I'm a massage therapist. I like the product because it fastens under the chin. Will it be safe in my towel warmer all day (low heat)?

I think it should be ok depending on the temp. The beads are similar to a rice sock. You normally heat it in a microwave in 30 sec intervals because the heat is so high and you will get the burnt smell. I would test it first if possible in intervals before leaving for an extended time.

I have no idea. I do heat mine repeatedly in the microwave and it's holding up fine.

Would like to clear this up. This is not a product that causes 'heating or tingling or burning' of any kind. When you apply it, it will feel like the product is 'sitting' on your skin. It is done for a reason, so you don't have to use any cling wrap or any other props to make it work. Some people feel it more and some less. It's totally normal. When you put your clothes on, the areas of application will feel warmer and probably a little more sweat prone. This is just how it works. That's what we call a 'sauna' effect.

I do not but I would be concerned that the brace might cause the heat to be intensified and cause a burn. The other problem that I found is it cooled off quickly. It started off almost burning my neck and 15 minutes later, it WS cold. That might not be worth the effort. Have you tried those stick on heat patches? I find those (thera-something) last about four hours. Good luck!

I do not have an issue with this item holding in heat. It is very comfortable to sleep on. This purchase will definitely not be a waste of money. You can read all the reviews but until you experience this mattress pad for yourself only then will you understand what the rave reviews are about.

No, the hair will start to melt. I strongly suggest not to use any heat on the hair.

Do not be concerned. The friction causes the heat so be careful when you handle the exerciser.

I've use this twice with massage oil and it worked great! Temp was perfect.

I am a licenced esthetician and the unit should feel "warm", NEVER hot. If you are receiving a treatment from a professional and it IS hot, they have not been properly trained and are using it incorrectly.

as long as you put the tape on when it is clean and sweat-free, then you should be fine later along the day. At least, that's happened for me. When you take off the tape, there might be some spread out adhesive and oily substances, but the tape should be fine while you wear it.

This product is not water tight. Since it opens to hold your medical instructions, you would risk getting them wet if you wear it in the shower or while doing dishes.

I have been pleased. I let the towel heat (it's best to only put one towel in the heater; but I find when I place a second one on top for my hair, it also gets heated) for at least 10-15 minutes and when I get out of the shower it stays warm for a few minutes. It's like being at the spa!

If you want it to be warm, you can microwave it like butter. If you just want it to be melted down so you can rub into your skin or hair, all you have to do is rub it with your hands. Your body temperature will melt it pretty fast. If you want the product to be a liquid and not a solid, I would suggest storing it in a warm area in your home above 78 degrees.

Not really, I wore mine many days when it was hot and it worked great to absorb sweat, keep my helmet dry and snug.

I use mine in hanging fittings all the time, with no problems. Though I have mine in open fittings, so heat is not an issue. If you put one in an enclosed fitting you may have problems with overheating.

I have had no problems with the heat function or the massager at all. I've used it 3 cycles in a row and it works great. The heat feature is awesome!

So far it has held it's temp and maintained a balmy 104 degrees thru our most recent cold snap (Upper 30's at night, lower 50's during day). As for the massage aspect, my husband loves it. He says "the pressure of the massage" is great! (I'm a wimp, it's alittle too much bubblage for me:) We both consider it one of the best purchases we have made in a Very Long Time!!!
