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

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

the BEST

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.

I already own a Thermophore MaxHeat Pad. I Can't say enough about how great the pad that I own is. It was so good, that I reordered another one. To my surprise, when Amazon dropped it off on the front porch, I immediately noticed that it was shipped in a much smaller box that the first one I bought. When I took it out of the box and laid it next to my other one, I was very dissappointed to find they had shortened the width by two inches. The new pad is barely wide enough for a child, let alone an adult. If you are over 100 pounds, you probably won't fit on this pad if you want your whole back heated. I really don't like deceptive advertising, they said that this is the same pad as the old one, except that they were changing the box to include a picture of two people, instead of one person. Somehow in their wonderful decision making to change the advertising on the box, they also decided to take off two inches of width on the pad, but they failed to say that, or I wouldn't have bought it. They did include the dimensions in the advertising saying the pad was 14" wide, unfortunately, I made the assumption that my old pad was the same width as the new. I should have measured my old pad first to be sure of its dimensions, but I didn't do this because I trusted them when they stated in the advertising, that it was the same great pad but just an updated box. Honestly, I felt this was deceptive advertising and because of that, I question the company making this pad values now. I ended up giving it one star because the pad is awesome, but I couldn't give it five stars because of the deceptive advertising, and I liked the older version of this pad with the extra two inches. They are like most companies no-a-days, in cutting the amount of material back and increasing the prices, all for profit, with little regard for the end user. They should have made a corporate decision to come out with a smaller version of the original pad, and let the user decide if they want a larger or smaller pad, but instead they changed it under the auspices that it was the same original pad, in a new box. Bad Business!
