Thermophore Arthritis Pad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is our second Thermophore 14 x 27, first one lasted about ten years or so, and we liked it enough to replace right away.
With temperatures up around 165 degrees, this will get in deep to your muscles and joints. A few rounds of 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off will work wonders.
One of the best features is that this pad is weighted all over with many flat metal weights that make it conform to your body for great contact and heat transfer.
Use with caution and read the instruction manual for warnings. See the Thermophore web site for more details.
Seems a bit expensive compared to standard heating pads, but it's in a class by itself and worth the investment.
Note, Don't be confused by the "Automatic" wording, it has a hand operated normally OFF switch. The Automatic refers to the moist heat since you don't have to wet it at all.
They now make the same unit with an automatic timer shut off switch if you might like that better than the manual switch that this one has. This one you have to hold the switch down to keep it hot, that way if you doze off it shuts it off.
The other is called "Automatic" with "Automatic switch"
BTW, the shipping service by 'The Therapy Connection at HPMS, Inc' was outstanding and it arrived in just a few days time. I'm sure that can vary, but my order shipped fast!

Therma Moist Heating Pad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this to travel with, as it fits in a carry-on suitcase better than my old trusty Thermaphore moist heating pad with a deadman's switch. This one has a timed switch and temperature control which, in principle may be a bit safer and adjustable than the deadman's switch (which is either on or off, and has to be held in the ON position to keep ON). However, the control is not all that intuitive for startup, as one has to set the heat to zero before re-starting. Once you get used to it, though, it is no big deal, and the product worked well in motels. The electrical cord was, thankfully, long enough to reach from the wall outlet to the bed without need of the extension cord that I packed. For home use, I would recommend the larger size for full lower back coverage.

Sunbeam 885-000 Renue? Heat Therapy Neck and Shoulder Wrap, Green Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's soft which is just wonderful with the heat. It has a detachable cord so that you can wash the whole thing in the washer. Much improved design over the "removable cover" which always meant for me a struggle to keep the "cover" on the stupid heat pad. Pros:
Soft, fully washable- in machine, 4 settings with light (light off- it's off), and magnet to secure on front, also weighted around the edges to help with secure feeling.
Cons:
Neck opening not too generous. Given the weighting, it's ok to leave it "un-snapped" (not attach magnet) and still feel secure. The plug connection is right over the chest and can get in the way. Looking at other models on the market, seems a common problem. Don't know why they can't put the output at a location that isn't in the way, but oh well.
Small picture discrepancy:
The back looks nothing like the picture- perfectly fitting. It clumps up a bit but that doesn't detract from it at all. Just thought I'd share that.
Fully endore product. I'm buying one for my mom this xmas.

Conair HP01RBRR Moist Heating Pad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to put under a blanket for my senior cat. It only has one heat setting, but it's not too hot. It keeps his bed nice and toasty without being too warm. You can't beat the price. My old kitty is enjoying it for his creaking bones.

McDavid Shoulder Support with Strap Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this shoulder support after I strained my shoulder playing sports. I was hoping it would help limit my shoulder movement and allow my shoulder to heal. However, because the support is so bulky, it would not allow my arm to hang flush to my body. This actually caused my shoulder to ache continuously, which was extremely uncomfortable and defeated the purpose of wearing the support.
Pros:
-Inexpensive compared to other options
-Easy to put on (with someone's help)
-Provides good support vs. taping or wrapping
-Immobilizing strap attachment provides additional support
Cons:
-Bulky and bunches up under your arm
-Holds your arm in unnatural hanging position
-Pretty much impossible to put on by yourself
-Very difficult to adjust without assistance if you have to wear for long periods
-Makes you hot and sweaty if worn for long periods

Sunbeam Health at Home Standard Moist/Dry Heating Pad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife and I have been using this product for a variety of things and it has been great. When you turn it on, it doesn't take long to heat up which is great. At its highest temperature, the heat setting is just right, hot enough to bring relief without becoming too hot or uncomfortable. The only thing we wish was different is that once it has been on High for a while, it begins to cool down and does not become hot again until its cooled down first. This is a little frustrating if you wanted it to be hot for longer. We have tried turning it off and unplugging it at that stage, waiting a minute or two and then plugging it in again and having it on High but this doesn't seem to make it any faster. It still doesn't reach High again until its cooled down first. Other than that, its wonderful and has been a huge help for sore backs, necks, and other ailments. :-)

Carex Bed Buddy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have been using Bed Buddies for years (both the back wrap and shoulder/neck version), and like them a lot. They really do deliver prolonged moist heat and relieve sore, tense muscles. The Velcro closures make them especially convenient to use.
Our Bed Buddies were getting pretty tattered, so I ordered a couple of new ones. This time, though, they have a chemical smell that I can't remedy - I've tried airing them for days in the sun, storing them with baking soda sachets...nothing works. I don't want them in my microwave oven, where we cook food - so we continue to use the old ones, not the new ones. It's been a big disappointment.
