Boncare® Small Heating Pad Without Auto Shut Off for Back Pain Relief & Period Cramps & Cozy Pet Comfort, 2 Temperature Settings Waterproof Vinyl Heat Pad (12"x 15", 1)

I bought this heating pad to help with a flare up in lower back pain. It gets HOT! One side is warm (with the foam insert), the other side is hot (without foam insert on this side). I like being able to choose which side I want to use based on how warm I want the heat to be. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now and it noticeably helps to ease my tight muscles in lower back. If you read about heat therapy for back pain, it’s actually really good for breaking the pain and tightness cycle in non-acute injuries (you don’t want to use heat immediately after an injury on the first 2-3 days). Obviously consult with your physician for personalized recommendations. But for me, this has become a solid part of my back pain relief regimen. The size is great because it’s not too small and not too big, perfect for targeting a lot of heat to go to a small to moderate sized area. So far the quality seems good, still works great 2 weeks in. You absolutely cannot beat the price. I’ve already gotten $15 of use out of it in 2 weeks, so if it did break, I wouldn’t even be mad for how low the price is. I’m going to order a second one to keep at my work. No strange smell. There also isn’t a timer, it stays on, and the heat is strong and consistent on the high setting. The directions do say you’re not supposed to lay on it, but I do and haven’t had any problems. I just wouldn’t fall asleep with it on. Overall, a fantastic buy.

Two settings, both gets good heat, so I run the low while I sleep. I like the snap button that holds cover, simple but works good, unlike some other pads I have used before. And you can’t beat the price, having bought heating pads for over 20 years! The cord is not as long as other brands but I like that feature because I am usually pushing all the extra cord back.

Does the job, but also it can get a too hot if left on too long. If anything is folded in on itself, it can melt even on the lowest setting.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have a bad back and after trying a couple of fancy heating pads that died quickly, I decided to go basic. This one WORKS and FAIR WARNING: even on the low setting, it cooks! It has NO OFF TIMER so if you're afraid you'll fall asleep while using it, get an outlet timer! This thing will BBQ you if you pass out while using it, but it does the job.

I bought this heating pad to help keep some young kittens warm, and it’s working beautifully. The pad heats up quickly and maintains a nice, steady temperature that’s gentle but effective , perfect for fragile little animals who need extra warmth. I appreciate that it’s easy to clean and has safety features that make me feel comfortable using it around the kittens. Overall, it’s reliable, well-made, and has given me peace of mind knowing the babies are cozy and safe. Highly recommend for pet owners!

Very good, it stays on unlike most other heating pads. I use them for kittens and other small animals that need constant heat, the low setting worked well. The material was soft as well.

I love a heating pad, but this one is too hot. I will have to get another. It is dangerous if you fall asleep with it on, which I do, even on the low setting.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Recommended , works great for muscle aches
