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.

I liked the weight of the heating pad so it stays in place. I love the high neck and that it falls lower on the back and across the shoulders. I also.like that it comes down low enough in the front so I can feel the moist heat on my collarbones. The material is soft and smooth. I also enjoyed the scent. The box listed lavender, chamomile, lemongrass, flax seeds, millet, and mint. I didn't get a strong hint of mint. This pad is also supposed to be microwavable and freezable. The instructions say to microwave for 120 secs to start. I have a 1000 watt microwave. I microwaved it for 2.5 min. It was warm enough to last between 15 - 20 min. It was exactly what I needed.

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!!

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

Nice light fragrance, sits well on neck and shoulders stays constantly warm for about 10-15 min well worth it

Excellent value for money. Very good for pain relief.

Feels so good! Smells good. A little bigger would be perfect then. Love the weight.

PLEASE do not buy this product. I am a doctor of PT and recommended this item for a patient and after 6-7 uses, we use once a week in her PT session, the beads are all over the places and the window to return was end of Feb. A product should not have a life of not even 2 months. Very dissapointed. I am the one who handled the product to heat as recommended by directions so it was not mishandled and I cannot get a refund. Just reporting the true facts. Poor quality, in microwave on turning plate for 90seconds less than the recommended time.
