I’m over 62 years old and still working a full-time demanding job. Let’s face it, at my age I have all kinds of aches and pains. A few months ago I started using a heating pad for pain relief. One thing that I learned is that they’re not all created equal. To be honest with you, I feel you should avoid the ones with removeable covers and ones that don’t have an auto-shutoff feature. You don’t need burns!

I was really discouraged by the quality of heating pads that I had purchased up until 2 weeks ago. I purchased a Large Auto-Shutoff Body Heating Pad that provides moist or dry heat from Amazon. It’s the best (so far) that I’ve personally tried. I love the size of it and you can disconnect it from the power source to toss into your washer for cleaning. You should be cleaning them often to keep germs at bay.
Another thing I like about it is the 2 hours auto-shutoff feature. If I fall asleep or leave my home without turning it off, it will turn itself off! There are 3 power settings – low, medium and high. I’ve found that the low and medium settings are perfect for me. Another great feature is that it heats up in 20 seconds. That’s right, 20 seconds! You don’t have to wait 10 minutes for it to warm up.
It’s flexible so you can use it all over your body. Lay it on your back or abdomen. Wrap it around your thigh, knee or upper arm. You can even drape it over the shoulder to give targeted relief. The fabrication on both sides of the heating pad is made out of a plush, super-soft material. I find myself using it several times a week.
Even if you’re not currently using a heating pad every home should have one. You never know when you’ll need one and the last thing you want to do when you’re in pain is run out trying to find one. This one is by far…the best that I’ve personally tried so far. If you’re looking for a new heating pad…give this one a try.

Heating up in only 20 seconds is very impressive. Being made of soft and comfy material that is flexible makes it so much better than the one I currently have.
I sure need a new heating pad ours is old. I love that this one has an auto shut off that is important to me.
