REVIX Microwavable Heating Pad for Again, Further Giant Microwave Heated Pack with Moist Warmth for Waist, Abdomen, and Shoulder, Unscented Scorching or Chilly Pack, Grey

Most amazing and effective moist large heat wrap I’ve EVER used!!!
I’ve been using heat wraps for decades and had many positive and negative experiences with and even had my favorites. This by far surpasses my expectations. It is super large, and the Velcro tie is really long and strong (and even comes with an extension if you need/want it). It doesn’t take nearly as long to heat up as the others I’ve used, and the moist heat penetrates deeper and longer imaginable. I have severe chronic pain in my thoracic and lumbar spine, and this is so effective…I had to write this review which is not a regular practice for me, but I know how frustrating it is when trying to decide on what type of product to buy on Amazon with so many available. THIS is a MUST HAVE if you want immediate relief and a quality wrap! I already purchased another one for my husband who has chronic pain in his neck and back, hips, feet and hands because this will work for all those areas! Please trust me and buy this product. I haven’t used the ice aspect but for heat it’s amazing!!!

Not as Hot as Others, Nice Fit, Hope it doesn’t burn through the material
I have used this type of pad most of my life, I”m 77, suffer from a back injury. I do like this style, it wraps around me nicely, for this review, must say I have about a 49″ waist and it fits me with room to spare. It is very convenient, in that it stays in place. I did not need to use the extensio that comes with it. The material is soft and feels moist when heated. It doesn’t heat nearly as hot as the pads I have purchased in the past from “Nature Creations” and it only stays hot for about 20 mins, so it doesn’t retain the heat too well. Overall, I like it. I still may urchase one from Nature Creations. Also I saw a picture of a user, (6th time she’d used it she said) where the beads had burned a hole in it. I HOPE THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN.

Heating pad deteriorated in the microwave
I bought this heating pad and used it as directed, heating it for only short, incremental periods to avoid overheating. Despite this, it split at a seam, and tiny beads spilled all over the kitchen floor. The pad wasn’t even very hot to the touch, which was disappointing, especially since it was less than a week old.

Easy Fit
This is so easy to adjust and covers a large area. The Velcro tabs work very well and this heats quickly and retains its heat over a decent amount of time.

I was having so much back and neck pain at the time that I actually bought TWO microwave heating pads — this one, and one that was specifically designed for a sore neck. It was the inspiration of desperation. You know what? I should have just bought this one because it does everything. It’s shaped so that you can use it for your back, your neck, your shoulder, your knee — anything. And its velcro strap holds it in place. And the weight of it makes it sink into all the aching crevices your regular electric heating pad can’t reach. I read reviews that say the heat doesn’t last last long, and that’s both true and not true: the microwave heat dissipates, but it holds in the heat of your body, so that it’s actually warm enough to do the job as long as you want. Your body will always generate heat and this heating pad will always hold it in. I love it; I’ve been recommending it to all my friends. I recommend it to you!

I have suffered with an L5 prolapse disc for years. Whenever the back gets worse for whatever reason, I try and add a heat pack for during the day at work or if I am going out – particularly in this cold weather. I also have early onset of arthritis and get stiff joints/back/hips (I am only 55) in this damp so add heat again where possible. Up until now, I have always gone for the packs that stick either end that have magnets in them that heat up. These were fab as got really hot and lasted for hours. All day and through the night. Although they were expensive, they worked. For some reason – I can’t seem to find them anywhere? I can find the pads without the magnet pieces but I don’t find they work well at all and can easily come off. This was a bit of a punt as I have had a strap/Heated pad before that didn’t work that well. This works really well! It has some weight to it – but actually for some reason this is part of why it feels like its working. I heated the pad in the microwave for 2 minutes. 900w micro. It stays hot for about 1.5 – 2 hours. Once that initial heat has dies down – the weight and the material combined keeps that area warm too. The material covering the pad area is lovely and soft. It is a very comfortable shape for the lower back – which previously I have struggled to cover. The strap will go around a bigger person and the extension strap allows you to put it over clothes if you prefer to wear it on the outside. I would suggest a layer on the inside as the velcro straps and the extension can catch and be a bit scratchy if worn directly on the skin. Overall it is really comfortable. In fact I kind of forgot I was wearing it for most of the day at work today. My work involves multiple trips a day so I am in and out of the car. This did not budge until I took it off. Super pleased with this purchase and it has really helped when I went out one evening which meant standing around in the cold for some time. It just helped keep me warm the whole evening and definately made a difference to the stiffness I would have got, if I had gone out without it. Saving money too as reusable. Perfect Amazon purchase!
