“I followed the directions and it still got a hole burned in it and spilled the filling all over my microwave. Loved it until then. Very disappointed.”
“Pros:-- Velvety soft-- Pleasant (non-floral) scent. I actually love the smell.-- Comfortable to wear as a heat pack.-- Retains heat ok given the natural limitations of this kind of wrap. I wouldn't say great since I definitely notice a significant decrease in heat within 10 minutes of taking it out of the microwave. But it does stay "warm" for some time.-- 3 lb weight seems about right. I'm 5'1" and 120 lbs and the weight helps to keep my shoulders relaxed while not feeling heavy.Cons:-- There are 2 sections to it. The section that wraps around the neck is stitched enough to keep the beads evenly distributed. However, there's only partial stitching on the shoulder section so the beads bunch up and I have to re-distribute them which is a bit cumbersome. Wish they had just sewn full stitches in both sections.-- I had one from another company and it draped further down over the shoulders so provided more coverage at the back and sides.-- Fabric can melt in the microwave. I've microwaved this pad about 3 dozen times with no issues, all for the same amount of minutes. Then one day, I did the same and a 1" slit of fabric had melted, resulting in a hole. Luckily, I caught it early so not a ton of beads fell out. I used a heavy duty clip to just clip the hole closed and it's holding ok. This happened with the last wrap I had (from a different company), so I don't necessarily blame the manufacturer. I assume I left it too long in the microwave and it may have slowly compromised that area over time -- I don't really know.”
“I use this product almost daily. I have had trouble with migraines. When i have felt one coming on, I use this, and I did not get a headache. this has helped my shoulders not tense up as they have before purchasing this product. I like that the neck area comes up on the neck . I wish the back, front and sides was an inch longer so it would not move so much when i am working.”
“My personal experience is relevant to my experience and personal need for pain relief. This item didn�t work for me. I think it depends on what type relief issues you have. I chose to use it cold.I believed the neck portion would be nice and cold, bringing down inflammation helping with pain. The neck portion is just a flap divided by a seam. It never became cold enough. It�s quite heavy on my shoulders, not in a good way. I ended up with a slightly cool, heavily weighted bean bag causing painful stress on my already painful shoulders. I was looking for relief, based on reviews this item is great for some. The fabric is soft and a nice color. Still, for me it was useless and cumbersome.If you have painful neck issues that also cause pain in your shoulders, you might feel like you�re carrying 3lb backpack unnecessarily. When your in pain, it feels a lot heavier.The item arrive brand new as described.”
“I've had this for a few months, but not sure how I like this. Heavier than I thought it would be. Have trouble arranging it on my neck/shoulders. Doesn't stay warm very long. Don't really know if it does anything for me.”
“I love this item. My only problem with it is the weight. I recently had neck surgery and it affected my shoulder and it was too heavy for the affected shoulder.”
“I bought this on July 9,2019. I have used it 3 times a week since then. And last night August 9,2019, it broke. The beans are now coming out of it!! Paid the money, only for it to last a month! Very upset about this.”
