Hotties Soothing Backwrap Microwaveable Heat Wrap For The Relief Of Lower Back Pain - Red Tartan

Great for sore backs....expandable belt for comfort also. My husband uses it mainly for heat. This is the second one we have ordered...the first one lasted over 5 years with constant use.

Love this heat wrap but I just wish the waist wrap Velcro was extended more to fit smaller waisted people. It's too big on me, but it would be perfect with a slight extension of the Velcro.

This has been great really helps warm muscle injuries. Brought this to replace a gel pack and I can honestly say this holds the heat way longer than anything I have used before. The stap holds strang and the product is well designed to fight tightly and securely on my back and legs. Very versatile warmer couldn't be without it now.

I’ve had lower back issues since a teenager and had to deal with literally dozens of these type of heat packs and this one is really revolutionarily simple! Heat the pack in the microwave, slip it into the pocket, wrap it around yourself and Velcro it tight… that’s it! No more using tea towels, elastic bandages or anything else you try to find (out of pure desperation!) to hold the pack to the affected area effectively… no more jamming the heat pack against a pillow or the sofa arm, or alternatively getting yourself into an awkward position just to get the heat where you need it. I am now using it for a rib muscle issue I have and it works perfectly. The heat pack is still pliable enough to bend around my rib area and still be held in position with full contact. The Velcro extension is a welcomed addition for the more ‘portly’ of us (myself included).

Found this very useful for helping with lower back pain and stiffness. Much better than other treatments such as painkillers or spinal manipulation.

After about a week of use, a hole appeared and started leaking out liquid.

I have an aggressive form of MS and have lesions (scarring) on my spinal chord. This gives varying degrees of back pain, stiffness and numbness, especially in the late afternoon, evening and at night. Neurological pain relief is of limited use at these times.. Having exploded two bottle shaped Hottie warmers in the microwave, which was my own fault for overheating them, I needed a replacement. Whilst searching on Amazon, I saw the back wrap and decided to give it a go. Well, apart from feeling a bit like a tortoise (which I am sure is purely psychological) I can barely cope without it. The relief I derive is exceptional. I have bought a spare pack, so one can be heating up in the microwave when the other is losing heat in the wrap. I don't know if you are supposed to, but I am wearing mine in bed. Unlike the bottle shaped Hottie, the wrap moves with you, so the benefit is constant even when turning over in bed. It is still faintly warm in the morning. For anyone suffering neurological back pain, I can strongly recommend this product. However, there are a couple of points to note: 1. The packs require very gentle heating. It is best to heat for 30 seconds, turn the pack over and carry on like this until the maximum time is reached. 2. The heat wrap pack is fairly large. I have bought a second microwave for my bedroom so I can heat up my various packs quickly if I am really unwell and spending time in bed. This microwave is slightly smaller than my kitchen one. The result is that the turntable will not turn with the pack on it. I have overcome the problem by turning the plastic corners of the pack underneath itself, so that the turntable just turns but it is a bit of a nuisance!
