SunnyBay Extra Large Microwave Heating Pad 10x24 Inches - Moist Heating Pad for Pain Relief - Wheat Filling and Washable Fleece Cover, Buffalo Plaid

I was really excited to get this because I thought it would really help out with my back pain and shoulder pain, but when it arrived I was kind disappointed. It is not as big as they make it out to be and it takes awhile to heat it up in my microwave. The only way to get the heat effect is to lay on your stomach and have someone else lay it on your back in the right place to relieve the pain..I was not able to heat it and then sit in my chair with it on my back, in the right spot to relieve the pain.. it does work really well after heated to lay over your shoulder and relieve that pain, the only downfall is that you would need two so you had one for each shoulder to have it laid over each one to get the kind of relief that you are looking for. It does work wonderful on your knees, whether you need the heat or the cold. It is pretty easy to through it in the freezer to get it cold because freezers are somewhat bigger than microwaves. Probably having it around longer I will get use to it and it will work better. I may have to get another one, so my husband can use it.

The first thing that sets this apart from other hot/cold packs is it's size. It's big. In the photo it more than covers my entire lap, and I'm a curvy girl, so it's large enough for bigger areas like your back. The fleece cover is removable. Which is really nice if it gets get or dirty. It's easy to clean. It also helps with protection to your skin, so you don't have to wrap it in a towel. And another plus is that the fleece has a gripping quality if you are wearing cotton where it's placed. It has a good amount of weight to it too, so it doesn't shift around really easy. It stays put better.
