REVIX Microwave Heating Pad for Neck and Shoulders Back, Microwavable Heated Neck Wrap Warmer with Moist Heat, Lavender Aromatherapy Hot and Cold Pack

Tension Relief in a Cozy, Scented Wrap As I’ve gotten older, I often wake up with a stiff neck or tight shoulders (maybe from the odd angles I sleep in or the DIY projects I tackle). This REVIX microwave heating pad has become my go-to remedy for those aches and pains. It’s essentially a U-shaped wrap filled with some kind of weighted clay beads or flaxseed, plus dried lavender. To use it, I pop it in the microwave – about 2 minutes in my 1000W microwave gets it plenty warm. It comes out nice and toasty, and I carefully drape it around my neck and shoulders. The shape is perfect: it sits across the shoulders and high up on the neck, almost like a warm shawl. It has a bit of weight (which I find comforting, almost like those weighted therapy wraps) that helps it press gently against sore spots. The heat penetration is wonderful and lasts a good while. I easily get 15-20 minutes of soothing warmth before it starts to cool down. If I want a longer session, I’ll reheat it for 30 seconds to a minute and go again. And can I talk about the lavender aroma? The moment you heat it, you get a gentle waft of natural lavender – not overpowering or artificial, just a calming scent. I was a bit skeptical about aromatherapy, but I have to say, it really adds to the relaxation. I’ll often use this in the evening while watching TV; it loosens up my muscles and the scent makes me feel like I’m at a spa. Sometimes I even drape it over my lap or knees if they’re achy from a long day – it’s versatile enough to use on any part of the body (though it’s clearly designed for neck/shoulders). One incident really proved its worth: I helped my son move furniture one weekend and woke up the next day with a kink in my neck that made it hard to turn my head. I heated up this pad and wore it while having my morning coffee. The combination of moist heat (it provides a slight moist heat effect which I think comes from the natural fillers) and the weight really helped loosen that knot. Within 20 minutes I had improved mobility and significantly less pain – much better than just popping a painkiller and waiting. I like that it provides drug-free relief and is reusable endlessly. The construction of the pad is high quality. It has a soft plush fabric on one side and a silky cotton on the other. I usually put the plush side against my skin – it’s incredibly soft. The stitching is solid; even after dozens of uses, none of the filler has leaked and it still feels evenly distributed. Do make sure to follow the heating instructions – the first time I used it, I overheated slightly (went past the recommended time) and it was almost too hot to handle. Now I stick to the guidelines and it’s perfect. As a safety habit, I always let it sit for a minute after microwaving to let any hot spots even out. Also, if you’re sensitive to scents, the lavender is noticeable but I personally find it pleasant and not perfumey. My wife, who is very sensitive to smells, actually commented that it’s a nice, natural aroma and not headache-inducing at all. In sum, this heating pad has become part of my self-care routine. It’s easy to use, feels great, and helps me unwind muscle tension and stress. Whether it’s a chilly evening or I’ve got a crick in my neck, I reach for this wrap and it never disappoints.

This is a wonderful item. The lavender scent is soothing but I think it comes unscented too. I microwave for approximately 2 minutes in my 1100 watt microwave. It hold heat for at least 30 minutes. NOTE: depending upon your microwave and your skins tolerance, I recommend that you follow directions. I tested the heat factor after 1 minute in my microwave. I increased the heating 30 seconds at a time. 2 minutes is fine for me but my husband prefers 1 min 30 seconds. He wraps it in a light weight towel. I use it as is. It helps in pain management, size is good for my 3x hubby. Very easy to use and store. I purchased another for a friend!!

I’m in love with this fella! It smells very nice, heats evenly and covers all the right spots at once! The heating pad seems to be of good quality and sewn together well. I definitely recommend this product. Be warned, if you are like me with a measly 700 watt microwave…. You will have to fold this thing into a ball and spend a painful 5 minutes waiting for it to heat up. It is worth the wait but I’d recommend a bigger microwave.

Works great but it’s a little hard to clean. Scents tend to cling heavily to the fabric. Also tends to leave fuzz inside of the microwave. Has a great weight and alleviates neck and shoulder pain with its weight and good heat distribution

Smell is fairly intense if you’re sensitive to strong smells but holds heat very well. Soft fabric and pretty color. Has held up over a year still

This REVIX heating pad gets 5 stars for its softness, great neck and shoulder coverage, soothing herbal scent, and heat retention to relieve muscle tightness! Great product at a very reasonable price!

works great for neck and shoulder pain. The fragrance is nice as well. Nice design

Do not purchase! I was heating the wrap in my microwave for the specified time, I smelled burning and looked inside, and it was smoking from two areas and on fire! Once I pulled it out out of the microwave, I could see the beads where they have came through the seams which were evidently loose!!!
