SoftHeat Deep Muscle Therapy

My wife is very pleassed with her new unit.   She usess  these for her knees.  AS she is full of arithiritus.  We now have 3 of these pads.  Two with chemicol on one with the beads.

This is an excellent product for sore muscles and backaches due to overexertion and/or arthritis.  It delivers warm, moist heat and fits wherever needed.  The temperature is precise when heated correctly and lasts for an hour; and because of this, can be used safely while lying down in bed.  I will never return to an electric heating pad.  Its compact size can be used while driving, at the office. I have strongly recommended it to many co-workers.  This past winter season has been particularly hard on the back with shoveling.  I warm it up and apply it to the back while shoveling.

I was disappointed with this heating pad.  I was looking for a heating pad without an odor after heating it.  It rated well according to the lack of odor.  However, i was very disappointed in its heat retention.  It doesn't hold heat for very long and after having it for only 2 weeks, and heating it up for 1-2 minutes each time, it melted a hole.  Plus it was annoying having to heat it without the sack and then to get it back in after heating it..not too difficult but not as user friendly as i prefer so back to the flax and rice bags i go!
