Great product simple to use & apply. 1 minute in microwave sufficient to supply heat to sacral area. Adjustable strap allows heat pad to fit comfortably. Used several times since purchase & found to be beneficial as adjunctive treatment of sacral back pain. Recommended

Brilliant idea to be able to tie it round your waist. You can walk about with it or sit without it moving. It needs to go in the microwave for quite a bit longer to get to a decent temperature, to work. This probably depends on the size of the microwave and how warm you want it. It’s a lovely feeling on your back. Definitely seems to help. Very pleased with this, so far.

I ordered this to try and help relief the horrendous period pains I get every month.I spend 4/5 days waddling around with a water bottle and it gets annoying having to keep adjusting it.This body wrap is brilliant. I'm a larger lady and the extension strap fits around me without a problem and there's plenty of strap left meaning it will fit a lot of people on the larger side.The shape and form of the heat bag itself sits comfortable around the lower tummy area, on a side or back and with the strap firmly adjested it stays put when walking about the house too.The heat lasts for a fair amount of time, I found I needed to heat it in my microwave for quite a bit longer than the reccommended time (category E microwave, and I ende dip heating for 5 mins) so there is a bit of trial and error to start with while you get used to how it suits your microwave settings but it otherwise easy to sort.The fabric feels lovely and the whole unit feels very well made and good quality.I've only used it for one period so far, so that sa few days use.I will update in a few months after its had much more use to see how its lasting and performing.But so far I love it and would recommend to anyone who has chronic or intense body pains that are eased with heat.EDIT Dec 2022 (original review May 2022, 5*) - I have found that with repeted use this heat pack does not hold heat as long as say a traditional hot water bottle, for this reason i have removed 1 star from my overall review. However, it's still my go to for period pains and back ache as its much more practical and comfortable to wear/use than a traditional hot water bottle and the heat stays around long wnough to give me some relief from those pains but it hasn't completely replaced hot water bottles in our house though, we still use those for other purposes. Thought it may be interesting and useful for some people to know this extra info.

Must have purchase for chronic illness sufferers. I love all the heat and time options. Good quality product.

Straightaway it became clear that this really good idea may not be working in some respects. The heat production and retention issues are immediately clear: (1) it needs a lot longer to get some heat into it than the times suggested (3x longer - but do not do it at once so you do not burn and melt the thing); (2) it retains heat only very briefly (10-15 minutes) by comparison to the old heat bags we have all been using for years (which last 45-60 minutes - if not longer). So be prepared to use the microwave in a much less straightforward way (in bits of 2-3 minutes) to get a bit of heat for about 15 minutes. Pity about it all - the idea is very good, the outer materials are well chosen, well put together - but the inner, active mixture is not great at all.

It has been brilliant and has really helped my other half with her back pain. She even sleeps with it on and it has really helped after muscle spasms. Will fir all sizes of people and easy to use. She uses it hot after short time in the microwave. It does not stay hot for hours but it is to pop back in the microwave to reheat. I would recommend this product if you have a back or shoulder which needs some heat in those areas.

I fractured my spine about 6 months ago & although the fracture is healing, I have been struggling with lower back pain ever since. In that period I have been through 3 microwaveable wheat bags but they just don’t last. 2 of them burst inside my microwave, leaving a terrible burning smell. I was using each one properly, only heating for the stated time on the packaging & they just weren’t very comfortable to sit against either. So this time I decided to pay a bit more & purchased this UNCN large heat pad specifically for back pain & what a difference, there’s no bad smell when heating it in the microwave, it is so comfortable to sit against, it has an adjustable strap allowing you to walk around wearing it & if you register it, you get a one year warranty. I really wish I’d found this heat pad 6 months ago, I would’ve saved myself some money & a lot of discomfort. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this item to anyone struggling with pain.

The pad is little side comfort I think everyone should have, I use it almost daily, after working outside on the cold all day long or when some muscle pain occurs, it helps a lot. It's also a great gift you can make. I heat in the microwave for 2- 2.5 min and it holds the hit for about an hour. I'm pleased to have it. It's great quality and it a good size. It's quite heavy (1kg) which makes it even better when it comes to Pain relief. Great price too 👍

Its good to have and easy to use and it help me alot in relieving my pain
