Good. But could be better
on February 10, 2024

My wife has used these clay packs daily for years on her lower back. They dry out after two or three years but we just get a new one. It would be better with a more substantial pouch and fastener that would stay around the waist when walking.

Pain Management
on June 4, 2021

To seek relief from muscle pain and avoid pills/winem the Carex clay THERMIPAQ HOT/COLD PAIN RELIEF WRAP is outstanding. Reusable and not tough on one's skin. Long lasing relief. BTW red wine is quite effective in providing immediate relief for over-worked muscles but not so good for one's brain cells.

Been using these for years

The instructions ARE important. Some reviewers are disappointed but I'll bet it is from heating the pad in the wrong manner. The instructions are pretty explicit and should be followed. The pads may not feel hot enough at first but the radiated heat increases after a minute or two. Double check the power rating of your microwave and follow the instructions for the proper power level.
We have used 4 different types of heating pads and now this is the only hot/cold pad we buy. We've used them cold and hot. We have worn out about 6 or 8 pads through the years but we easily get more than a year of use from each pad. But don't over-heat them.

Not for occasional use

Used the ThermiPaq two years ago for knee surgery pain. Worked OK. Put it away in it's box and didn't use again until recently when I needed it for an injury. When I took it out of the box, it had solidified into a brick and is pretty much useless. Tried heating it up and it didn't soften anywhere near enough to "conform to body part".
Great little gimmick for short term use, but doesn't store well. Better off with an electric heating pad or an ice bag. At least they are reusable over the long term.

Pleased

Occasionally I will over exert myself on long walks or stretch while I'm sleeping and wake up back pain. Instead of taking painkillers and will heat up the ThermiPaq Hot/Cold and it gives me instant relief. I've used it when necessary for many years.

I have used these cooling bags for years and needed to finally replace them. So look forward to using my new ones.

I've had back surgery and back issues for years. This clay based wrap stays cold longer than any other product out there! I would recommend it to anyone who needs a cold therapy product for joint pain.

My all time favorite ice pack
on September 23, 2020
Posted by: CD
I have used the clay ThermiPaq products for years. It holds the cold the longest of any other ice pack I have tried. My small one I have had for MANY years, just got a new large one to replace the previous one I had as it got a pin size hole in it and was leaking but it was my fault not the product. I keep them in the freezer when not in use and have never had an issue with them. I use them all the time.
