Thermophore MaxHEAT Automatic Moist Heat Pack - Large Coverage Model #155 for Deep, Soothing Pain Relief

My relationship with aches and pains has been a long and complicated one. Sometimes it's my lower back protesting after an ambitious gardening session (which usually involves more enthusiasm than actual skill). Other times it's a stiff neck from staring at screens for too long (a modern-day occupational hazard). I've tried creams, stretches, and questionable contortions. I needed something more. Something that felt like a warm, comforting hug for my complaining muscles. That's when I found the Thermophore MaxHEAT Automatic Moist Heat Pack.I saw "Moist Heat" and "Automatic" and thought, "Does this thing generate its own spa-like steam? Does it know exactly where I hurt?" When this heating pad arrived, it felt substantial. It's not flimsy; it's got a nice weight to it, and the cover feels soft and plush. It looked less like a medical device and more like a cozy blanket that secretly possesses healing powers.Using it for the first time was a revelation. You just plug it in, lay it on the offending body part, and within moments, you feel this deep, penetrating heat. And it's moist heat, which apparently gets deeper into your muscles than dry heat. It's like a warm, soothing wave washing over your aches. My back, which was previously staging a full-blown protest, slowly began to relax and send signals of tentative peace.The automatic timer is a lifesaver. It shuts off after 25 minutes, so I don't have to worry about falling asleep and accidentally turning myself into a human烤鴨 (roast duck). It's a simple, one-touch control, even my pain-addled brain can handle it.If your muscles are tight, your joints are stiff, or you just appreciate the simple, profound comfort of deep, moist heat, this heating pad is fantastic. It's well-made, easy to use, and provides serious relief. It's become my go-to for soothing away the complaints of my body. My aches have met their match, and I'm thoroughly impressed with this warm, comforting workhorse.

My husband ordered this for me and I am so happy with it! It turns off automatically so I feel safe if I fall asleep! The button to change the amount of heat is easy to use, it’s a great quality producing high heat if you want it or you can switch to warm! It looks fresh and clean and doesn’t smell bad! It appears durable and I am so glad I have a wonderful husband to have got this for me!!!!

The only real heating pad out there. Everything else is just a warming pad. Absolutely love it. I bought two.

finally a heating pad that gets as hot as I want it to. the automatic shut off is kinda annoying tho

The best heating pad hands down!!!I have purchased 3 more as gifts!

So far, this is the best heating pad that I have ever used. It reaches an excellent level of heat on the "high" setting and it turns off automatically after 25 minutes to prevent injury. I found this heating pad by researching what a medical supply store near me was selling in the way of heating pads. The Amazon price was lower, so I purchased from them. For some reason, my prior Amazon searches for heating pads never yielded this wonderful device. Now that I have found it, I know where to go for another, if necessary. I have also recommended it to friends.

This is only the second one I’ve had to purchase an over 40 years. That wasn’t because the thermophore quit working it was because the cord wore out.. It’s probably the best moist heat pad on the market. I love it.

When the Thermaphore therapeutic moist heat pads were produced in Battle Creek by Americans, they were so reliable. They lasted for years. Now it appears that they’re made in China and I’ve had to buy pads repeatedly because they break: button to activate the heat jams, or it sparks and smells like it’s burning, or just stops heating for no apparent reason. Such malfunctions occur just after two or three months of use!! This is wholly unsatisfactory. As you can see from my Amazon purchase history, I have had to replace the pad numerous times in just the last year. Health issues necessitate my using this form of therapy but I’m now looking for a more reliable product.
