How long does the heat last?

Expect roughly 20 to 30 minutes of useful warmth per heating. Reheat in the microwave when it cools.

Can I use it on my back too?

Yes. The rectangle shape lies across the lower back, though it is sized mainly for neck and shoulders.

Is it safe to sleep with?

No. Remove it before sleeping, since prolonged heat on one area can irritate skin.

The filling can be chilled for cold therapy, but check the instructions first and never freeze it solid.

Wipe the cover or spot clean by hand. Do not machine wash the filled pad.

Does it come with a strap?

No. It is a drape-style pad, so it stays put best when you are reclining.

Our take on the Maxkare Microwavable Heating Pad for Neck and Shoulder, Gray, 19.3 x 15 in

The Maxkare is a microwavable, rectangle-shaped pad sized for the neck and shoulders, with a micro-plush cover and a strap-free drape design. It heats in a microwave in minutes and needs no cord or outlet, so it works on a couch, at a desk or in bed. Against electric heating pads it trades steady, adjustable heat for portability and no cord. Against weighted or clay-filled rivals it is lighter and softer, but it cools faster and cannot be worn hands-free while moving.
