As women we get all kinds of aches and pains. We get backaches from lugging children around, hip and knee pain from too much walking, shoulder pain from lifting heavy items and let’s not forget…many of us get menstrual cramping. A women’s work is never done and with that comes a lot of body aches and pains.

Last month I needed a new heating pad and purchased an electric heating pad with automatic shutoff from Amazon. This particular one comes in various colors (including prints) and sizes. I got the gray color that measures 12″ by 24″ in size. It can be used for moist or dry heat. I prefer dry but when my 15 year old daughter uses it for menstrual cramps relief she likes it moist.
One of the really nice things about this heating pad is that it’s machine washable. Hang or air dry. All you need to do is detach the electrical cord from the pad and toss it into the washing machine. I washed it on the gentle cycle. No bleach and no fabric softener. Just use a mild detergent. Since the weather has been nice, I hung it outside on the clothesline to dry.
It’s very easy to operate. You can set the heat setting to the one that you prefer. There’s a timer feature that you can set to have it auto shut off or it will automatically shut off after 2 hours. It heats up fast and that attached cover feels soft against your skin. When using it, I don’t feel the heating cords or heating element inside…so it’s confortable to use. It’s light-weight and flexible, so feel free to wrap it around your arm, leg, knee, etc.
Where did I purchase it? I bought the Electric Heating Pad with Auto Shut Off from Amazon for a great price! I saw something similar at my local pharmacy store and they wanted $49.99 and it didn’t look as nice! Every home should have a heating pad because you never know when you’ll need one. Furthermore, if it has been years since you used one or bought one, it’s time to upgrade. The modern units have better safety features compared to heating pads made 10-20 years ago. Just saying!!!

This looks like a top-of-the-line heating pad. A good size to take care of all kinds of aches and pains.
I so need a new heating pad and I love the size of this one. This would also make a great gift for the holidays.
