Thermophore -The only excellent heating pad January 2, 2009
This is the only heating pad I have found that gets hot enought to really help if you have chronic muscle pain. I have one that I have been using for years. Inside the pad the heating wire is looped around pieces of lead and it has 3 fusible links that will melt if it overheats. That never happened but over the years the connections at these broke on my old pad - easy enough to fix if you dont mind a little soldering and sewing. I have fixed my old pad a couple of times and am still using it but just bought a new one since my daughter has started using the old one. For me this pad is better than anything and I have used them all.
Really reduces muscle pain! November 29, 2008
This is the best moist heating pad ever, and the second one I've purchased. The first one lasted over 20 years, and I literally wore it out. I chose the pad with the manual safety switch, as I had before. You have to be really careful that you don't get it too hot, or you could get a burn or blister, so the pad would not be good for a person with poor circulation or diabetes, otherwise, it is fantastic. Wonderful for muscle muscle pain. Thank you

Caution this can get hot if held for more than about 3 minutes. Works perfect for me. I like it.
Good basic heating pad April 13, 2008
This is the second pad I've owned in 20 years. Thermaphore pads just go forever. This is basic model; you press the trigger and it gets hot. It's comfortable and the manual safety switch prevents the pad from heating if you fall asleep. Not much in the way of heating controls, and no organic/microwave features. If you want those, this is not the right pad for you. My wife has back problems and this is the only pad she likes.
