"I read all these reviews before I bought mine. Cover is soft and inside workings aren't hard."
"As a long time sufferer of chronic lower back pain (sciatica), I have been around the block a few times searching for the right treatment to manage my pain. At least with the chiropractor, one staple of therapy is the use of TENS and a heated compress on my lower back to help alleviate the muscle tension. I've long wished to have this therapy available without an appointment and the associated costs. Pros: -- Heats up quickly and evenly - I've had heading pads in the past which seem to heat up first along the coils and then radiated out over time. I also like that it doesn't heat up whatever I've lying or sitting against, so it's safe for heat-sensitive surfaces. I find it a little short and inconvenient when I'm using it on my back and I'm lying down."
"I was excited to hear about this heating pad. You can spray the microplus side with a mist of water or dampen it with a sponge so. as it the pad heats it's giving you a moist heat. I've had many heating pads in the past where. Medium isn't hot enough, while High is too hot. It's also not made of that vinyl material that most other heating pads. are made of, that always end up getting all twisted and become useless after awhile."
"I guess it's past the 90 days because Amazon won't let me link to the order when I try to get to customer service."
"We used this properly and he was lying on his stomach with the pad on his back."
"I purcahased 1 on January 8, 2017 and another 1 on April 17, 2017 so that I could have 2 in the house."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"To describe the fabric further, the top is but like a soft terry microfiber and the bottom is like a typical blue heating pad cover fabric. The cover is integrated INTO the pad. The integrated pad cover doesn't slip off while in use and ruin the shape of the plastic pad as the cover is being held on by a plastic snap pulled tight to end of the pad as the cover slips off the other side. The integrated pad cover doesn't slip off, exposing the super hot plastic which can burn the skin. This may mean washing is more of a hassle, and a risk for losing the pad sooner, but for me the softness and worry-free USE of the integrated pad cover greatly out-weighs the con of losing a pad sooner due to machine washing wear and tear. The latter option is something I have never had in a pad before and I like it as it lets me put the pad on "1" and set it at the end of my bed for keeping my toes warm all night. Though I've paid $25-30 for cruddy pads with the flimsy blue cover held on with a snap from Wal-Mart, so $36 for this awesome pad doesn't seem too shabby a deal. When you put the pad on unlimited timer it seems to waver, and not stay super hot, so people that want endless searing heat may not be happy with this. Bottom line: This is one of the better pads you can get your hands on with it's lovely integrated cover, good size and long cord. Since "cheap" pads aren't a heck of a lot less expensive, if you use your pad on any sort of regular basis I recommend this as a good upgrade. Hope this review is helpful and that you find comfort in your heating pad! Best pad I have ever had - hands down. It still heats evenly and the fuzzy cover is nice looking for an oft-used and washed pad. I do very much like it, and I have had a ton of pads. UPDATE 02/04/2017: When another shopper left a comment on my review I saw that the burgundy pad was up for about $10 off the normal price and since I use this pad so much, and prefer it so much over any other that I have used in the past - I snapped it up for a spare. When someone in the household needed a pad we gave the new one a try and they liked it the same as I love mine, as it is just as functional and comfortable as the first pad, with fast hot heat, 2hr/stay on shut-off options and the big soft washable fabric cover. UPDATE 11/28/2017: It's been awhile since I updated, but since it's finally getting cold - after a long, hot summer and early/mid autumn - and I've begun to use these pads again to warm my feet and core, instead of just for pain."
"Even though the cover isn't removable, the cord disconnects from the pad and the whole thing can be washed. A tip if you're having problems with the controller not working and displaying an "F" on the LCD: If the heating pad becomes disconnected from the power cord, the controller doesn't seem to know what to do when you plug it back in. To fix this, first make sure the pad is plugged into the cord securely."
"Originally bought this for myself, but turns out my sweet little kitten loves it too!"
"This is exactly what I need to help me manage my chronic back pain. So I'm not too sure how long it will last before it either malfunctions or burns my house down. Triggered my safety switches around the house."
"I ordered this a year ago and it worked great until the control mechanism melted."
"Turned it on today and after 5 minutes it started to melt the control panel."
"I have had this heating pad for 2 months and it has quit working and flashing an F on the control."
"That is, until the other day when I went to adjust the temperature and the controller felt hot."

Only reason had not reached my leg is I am OCD and very meticulous about hygiene and have been going to various dermatologist for past decade .

Btw, I even have 2% Naftin cream and for anyone familiar with skin fungal you know its gold standard dermatology prescribed medication."

"And when I mean severe, I mean cracking, itching, fluid oozing from between my toes, and swelling of the foot. I received this little miracle and I applied this balm twice a day all over and between my toes for about 4-6 weeks.

Find Best Price at Amazon"If I recall, "moist" and "ointment" were voted America's Least Favorite Words Of The Past 100 Years, or something like that. ANYway, I grew up surrounded by Vaseline, and A&D, and Desitin, and Eucerin, and Hydrocortisone, and my very very favorite of all (you can feel it coming, I bet) Vicks Vap-O-Rub, like a beautiful teeny jar of winter night itself. Those products of my overprotected, well-moisturized youth felt reliable and timeless to me, and when I finally acquired a boyfriend, in my 20's, I discovered that he shared my love of classic unguents, and many a cold Minnesota night the two of us went to bed liberally slathered in mentholating, virus-killing, chap-preventing goo, eventually becoming glued to each other in our sleep, smelling like a nursing home. It's not, like, numbing the way Lidocaine is...and it's not a Menthol/Camphor blend like Icy Hot and Tiger Balm...so what the heck special magical ingredient in this Neosporin can be taking away pain from a cut finger or blistered heel?!?!? If I was still with my boyfriend, we might set up some kind of spontaneous experiment, with one of us putting the Neosporin on a freshly bitten cuticle (me) and the other putting it on a patch of road rash suffered while mountain biking (him) and compare the pain relief and soothing power on different bodily regions and different amounts of nerve endings over time, because we enjoyed home science like that."
"Try not use use on small or very clean cuts as your bodies bugs will eventually build a tolerance and it will not be as effective as it needs to be."

The zips work well, it has a handy carry handle and a great couple of loops on the back to strap it to a bag etc. Big enough that I feel confident heading off for a few days camping but small enough to stuff into backpack pockets etc."

"I searched for effective scar creams and gels before i bought anything because I didnt want to waste money and came across the best two sellers: Mederma Advanced Scar Gel and Amara Organics Retinol Serum. It reduces the apperance of scars, but requires paitences because its s l o w. I had no paitence so I started using Mederma and I used both of these products at night because the skin rejuvenates at night and the product works well."
"I apply it on the scar at least 4 times a day and I will continue until I am satisfied with the results."
