Nature CreationMicrowavable Heating Pads Ultimate Set - Microwave Heating Pad for Back & Spine + Neck and Shoulders Heating Pad + Lavender Eye Mask + Sinus Relief Pad - Purple Flowers 1 Set of 4

For quality I'd give it 4 stars. I like the smell, it doesn't damage easily. You don't want to get it wet, though. For relief I'd give it 5 stars. My muscles are super tense and this seems to be a great way to get relief. I put the heating pack on them and I can feel them relaxing. However, the heat doesn't last as long. For lasting heat I'd give it 3 stars. As I mentioned before, although it lasts longer than others it still goes cold after about 6-7 minutes. For price I'd give it negative 1! The price keeps jumping all over the place. When I first purchased this, it was $79.99, but the package came up missing in transit. I got a refund because the price went up and they didn't want to send me another one. So I waited and waited after months of it being $99.99 and bought it when it finally decreased. I mean I can use the $20 elsewhere. When I moved, my mom ended up needing it more than I so I gave it to her. So here I am trying to replace it and now it's almost twice as much at $139.99!!! Crazy. I guess I'll have to let it sit in the cart until the price goes down because that's just over the top ridiculous!

This is my third set of Nature Creation packs I've bought online as gifts. While not as fragrant or guaranteed five years as earlier products (in-store seasonal kiosks), these still pack a punch and will last two years. In fact, after being unpacked, the Valerian (smells of rotting/smelly stuff) was pungent and didn't clear until after airing the product out for a few days. After that, the lavender , rosemary and other herbs dominated. The Ultimate is my preference for the greater coverage of the shoulder and back. One downside of ordering online is no choice in the fabric patterns/colors (third order was a dull messy black instead of previous bright vibrant patterns). I've gotten around that by making new fabric covers but would still like a choice of cool or warm colors on ordering. The heat lasts about 20 min. It has helped many times for quicker recovery from a pulled/aching muscle. Usually reheat it 2-3 times per session. Just have to be careful to wrap the velcro inside to avoid accidental microwave melting. To keep everything clean on the heating stage, another clean towel bundles the whole thing. It is safer to heat a little less at first to gauge what's best from your microwave for timing. Prices online are seasonal (high and low).

What a great this is. I have had a larger version of the neck wrap by this same company that I bought at the State Fair close to 20 years ago and the herbs are still going strong. I have kept it in a gallon freezer bag to keep the herbs from losing potency which has obviously helped. I have used that neck wrap to death but now I can't find it. It has to say something that given a choice of so many brands to choose a replacement from that I chose to stay with Nature Creation. While I have never used this product cold yet I can tell you that there is nothing like the warmth and aroma of this product to make you feel better.

This is the second set of therapy packs I have purchased, as I wore the first set out. I only use the large packs- after 2x week back treatments, however, the small ones stay cool and smell great. I was surprised that the current price is the same as an August 2016 lightening deal. Unless used frequently, the price may seem high. The packs do not freeze and the cloth is comfortable on bare skin. Turn the pack over for continued use after first side warms up.

Set comes nicley packaged. Scent is subtle. Seems to take a long time to heat up and doesn't last as long as other microwavable packs I've had. Was disappointed in the size of the back wrap. It's pretty small. That said, believe this is the same product my PT is using which is why I ordered it.

I am very upset and disappointed. The shoulder part doesn't even go over your shoulder more than 3 inches. Shoulder part not comfortable the neck pillow is ok. Takes double what the mins to warmAlso, does not stay hot. I haven't tries the eye part. The back part does work but doesn't stay warm.

Very good so far - We wanted to replace one pad (shoulder) from the same company that we used for several years. Very good deal on this set! We already have used all the pads in this set and each have a soothing effect. I have back problems and the spine relief pad is designed to stay in place with two straps (same with the shoulder pad that remains around the neck).

I do like the neck and shoulder pad, but it is much smaller than I thought it would be and it doesn't cover as large of an area on the shoulder blades as I would like. I'm not sure about the other items I received because my wife and I have not tried them yet, but I would like it better if the back and spine pad was wider also. I would also like it a little more if there was a coverage on the back and side of the neck. I am a bit disappointed with this product for the price paid.
