Customer Reviews of Moist Heating Pads - TheraTherm - Digital - Shoulder/Neck Cutout - 23" x 20" (outside dimensions)
Customer Review: FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PAD. HORRIBLE.
Summary: 1 Stars
Normally I wouldn't take the time to put something on here, but this product fell so considerably short of my expectations that I was compelled to say why. It is SO POORLY CONSTRUCTED. Period. I'm talking about the shape/size/cutout. Before I get into that, I'll say it heats up just fine, and yeah it gets a little too hot requiring adjustment of the thermostat a couple times, BUT, if that was the worst thing about it and the rest of it served its purpose correctly I wouldn't be on here. Getting that heat to penetrate where its needed has proven elusive. At first glance, the way its cut out makes one assume "hmmm, looks like it'll drape perfectly over the base of my neck/ and at least extend over my shoulder blades and mid-back." Wrong. It drapes the back and shoulders, but there is simply not enough of the pad to reach up to the base of the neck and at the same time sit on even the shoulder blades much less mid-back. In other words, when I place it so that its a mere third of the way down my back, at the base of the neck it "lifts," creating a large hollow space and that area gets no heat. Then I pull it up so that it hugs the base of my neck, and the flap at the bottom that's supposed to be on my back rises and loses contact there. On top of all this, no matter what position its in, so little of it stays in contact with the body, as if it doesn't have enough weight and gravity has nothing to really pull down. Its just one of those things you'll understand once you put it on. I'm all about compromise, but I can't spend half my day moving this thing around to cover all the bases. To make matters worse, the flaps that extend over the front pectoral muscles are so long (almost reaching to the abdomen) and for what? Since when does "neck and back pain" mean most of the heating pad's material and heat should be allotted to the pectoral muscles? So the moral is that by not paying the least bit of meticulous attention to the design, the maker has used a very loose interpretation of the words "neck and back" in the product title while charging an exorbitant amount of money (when considering you don't get what you pay for). The one star it got was because it heats up quite well, and should one have shoulder pain on top of the shoulders, it ought to do something for you.
When you spend $60, somehow I feel justfied in expecting that the thermatherm shouldn't leave these things to be desired.

Description of Moist Heating Pads - TheraTherm - Digital - Shoulder/Neck Cutout - 23" x 20" (outside dimensions)
The Theratherm Digital Moist Heating Pad, as opposed to dry forms of heat, draws moisture directly from the air. There is no water to add, no water to boil, no dripping packs and no towels to prepare. Moisture is drawn from the humidity in the air and retained in a specially designed 100% cotton cover. When the hot pack is turned on, the retained moisture is rapidly heated by high-grade ceramics, forcing the moisture out of the flannel cover onto the patient's skin, allowing deeper penetration of heat into the bodys tissue. The moisture acts only as a means to transmit heat more deeply into the tissue, so only a small amount is needed. TheraTherm, unlike all competitive products on the market, has a digital hand control allowing the operator to program the following parameters: treatment temperature, treatment time and on/off. Competitive units, including Thermophore, require the operator to make continual contact with a single-loaded switch to generate and maintain heat from the pad. This is positioned as a safety feature. TheraTherm has a conventional on/off control switch. Lockout mode protects against accidental changing of the control settings.Arthritis
