Hyperice Venom Go - Advanced Heat + Vibration Wearable (Venom Go) - FSA and HSA

I started a job where I was constantly on my feet 9 - 10 hours a day and so not used to that. Pulled my back out by the third day. Tried all the regular stuff, heat pads, icy hot, etc. I wanted something I could wear at work to help during shift not maintenance afterwards. This little thing is awesome. I just put the adhesive pad on my lower back where the trouble was and attach the massager. Fits undetected under my clothing except the soft vibrating noise when turned on. 3 heat settings and 3 massage settings. Can be used in all different combinations or alone. Stays on about 10 minutes and turns off automatically. Got me through the tough times until my body adjusted. Wow, best find ever.

I love this product. I have been training martial arts for the past 17 years. I used to train 5 - 6 x a week, but as I age, I've cut it down to 2 x a week. As you get older, you need to focus a lot more on self care and recovery and this is one of the top items I use. Although I don't use it after every session, i always use it when I'm sore and/or feel like i've pulled yet another body part.The main complaint I see people have is the short battery life, which is about 30 minutes on a full charge for me at level 2 heat and constant vibration. Honestly, I understand why people would want a longer life, but I've read that it's actually not good to use heat packs or items for extended periods of time as it actually damages the skin/cells/muscles when exposed to too much heat for too long. 30 minutes is fine for me and the intermediate strength of the vibration feels better than I would expect.The pads actually last long. I've been using the same 1 pad since I opened this up a year and a half ago. It's perfectly possible as well as you clean it with rubbing alcohol occasionally and only use this when you're relatively clean. I don't use it on wet or dry sweat. If I had exercised earlier in the day, I would use it only after showering but before I put on any lotions. During the day, I may use it as long as I haven't worked out. Every now and then I would rub it down with the alcohol pad. That being said, I'm not a hairy person so I don't use it on places I have access body hair, such as my legs.All in all, I would consider buying additional Venom line items due to my happiness with this item, but I would wait for a sale.

I recently purchased the Hyperice Venom Go, and it has been a game-changer for my recovery routine. This portable device is a true marvel! The combination of heat and vibration therapy provides targeted relief to sore muscles and helps alleviate tension. The compact design makes it convenient to use on-the-go, and the rechargeable battery ensures long-lasting performance.The Hyperice Venom Go is incredibly easy to use with its intuitive controls, allowing me to customize the intensity and heat levels to suit my needs. The build quality is impressive, and the materials used feel durable and high-end. I appreciate the thoughtful design, making it comfortable to wear and allowing me to continue with my daily activities while enjoying the benefits of therapeutic relief.

I really wanted to like this product because it is effective but as many reviewers have already mentioned, it doesn’t stay charged for no more than two to three minutes at most. I tried using it at work and at home after about the third time of recharging it, it stopped working completely. This product cost way too much to not hold a charge for more than two minutes.

Ease of use, quiet and looks durable. Adjusts to heat required nicely. Definitely worth the price.

Works on any part of your body to help relieve aches and pains

As someone who has sore shoulders/back due to a full day of working at a desk, I was excited to try the Hyperice Venom Go for some relief. While the heat and vibration provided some temporary comfort, the battery life of the device left me feeling drained.I felt like I was constantly having to charge the device, which was almost as frustrating as my back pain. It's a shame because the heat and vibration combination did feel nice on my sore muscles, but I found myself having to cut my sessions short due to the battery dying every 30-40 minutes.The part that bothers me more is the sticky pad that you are supposed to reuse. After 3 uses, I see the borders of the pad already losing its adhesive. I don't see it lasting the 20 times Hyperice suggests it could. And at $10/pad for replacements, I can see this getting pricey really quickly.All in all, this little gadget is a decent option for temporary relief, but don't expect it to be a cure-all for your sore body. It's a bit like that friend who's always there for you, but only for a little while before they have to go charge their battery.

Not worth it, high price and minimal massage effect. Returned item. I own hyperice's hypervolt massage gun and really works well, purchase that instead
