. It does what it is advertised to do.The Pro's: I found that it holds it's heat fairly well. You get about 15 minutes of good heat out of it. I know that some complain about it not holding the heat longer. For me, I don't want the heat on more than maybe 15 or 20 minutes, so it works well for me.It does not need to be plugged into to electricity to work. This allows you the freedom of using it almost anywhere.The Con's: The initial heat is very soothing. However, after that initial heat, if you are laying on this pad or your are leaning against it in a chair,, once the heat dissipates, then you start to feel the hard stones in the pad and you will feel how lumpy it is. This becomes uncomfortable in a short period of time.Important facts:Stick with the time recommended in the instructions for heating. The instructions tell you to increase the time by 60 seconds if the initial time of 2 minutes is not enough. I found the 30 seconds is a better number. However, I have found that in my 1000 watt microwave, the recommended time of 2 minutes is quite adequate. You don't want it too hot so as to burn your body.Also equally important, once you heat it up per the instructions, you are cautioned NOT to reheat the pad for 2 hours. For this reason, I bought a second heating pad for times when a 2 hour wait is too long.
