SunnyBay Microwave Heating Pad, Neck and Shoulder Wrap, 26 Inch London

Heating pad for neck worked out perfectly. It was hands free, although the length could have been longer. It fit me but if you had a bigger neck, you would have trouble fastening the two ends. I liked the wider height in the back which makes it fit better. It stayed warm for a long time. Looks like it is made well.

Okay let’s not waste any time! Alright so a little back story on me, I have permanent muscle damage in my upper back due to a work accident. I get kinks in my neck a lot from sleeping funny or crashing on the couch. I also have a heart condition (mechanical mitrol valve- which means basically my Mitrol heart valve was defective) so going to a chiropractor is out of the question for me. I have come to appreciate the heating pads/cold compress along with products to use topically. But now that I got this hands free wrap that is SUPER soft and comfy on the skin, I’m set. It’s made in the USA using Flax seed or rice as contents inside, so it can be damp when microwaved. There is said to be a smell and I got a very light smell when I got it damp for the first time, now either the smell has faded or I just don’t notice it anymore. It doesn’t leave a smell on your body from what I could tell, so that’s also a plus. I got the leopard print wrap because I’m a little extra sometimes. The color is spot on – no pun intended. The stitching is awesome, I’m rough with things so the durable craftsmanship is appreciated. I have to be honest I wasn’t expecting for it to be as heavy as it is, however it reminds me of my weighted blanket that is used for anxiety and insomnia. No lie of the 2 weeks I’ve had the wrap, I’ve woken up 3 times in the past week on the couch with the wrap on cause I fell asleep. It really is that comfortable and soft. Heating it up, a minute and a half is the time in the microwave altogether even reheating once. After the minute I check on the wrap every 10-15 seconds until desired heat. If you get it damp before you heat it up, it gets Really hot so please be careful. My sensitive skin wasn’t able to take the heat when the wrap was damp. Almost instant relief. Cool it down now. I put the wrap in a plastic bag in the freezer for an hour and this bad boy stays chill for about 30-45 minutes maybe more. I noted relief about 10 minutes into using the cold neck wrap. Whether it’s chilled or hot I only use the neck wrap in 15 minute increments, because you know too much of a good thing can be bad for you, or so they say. I use the wrap nearly everyday usually when I am working. I work from home doing freelance work so perfect time to use it. I paid under 30 bucks for it and I feel it is worth every penny. I definitely recommend!

This is a very good product. The design is great, because it has a very good rear portion that is larger than just about every other heating wrap. For me, that's great because it heats up with moist heat over by bulged disc in my neck at the C3-C4 discs as I use it prior to doing P/T traction for my neck condition. It has a very nice and soft covering that really feels good and the adjustment feature allow a perfect fit for any size neck. The reasons that I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 are because of two things. First is that their time to heat it is way too short. The second one is that it loses its heat (in my opinion) faster than I'd like. Perhaps it's because I have only had it for 1 month and it may need some more breaking in time. The seller gave me good and quick communication on my questions prior to me buying it. I would still recommend this product and the seller.

This review is for the Hands Free Neck Heating Wrap Size Normal/Large (not XL). Color "buffalo" or classic red flannel checkered. Pros: -Shipping was fast. These are HANDMADE! -The cloth is softer than I expected. -The pleating/stitching is great as it helps keep the seeds in place and uniform shape/thickness. -Wrap has a good weight to it. Helps to keep it in place. It could use a little more for my taste, but that is hard to do without adding bulk. The XL is likely a bit heavier. - Good length to wrap around the neck. NOTE: If you're wanting for upper shoulders, get the XL so you can drape it more down your back, or get their neck/shoulder designed product. For wrapping around the neck (16-16.5.5" mens neck size) it's a little snug to use the attached elastic loop to hold the ends together under your chin. But, if you're neck is sore, it then acts as a support/neck brace. The XL is probably better suited for men of similar or larger neck size. The normal/Large probably appropriate for most ladies and those with smaller necks. -The elastic loop is a plus. Didn't realize that when I bought it. -Lack of rope "ring" handles is good. I have a similar product (NOT THIS ONE) with rope ring handles at the end, over time the rope becomes scratchy and uncomfortable as it inevitably brushes. This design is far superior IMO. -No Scent - I could not really smell a scent after using it a few times. For someone who doesn't want a scent, here is your product. CONS: -As previously mentioned as a PRO, the length is probably best for smaller necks and ladies necks unless you want a snug fit. For men's necks/necks larger than 16.5" you might not be able to close the ends with the elastic loop. -Would prefer a bit heavier, but for the size (not clunky/bulky) good weight. -Best for neck and top of shoulders. For upper back/shoulders get the XL so you can drape, or look at their neck/upper back product. Took off one star for pain relief, this is going to be subjective to each individual. I have tight muscles and they require more "work" to relax. Overall impressed and happy. Would buy another as a gift or an alternate style for more options.

I very rarely review what I buy. When I do, it's either because something is really great - 5 stars - or really bad - 1 star; and then usually only after I have had something for a while to make sure it hasn't broken or fallen apart within the first 6 months. I'm making an exception here because I love this thing. I have other hot/cold packs; they're usually filled with some kind of gel. They all generally do the job, but are variously easy/difficult to keep in place where you want it. I like this one best because it's filled with seeds and because it stays in place without my needing to wrap an uncomfortable elastic strap to keep it there. There are three things that are nice about the seeds: one, they are not liquid so the material that holds them doesn't have to be plasticky and impermeable. It's breathable and soft instead, fleecy but thin. This means that the moisture in the seeds can come through, which helps to distribute the heat. Two, the seeds get warm evenly and don't seem to ever get too hot, which is a downside of the gel stuff. Three - and this was a nice surprise - when you warm this up, it gives off a lovely earthy smell - like oatmeal. It reminds me of of my grandma, and it is soothing - just what you want when you're trying to reduce pain. The shape and size make it so that you can wrap it around your neck and it'll stay there. You can also drape it over one shoulder and it'll stay there. You don't even need to engage the elastic. So I can go about my business around the house and it stays in place. This is important because the last thing you want is to be unconsciously using your muscles in order to keep it in place. I've gone to sleep with it wrapped around my neck. It was wonderful. I'd buy it again.

It is very good product and retain the heat well. But it starts leaking from the seam after a month of use. The good thing about leaking is that I can be sure it truly has flaxseeds inside. :)

I’m happy with my purchase- like the way you can secure it tight around your neck- i do wish it would stay hot longer, but it’s a nice moist heat

Love this product!

Good but too heavy for anyone has neck pain already

Best heat pack I've purchased. Filling is packed tightly, perfect size for beck and the wider back section Is also perfect for the tummy. Versatile a good quality. And the lavender scent is likely all natural, very soothing.

Takes longer than 2 minutes to heat

Product is exactly as described and works well

Like it very much smells nice warms up good
