Review on Moist Heat Therapy Wrap With Ties For Back, Hips, And Shoulders - Activated By Microwave. Measures 7" X 12". by Shawn Martin

I am giving the Thermalon moist heat tie wrap five stars. I needed moist heat for my hip and it delivers. As it is not a typical electric generated heating pad, I didn't have the expectations of it staying hot forever. While it does appear to lose heat before you are wanting it to, a feel of your body will tell you that's where all the heat went. Even if the wrap is no longer hot/warm to the touch, it is still maintaining the heat at the body location. So I leave it in place longer than one might if only going by how the wrap is feeling. As for the tie aspect, I wasn't sure how I'd like not having velcro. Not a problem. The tie works great and it stays in place.I followed the directions for heating the pad. I placed it on a microwave safe plate, moist side down then folded the ties on top. A minute thirty was way too hot even through my clothing so I knocked it down to a minute. I've included a photo of what it looks like on the plate in the customer photos section. Haven't had any problems with holes or things sticking together.
