Does the pad size actually deliver stimulation to a larger area? Or does the size just make it easier to keep the pads on?

It actually spreads out the electro shock so yes it does cover a larger area

I never use anything but the low setting which is always sufficient for me...unfortunately I started using my old pad again because the plug connection on this pad keeps pulling off....I don't understand why this plug is on it, it's not on any others and I think it's a design flaw. the pad itself is so comfortable and soft and doesn't bunch at all..but the plug pulling off became much too much of a problem...the heat on low however was great...hope this helps

Hi, I own the larger size already and found it withstands my Tibetan Terrier's scratching and habit of pulling on it. Like most I think they could had installed a better zipper and added more stitching along the fabric and zipper. But I also want you to know that the foam is superior to any I have bought at pet stores or other internet stores. My dog has hip dysplasia and he always picks laying on this pad. I'm buying this smaller version so I can put it on top of his larger pad so he can get into his recliner more easily.

In my experience as an RN, I would want larger pads for my patients if they could turn themselves in bed. It would also depend on what type of adult diapers were being used. It wouldn't hurt to try these as they are inexpensive. If not satisfactory, you could try overlapping to widen them. I hope this helps.

After receiving your question I had to find out myself. So I connected one pad and found it does work with one but not as intense as both. I can that it to its maximum with one but not with both. Hope this helps!

When I bought mine, I was not aware that there were different sizes. I don't have my pads handy just now, but mine are about 5" x 6". too large for children, I think.

The pad is 2 inches thick and it is slightly smaller than my queen mattress. It is not a significant difference though. Ordering a larger size may be the answer if you are concerned about it being to small

It seems to help, but there are other factors affecting reception such as direction and height of the pad where you put it.

Hi, there are several sizes, make sure you are selecting the size you want. If this is your first time with this heat pad I will explain a little. The Thermophore Classic is the largest. It is different from the MAXHeat models. The classics utilize a safety switch system. You must be holding the switch continually to keep the pad heated. The pad gets VERY VERY hot. I like Hot & it's too hot for me to keep on. I keep it on my bed & lie down on it at night. The pad heats up almost instantly, this feature is fantastic. I hold the switch down a few times before going to sleep. On a rare occasion I have taped the switch to the on position but doing this can be very dangerous. The MAXHeat pads come in sizes like the classic. I have one of those also. The difference is the switch. It will turn on, then has an internal timer that cycles off then on again. I believe it's every 20 min. I have neuropathy in my feet. I put this heating pad on top of a blanket to keep it from touching my feet or skin directly. It would cause burning for sure. I recommend the 14 x 27 sizes.

It has a pad about the size of an iPhone that helps keep the strap in place but not really for comfort.

The pads get less sticky over time and are easier to use. I use mine a long time so I even wet the area where I want to apply them. I have no problems with the machine.

Not at all - no difference whatsoever. But if you get the pad, make sure you get the foam cove edging, too.

Feeling the wires was a problem I had with my two previous pads but I've never felt the wires in this one. I'm very skinny and the least little bump annoys me and can sometimes even be painful. I don't have that problem with this pad.

I found there to be no discomfort at all while sitting or driving. I have worn the medium, and now large, while seated at work for hours with no pinching, chafing, or pain of any kind. The shape of the base sits vertically between your cheeks, so it is very comfortable. Update 11/20/2014: I've had this size for a few months and absolutely love it. I have worn it at least once per week for extended time periods (4-8 hours) around the house, while running errands, at the movie theater, etc. The plug is extremely comfortable and the feeling is amazing. Using it around the house feels great, but the treat of using it in public is an awesome mental thrill as well. Cannot recommend this enough. If you are at all curious or interested, do not hesitate to purchase and use this plug at home by yourself, with your partner, or even in public for an extra naughty thrill.

The reason we chose this pad is that we bought a used wooden dressing table with drawers at a garage sale for my daughter and with it being such an odd size, this pad was one of the few I could find that fits the dimensions for the top of the table. The pad is durable and you could certainly use it as a portable changing pad on top of a desk, countertop, bed, or couch. It is a good size whereas many of the portable ones that come with a baby bag are small, cheap and flimsy. After extended use you may experience wear in the fabric/vinyl from rolling it up. If you have additional questions, I will be more than happy to assist if I can.

I don't use them. I have seen them. I bought these for my Mom. I would say NO, they are like a huge pad.
