 WAY too much trouble to use - completely inconvenient Feb 12, 2010
I bought this to use as a hot pack. When I got it, the instructions say that, before you use it, you have to soak it in a large pan in water for 2 hours. OK. I did that, weighting it down with a bowl, and after several hours, put it in the dish rack to drain the excess water off. I imagined that then I could microwave it to warm it up. Nope!
When you go to use it, it turns out that every single time you want to use it, you have to, either in the microwave or on the stovetop, heat it up in a container completely covered with water. Hunh???
I expected something that held its moisture, and unless you had dried it out somehow, could just be microwaved each time you wanted to use it.
But the instructions say - put it in a large container completely covered with water, heat until the water temperature reaches 160 deg. F. So- you're also supposed to heat it, watch it, and measure the temperature while it's heating? Then you're supposed to "carefully remove" this hot large dripping wet pack from the pot of hot water.
Then they mention that you are also required to separately buy a cover from them, and put it in that.
I really wish that the info for this said you would have to heat it, in water, each time - I *never* would have considered it. When you want a hot pack, I didn't want to go through a long complex process with a pot of boiling water to get the thing hot. If anybody can recommend a good quality simple hot pack, please do.
 Perfect shape for contouring to the body Jun 26, 2009
I use these neck packs in my acupuncture practice. Not only do I use them for the neck, but I also use them for feet, low backs, or any place that needs a little moist heat. They wrap around body parts nicely. My patients love the way they feel. I cover them with cheap towels. At least three layers of towel are needed,cause these babies get hot!
