“I own a straight band heating one w/ lavender for my neck and love it (had it for years, it also still smells nice). I'm in the process of moving and can't get to it now so I ordered this one: It's a pain to wrestle it into the bag to heat & bag def makes it heat better though you have to flip it 1/2 way through heating. It cools off very fast compared to the much smaller one I have. The beads shift in this big thing so you have to shake it about as you go to put it on your neck/shoulders. Has awkward lavender smell & seems it won't keep scent (thankfully). I missed return date as I would surely have wanted my ill spent $$ back.”
“I put this on without warming it up when I feel my shoulders creeping up near my ears. It helps me to remember to relax my shoulders and maintain better posture so that I am not creating stress on my neck, upper back, and shoulders. I wear it while working at my computer. I like that it's easy to balance/even out the weight. I was concerned before I bought this about melting or burning it in the microwave, however I have no concerns after reading the instructions there's a maximum time limit you can heat these in the microwave and you need to divide that time up between both sides -- so you have to flip it or you will damage the product, especially in a high wattage microwave. I only put it in the microwave for half the time so i never have to remember to flip it -- the fact that the microwave stops is my cue to flip and continue the warming process.”
“I had extremely bad pain in my neck and shoulder from a very long time accident at work, so time to time I get pain. You microwave it for over a minute and It get very warm. The bad thing about it is that it don't stay warm for long time, but it work good in the beginning..”
“I ordered this because my neurologist uses this one. She said it was great so I have tried it. It feels wonderful on my neck and upper back. It is easy to heat up in the microwave and isn't too heavy. I use it when I have to sit up and look diwn to type. It relaxes my shoulders and soothes my neck.”
“It is a weighted scarf with a lavender scent. I put it on without doing anything special to it and I really enjoyed the slight heaviness of it and the scent is light but noticeable. I found it to be relaxing. I put this around my neck on a cold night and sip me some hot chocolate and then I go to my happy place.”
“At first, I bought this for the pain I was having in my wrist (closest thing to what is used during my OT appointments). Then I used it on my neck and that felt so nice. The scent of lavender and mint don't do it for me. To me, it smells a little funky. But I can get past that because it works on the pain I'm dealing with. Just make sure to pay attention to the directions for how long to keep it in the microwave.”
