Thermophore Classic Moist Heating Pad Size Medium 14" x 14" - Model 056

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. I absolutely love this heating pad, as it is one of the only heating pads available that ACTUALLY GETS HOT!!! The down side is that you need to keep the lever depressed in order to heat the pad up, but that is to skirt Federal regulations that limit how hot heating pads can get to mildly warm. In other heating pads without a manual lever to shut the pad off if you fall asleep, you will often find an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions list) that explains the frequently asked question "Why won't my heating pad get hot?" The short answer is that the government is protecting stupid people that fall asleep with their pad turned on or that do not know enough to take a hot pad away from their skin when it gets too hot, thus making all conventional heating pads useless for actual heat therapy. As long as you are holding the switch down, the pad heats up, stopping at a temperature that is probably not tolerable for most people without extra padding. When it gets too hot, you release the switch until it cools down, repeating the press and release cycle to maintain your ideal temperature. Much to the chagrin of the government, stupid people can still burn themselves if they are determined enough, by putting their weight on the switch or using things such as rubber bands, and there are warnings telling people not to do things like lie down on the heating pad since that magnifies the heat, but reasonable people can take the warnings with a grain of salt as long as they trust themselves to let go of the switch when the pad gets too hot, and know that if they burn themselves it is their own fault, not the fault of the company that makes the heating pad. I love this heating pad and have used it dozens of times for my back, neck, and shoulder. I use the "moist therapy" cover because it is less scratchy than not using it, even though it does not work in my Arizona environment (you do not wet it down, it sucks moisture from the air. I could get it to work if I left it in the bathroom when people take showers.). Every other "conventional" heating pad now resides at the local garbage dump.

?Cómo pueden vender este producto en España, dónde no se puede conectar a la red electrica? Y además, al considerarse un dispositivo médico nose puede devolver?

商品を購入したのですが以前購入した商品と違い、タイマーが付いておらず手でスイッチを押したままでないと使用する事が出来ない商品になっていました。Amazonでは返品不可となっていましたが、会社に問い合わせたところ、返品を快諾していただきました。次回は説明書きを吟味しこの様な間違えがない様に気をつけようと思います。またこの会社で何か購入する機会を作ろうとして思っています。ご対応ありがとうございました。

I have an auto inflammatory disease with daily, chronic pain. I have repurchased this thermophore heating pad over the years in different sizes. It’s essential. I have recommended it to all my family and friends. It’s durable, not too heavy but sturdy. It has a soft outer cover which protects it and can be washed in my washing machine. The handheld button is great because I can fall asleep and not burn myself forgetting to turn it off. Lastly, the moist heat goes deep and has been a lifesaver at night when pain is bad.

Unit is made to be used in the United States only. Using a converter can cause a fire. I verified with the manufacturer. The seller was mistaken by selling it outside of the United States.
