Customer Reviews of Thermalon Microwave Activated Moist Heat-Cold Therapy Wrap with Ties for Back, Hip, Shoulder, 7" x 12"
Customer Review: Fantastic relief for back pain
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife is 5-months pregnant with twins and started to experience major back pain. For a couple of weeks, we were using one of those blue hot/cold gel packs where we had to boil the water, put the gel pack in for a few minutes, then wrap it around a towel and I would have to apply it. The warmth of the gel pack lasted no longer than 8-10 minutes. Then, I was doing some research on heating pads and found this. Incredible! Although the instructions states that we should heat it in the microwave for 1 minute, 30 seconds, we found that 1 minute was sufficient. An extra 30 seconds was too hot. The best things about this product is that it doesn't burn your skin and it wraps around your waist. Both my wife and I are extremely happy with this product. We would recommend this to any pregnant woman who experiences back pain. Of course, it's only a temporary relief, but it really helped alleviate the pain for my wife.Customer Review: The ties make this nearly perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
Though all microwavable heat packs lose their heat after a few minutes, this one last a bit longer than the other 2 brands that I own. It also continues to stay warm for a couple of hours. I heat this for 90 seconds in my microwave, and it is pretty steamy. The size is quite generous, and the ties make this nearly perfect. The ability to put this on, and pull it tight really allows you to maximize the use of the heat- especially if you're reading or watching TV (rather than lying down). Because it's tied on, you can walk around with it on! I had no idea just how much difference the straps would make to an already quality product.Customer Review: must-have in the freezing office
Summary: 5 Stars
Our office AC was on full blast all summer long, and it was so cold that some of us got sick from it. Unfortunately the AC situation was never improved because apparently others were OK or even felt hot - it would depend on where you sit. As a means of "self-defense" I ordered the Thermalon Wrap and what a relief it was! It is easy to heat it up and stays warm for a good amount of time. I have similar products at home but I like it that this one has a belt that you can tie around your waist. The gentle heat is also great on stiff shoulder and back too. This really saved me in the freezing office.Customer Review: Don't waste your time and money on this
Summary: 2 Stars
The first time I used this product, it worked great! This is the only reason I am not giving it a 1 star review. The second time I tried to use it, I popped in the microwave for 2 minutes. I thought this was not too long, according to the package directions. When I went to pull it out, thousands of little beads came pouring out of a hole in the corner. What a mess! This product is hardly well made if it cannot withstand a single use. Don't waste your time and money on this product. It is not well made at all.Customer Review: Great for lower back or abdomen
Summary: 5 Stars
The straps are handy, and the moist beads are great. All their products heat up easily even in my mini microwave. I use it for lower back pain or stomach aches. So far, I've had great success with Thermalon products. I had one defective wrap (not this model) where the sewing was imperfect and the beads leaked, but they will replace or refund if so. Because of their great customer service, I continue to buy them and don't mind the occasional defect.
