“Let me start off by saying that my item came exactly as it was described. I pay attention to the things I spend my money on and read the description given. The size was correct. The anticipated smell was correct (rice, flax seed, and lavenderâ€â€not an essential oil). I'm always confused when people who say they're allergic to “fragrance†are talking about natural flowers. I assumed they were allergic to artificial fragrance. Otherwise, you would say you were allergic to lavender -__- I laughed when I read comments about how it didn't look like the photo because for me it was. I even measured it... and then I realized the model was petite, like me. So maybe a few people out there expected it to be much larger.My previous heating pad was one I got in a chiropractic office in my dad's hometown in the Midwest. It was fleece and filled with corn kernels. It lasted much longer than I should've kept it (14 years). I threw it out when I realized how old it was. But I only kept it because I took care of it because I knew it was filled with dry food. I'm assuming this heating pad is the same. NEVER get it wet. Lay it flat to cool and air out. And put it in the microwave for 30 sec. intervals, being sure to shake the contents in between to get evenly heated.I'm already loving the lavender smell. I'm currently using it and it seems to work great. We'll see after a few more uses how the rice holds up. But I think it'll be fine.”

“I have rotator cuff issues which extends down into the muscles of my arm. My physical therapist recommended I use TEN electrodes with heat. After I've done my PT exercises, I find that a cold compress works best...the Roscoe Cold Pack and Hot Pack is perfect for both! It heats up quickly in the microwave and gets cold fast in the freezer.”
