Thermophore MaxHEAT Automatic Moist Heat Pack - Large Coverage Model #155 for Deep, Soothing Pain Relief

I have used heating pads for years and years staring back with "cramps". Purchased this brand after using one in physical therapy and feeling the incredible difference. This is by far the very best heating pad I have used to date!! The moist heat penetrates DEEP to your bones like nothing I have ever felt. High is TOO hot for me which is a first. This is my second thermophore as my first just stopped one day after 3 years of daily use.Pros: 1. Heats up slowly and goes off slowly so sometimes i don't realize it's off.2. Deep heats like NOTHING else, grabbing moisture from the air is no joke!3. Turns off automatically so I don't get burned (for too long haha) and if I get distracted or interupted I don'twaste electricy for hours or pose a fire hazard by forgetting to turn it off.4. Super LARGE so my entire back gets treatment if I want causing my entire body relax as my pain is relievedsomewhat.CONS:1. Cord is in the middle of one end so it is ALWAYS in the way (my other one's cord was off to one side some which is more comfortable to position when using it for back pain). Your choice for cord placement, if using it on your back, is over your head or between your legs, neither are very comfortable. ugh.2. Cord twists really bad which is probably why my other one stopped working.3. Pricey but as people usually say about "cheap" items here, "you get what you pay for". This is one of the VERYFEW things I pay more for as it is SO worth it!The benifits outweigh the negatives by far. I am TRYING to hande the cord carefully with my everyday use and trying to think of a solution.

This works wonderful. I love the big size and it definitely gets hot!

So far, this is the best heating pad that I have ever used. It reaches an excellent level of heat on the "high" setting and it turns off automatically after 25 minutes to prevent injury. I found this heating pad by researching what a medical supply store near me was selling in the way of heating pads. The Amazon price was lower, so I purchased from them. For some reason, my prior Amazon searches for heating pads never yielded this wonderful device. Now that I have found it, I know where to go for another, if necessary. I have also recommended it to friends.

This heating pad is a little more narrow than my first one.

I have FIbromyalgia and have a lot of pain. I've used my mom's older heating pad for a few years and it was good because it got quite hot which I like. But it was just too small so I set out to find a larger one. I finally found this one, which was the largest I could find. I'm in love with it! It heats up very fast which I really appreciate when I'm in pain and it gets quite hot on the hottest setting, which many do not do now days. But the thing I love the most is that it is somehow "weighted" and heavy. On other pads I always have to put something on top of the pad to hold it down on my knees for instance, but this pad does it all by itself! It's so nice and big that I can do both legs at once and have room to tuck it on the sides of my legs. Yes, it says not to lay on it but I do all the time and have had no problem with it at all. It really is a great heating pad and I'm so glad I found it!

My relationship with aches and pains has been a long and complicated one. Sometimes it's my lower back protesting after an ambitious gardening session (which usually involves more enthusiasm than actual skill). Other times it's a stiff neck from staring at screens for too long (a modern-day occupational hazard). I've tried creams, stretches, and questionable contortions. I needed something more. Something that felt like a warm, comforting hug for my complaining muscles. That's when I found the Thermophore MaxHEAT Automatic Moist Heat Pack.I saw "Moist Heat" and "Automatic" and thought, "Does this thing generate its own spa-like steam? Does it know exactly where I hurt?" When this heating pad arrived, it felt substantial. It's not flimsy; it's got a nice weight to it, and the cover feels soft and plush. It looked less like a medical device and more like a cozy blanket that secretly possesses healing powers.Using it for the first time was a revelation. You just plug it in, lay it on the offending body part, and within moments, you feel this deep, penetrating heat. And it's moist heat, which apparently gets deeper into your muscles than dry heat. It's like a warm, soothing wave washing over your aches. My back, which was previously staging a full-blown protest, slowly began to relax and send signals of tentative peace.The automatic timer is a lifesaver. It shuts off after 25 minutes, so I don't have to worry about falling asleep and accidentally turning myself into a human烤鴨 (roast duck). It's a simple, one-touch control, even my pain-addled brain can handle it.If your muscles are tight, your joints are stiff, or you just appreciate the simple, profound comfort of deep, moist heat, this heating pad is fantastic. It's well-made, easy to use, and provides serious relief. It's become my go-to for soothing away the complaints of my body. My aches have met their match, and I'm thoroughly impressed with this warm, comforting workhorse.

I have been using Battle Creek thermophore pads for over fifty years and will not ever be without one.Moist penetrating heat and extremely durable.

I didn't know these were still being made. I bought one for my friends daughter due to her cramps once a month and I have my own one for emergency needs. Wonder - beats a heating pad
