Provide lower back pain reliefI purchase these to wear while I'm at work. Some days my back has Extremely uncomfortable pain related to herniated disks.. I am a nurse and I work in the ICU. I do a lot of heavy lifting. I try to maintain good posture and use my coworkers to help lift heavy patience. Nurses generally have bad backs. I wear this when I'm having a bad back day. It is very soothing and it lasts for 12 hours. I keep an extra One in my locker just in case I need it. It has come in handy on more than one occasion. I don't ever want to be without these, Especially when I cannot rest on a heating pad and I need the relief. 5Great Price for 9 WrapsI imagine that the price varies regionally, but to get 9 wraps for a little over $15 is a fantastic price for our area.WHAT YOU GET-- are 3 boxes of ThermaCare heatwraps for neck. Each box contains 3 sealed wraps --so 9 in all.-- these are good for 16 hours.-- I ordered these Oct 2015 and all three boxes have an expiration date of June 2018.SUMMARYI have been using these heatwraps for years. I mean I love my reusable wrap that I purchased here on Amazon and which I can freeze or microwave, but you can't really wear it out in public whereas these ThermaCare products are discreet.I have used various ThermaCare wraps on neck, shoulders and lower back. After experimenting I found that prefer the Neck design over all of the others. And I purchased these to use on my lower back because I managed to throw it out and the heat these offer helps the muscles to relax so that I get back to normal.Why the Neck Wraps on My Back?I've tried the back wraps and they are more difficult to use. You actually wear them like a belt inside of your clothes and they shift around. They offer more heating area but I find that sticking these right over the twinging area works better for me. Probably because it's not a huge area that is spasming, just the area around L4 and L5. The Neck wrap provides enough heat for that area.There's also a financial upside to using these and that is that they are cheaper. You get three of the neck wraps in a pack versus only 2 of the larger back belts. 5Far Superior to the Icy Hot PatchI had purchased both the Icy Hot Patch and ThermaCare for lower back and shoulder areas. I thought the Icy Hot Patch would be the best. However, it proved to be worthless and I hesitated to even try the ThermaCare as I thought it was inferior to the Icy Hot Patch. Fortunately, I did try ThermaCare and I am very impressed with the results it produced. It was very effective in controlling the discomfort. Still, I was skeptical that it would not hold heat for the 8 hours advertised, but it lasted close to 10 hours. You can purchase it in an array of sizes, but they can also be used interchangeably. For example, I used the neck for my shoulder and it could have sufficed for my lower back as well or knee if needed. The Icy Hot Patch was a waste of money, but the ThermaCare patch was excellent. 5Works better than pain medication.The first time I used this years ago was when my back went out during a business trip over 4,000 miles from home. I had vicodin and ultraset that the doctor had given me "just in case". It was a two week trip and I was down on the first day. I called my doctor everyday sometimes 2-3 times a day. Nothing helped. My body was completely twisted. There was absolutely no position I could get in to relieve the pain. I kept on working and it was obvious to everyone that I was in a great deal of pain. One of my coworkers went to Walmart and bought me a box of Thermacare back. Her husband used it for his back. I finally got some relief. The pain medication did not work any way as well as this did. I sent her back to get more. I go through boxes of this every month but it is the only product that gives me relief. I rather use this than be on drugs for pain. It is a lot more expensive than pills but it really works and I have opted to use this and rest instead of pills. 5GREAT PRICE - WITH SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONDelighted that this terrific product is now a SUBSCRIBE & SAVE item. It's just the thing after a day of gardening, painting, theme-parking, or any overdoing... as well as strained muscle relief.(I also find this "neck and shoulder" size wrap fits very nicely into the small of my back... so (for me, anyway) no need to purchase two different products.) 5Last two orders, barely heating up!Not heating up to potential!!! If I buy elsewhere I get proper heat and relief! Ordering my last two orders actually had me thinking I had nerve damage, that I was not feeling the heat anymore. Which was frightening. It was actually the heat pads themselves! Two orders in a row! Very disappointed! Was so happy I found this deal, now just left very discouraged.... 1I reeally like this product if price was lower would be a 5 star productI really like this product just cannot buy or use it as often as I would like because of the price. I have nerve damage in the bottom part of my leg and I love using this product because it gives a low warm heat right where I need it which helps me keep functioning with the activities of life. I use it mostly when the pain is really unbearable and it brings the pain down. I use prescription medications but sometimes they are not enough. I can't have a day off since I am my husband's caregiver and this product helps me keep doing what I need to do. 4Packages were not sealed so they wouldn't heat up!!I bought these in May 2019 and didn't open the box for a couple of months (after the return deadline) and every package in the box was not sealed properly and had an opening at the same place on each package, therefore, NONE of them would get warm! These warm up when exposed to air and none of them were usable. I contacted Thermacare via email and they pretty much said there was nothing they could do. I will next contact Amazon. Be sure to open the box upon arrival to make sure they are all sealed properly!! 1Beware. I bought a total of 9 boxes with ...Beware. I bought a total of 9 boxes with 3 heat pads per box. I opened a box and successively tried each pad... none of them changed temp when exposed to air. I compared the pads to the same brand purchased through Walgreens, and noticed that the active element (the oval areas on the pad) in the Walgreens product was a soft powdery material, while in the pads that I purchased from this vendor the active material was hard as a rock. I am returning them all. 1Dont work. OldThey don't work right. They get HARD fast and after they turn HARD they don't work ANYMORE. There old or something NOT sure. When I buy them at the WAL-MART THEY work fine. I DON'T RECOMMEND buying them from Amazon. Go to store. 1
