ThermaCare Air-Activated Neck to Arm Heatwraps, 3-Count Boxes  — 

Quick View: I have bulging discs in my neck and, when they flare up, I am in a lot of pain. Heat helps the pain and I have found ThermaCare Air-Activated Neck to Arm Heatwraps to be long lasting and effective at heating my neck area for hours.

About ThermaCare Air-Activated Neck to Arm Heatwraps

These wraps come three to a box and are air activated. When you open the package, the pad starts to heat up. They have little discs inside that work with your body heat and really get warm. They can take anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes to be fully heated but I find they are warm the minute I apply them. They are made for the neck/arm area and adhere with self adhesive that stays put for hours. The heat will last for about six hours on me, longer on other people. Because the pads are thin, no one knows I am wearing one unless my shirt is low cut in the back. I generally wear the pads at home and don't care who sees them. These really work. It is like having a cordless heating pad affixed to the painful area. They loosen my neck, relieve my pain, and stave off headaches I get when my neck is out of whack. They are a little bit pricey but well worth it in pain relief. When you are done, just remove them as you would a bandage and toss out. They are one use pads.

My Viewpoint

When my neck hurts, everyone suffers. I really can get grouchy when that pain hits.ThermaCare Air-Activated Neck to Arm Heatwraps help to relieve my pain and to stop the associated headaches I get when my neck flares up. They also have back pads in large and small for those with back pain and they are great as well. I have used those with success. These pads sell for around $7.00-$8.00 a box, but can be found cheaper on sale (when I stock up). I give them 5 stars. They relieve my nagging pain with no medication, no scent, and no hassles.
