Can I use homedics shiatsu massaging cushions in Cars? I understand they work by plugging into an ac adapter, however, is there a car adapter that I can buy that will let me use this cushion in the car?

yeah, you can buy an inverter. an inverter turns the 12volts DC from your car into 120volts AC(the same as a normal house outlet). here's an example of an inverter: Xantrex Technologies 851-0178 XPower 175-Watt Micro Inverter just make sure that the inverter is strong enough to power the cushion (look at the WATT rating)

Hi, simply patch the pads on your back or anywhere you feel pain and connect the pads to the Massager using the connectors provided. Hope this helps. iCommerce

Not really. A pressure bladder squeezes the feet to apply pressure, and shiatsu rollers knead the bottoms and sides of the feet. It's the best foot massager we have used. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my wife, and her and my kids use it multiple times per day. Great product.I would be nervous to get a roller-type massager for the tops of my feet, since they are so sensitive with delicate bones! But no, it doesn't really get the tops, other than the squeeze and release action of the bladder.

It does; however, I don't recommend use if it in the car while you are driving. Doesn't work so well then. And I do have to put a towel between it and my back as there isn't much cushion over the massagers

I really did like it too! I bought the Kendall Shiatsu leg massager and have been satisfied with it. A lot of stress was in my calves and it actually helped more!

Even on "light" the shiatsu massage is pretty strong. The first time I used it, the bottoms of my feet were a little sore the next morning -- but I've found if I don't press down on my heels when I'm using it, it's perfect. I love my Shiatsu Foot Massager and use it almost nightly.

Comes with a cord to plug into a cigarette lighter. To use on house electric you must purchase adapter: Wagan 5 Amp AC to 12V DC Power Adapter. I recommend getting a cushion that comes with both adapters; Comfort Products 60-2802MR05 Massage Lumbar Cushion with Heat, Black

Can be used for lower back when sitting in a chair and it must be plugged in to electrical outlet. Have never tried using when lying down. Just recently saw that HoMedics offers a similar Shiatsu that would fit an office chair and/or possibly use lying down, which I would have preferred.

I have used on calves, it is not the most comfy item for this, for your situation I would recommend you can search it: Kneading Portable Massage Cushion - Shiatsu-Style Massage for On-The-Go by Prospera you can even use in a vehicle or HoMedics PA-MH Therapist Select® Compact Percussion Massager

Found the Homedics Ultra Plush Shiatsu Massage Pillow works best for what you mentioned. You could buy four massage pillows for the price of the kneading massager. Love the massage pillow and it works best for lying in bed using it. I keep mine on the bed and start the day using it and end the day using it. Sometimes it even puts me to sleep. I highly recommend the massage pillow over the more expensive, rougher, heavy kneading massager.

Yes, you can just use the heat or the massage feature by itself, or you can use the two together. I actually liked the cushion. I found it very comfortable but I returned it because the massage feature was too loud.

Yes, and there is a lighter adaptor for the car so you can use it when travelling! I have chronic back issues and this massager is the absolute best . . .I recommend it to anyone who needs any at-home massage tool.

I only use in cars so you may have to try it and return if doesn't work for you. Really love mine.

I haven't tried the other one, but this one can make you feel bruised you if you lean against it too hard. I control the pressure by adjusting my posture. I have read of others using other pillows around it to support you so that your full weight isn't against just the shiatsu pillow. Because it's smaller than one of the "chair-sized" massagers, it's easy to make adjustments as needed.

Didn't find the product effective. Similar to an Ace lumbar wrap. If you are still interested, contact the maker. Believe his name is available on Amazon. You might look into a Therasage healing belt which I used for awhile. Now I've gone to a belt with magnets. It may be helping. Have you tried a chiropractor and a certified massage therapist. I'm really liking the Spoonk mat which I park at the back of a straight back chair and lean against the prickly spikes which simulate acupressure. You might also like the Nayoya (sp) which is less prickly. Good luck.

no, you need the neck massager, its a separate unit; HoMedics NMS-350 Shiatsu Neck Massager with Vibration and Heat

Not that I'm aware of, but I drive Jeeps for a living, using them to pull lawncare trailers in the summer and do snowplowing in the winter. So, I can't say I've ever thought about plugging that massager into a Jeep. However, I do use it after I'm done driving and working in and out of my Jeeps and it works really well in your house or apartment!
