Microwavable Heating Pad with Washable Cover 13x7 Inch Flaxseed Microwave Hot Pack, Lavender Scent, Moist Warm Compress for Relaxation, Non-Electric & Portable

This microwave heating pad provides instant and targeted pain relief through heat therapy, making it ideal for soothing sore muscles, aches in the back, limbs, or abdomen, and easing menstrual cramps. The heat therapy works by improving blood circulation and helping to reduce swelling. Its dual functionality as a hot pack or a cold compress offers versatile use for various pain relief needs. The pad is crafted for a relaxing and comfortable experience, filled with a natural blend of flaxseed, millets, clay beads, lavender, and peppermint. This combination provides long-lasting moist heat and a calming, natural scent that helps reduce stress. The small size and weighted design offer a perfect balance of comfort and flexibility, and the entire pad is covered in soft, skin-friendly plush with an attached washable cover for easy maintenance and hygiene.

The outer material has a nice soft side. I like that the rice is in four separate segments so the heat stays evenly dispersed. It kept the lavender smell for several uses, but as you might expect, this fades over time. I didn't really care about the lavender, so I was fine with that. Holds heat as long as any rice bag. Overall, good quality and great for sore muscles or just staying warm!

It works alright if you want just a small amount of heat on you, it is scented but over time the scent starts smelling a little off.

A friend gave me a rice filled heating pad that she had made and I really liked it but it was a bit small. It was the first time I ever used something other than a gel pad that you heat in the microwave and those always start leaking after a year or two. I wanted to get another rice type bag - a bit bigger - and went looking on here. For the price, I was not expecting much. I thought it would be cheap, shiny, plastic "velvet" and be... well I didn't expect much but thought it would do. I opened the box and was amazed! This is wonderful, soft real velvet. It is a good size and looks expensive and "hand made". The heat really is somewhat moist, unlike gel heating pads. And I microwave longer then the directions - one minute each side. Yes, it doesn't stay warm that long - maybe 45 minutes - but I like to use it as a foot warmer at the end of the bed and it is perfect for that. Another thing I really like is that the cover is just thick and soft enough so that I don't have to wrap it in a towel or something. Yes, it has a faint odor of like lavender and mint. Not enough to be offensive or pleasant - just a little fragrance. This is one of those things that I think I will have and keep the rest of my life - and you can't say that about many products these days.

This is an ok item. I don’t like the lavender scent. I mistakenly overheated it and it smelled even worse. It does get hot.
