Duromed Therabeads Moist Heat Pack - Microwave & Reuseable Pad - 12 x 16 - King Size

Pad heats up perfectly in the microwave on a turn-style for 3 minutes. I use it in combination with ICE followed by MOIST HEAT for a painful lower back. It works wonders! I'll also use moist heat a few days after I take a fall, up to 3 times/day following icing. The thin dark blue cloth to cover the moist heat pack is used to protect your skin from burn. It doesn't prevent the pack itself from gathering "nubs" in white material. This is why only 4 stars. It's similar to what happens to an old cotton top after years of wearing and washing but this occurs after only a few uses of the moist heat pad whether or not covered by the blue cloth. So glad I finally found moist heat.

I have been enjoying the moist heat pack very much . What I like most is that it covers a large area of the back or abdominal. It is the perfect size . Thank you. Claudette C Clunan

This doesn't really get hot enough. I had another one and it turns out it is the exact same one with a different name. Would have liked it to be hotter for longer.

The moist heat pack penetrates more deeply than my electrical heat pad. Use it three or four times a day. Unfortunately I did not put in cover provided each time and so the outside is getting a little used looking.

I've been using this heating pad for one week. This morning, I opened the microwave to find that the fabric had melted! The tag appears to have melted to the fabric covering where they touched as it heated, so if you buy this I recommend that you cut the tag off before using. However, my real beef with Therabeads is the instructions that came with it. I included a pic of the relevant paragraph, which says you can only use it 4 times in 24 hours! I needed a product that would get hot, stay hot, and be easily reusable. This is not that product.

Just like the ones I used during physical therapy

I like this product, the size is great. It does need to be heated longer than instructed, but be careful, my muscles/skin are used to it.

I've had this for a little over a week and used it 8 times and it popped tonight in the microwave after 30 seconds. Very disappointing considering Ipaid over 40.00 dollars for it.
