HealthSmart TheraBeads Portable Microwavable Moist Heating Pad Mitt with Washable Cover for Carpel Tunnel and Arthritis Pain in Hand and Fingers, 8 x 12

This mitt works very well, however don't expect more than about 10 minutes of useable heat as it seems to cool down relatively fast, but that is probably just enough anyway.I put it in our 1,100-watt microwave for 2 minutes, shake it a bit to distribute the beads, then carefully put my hand in watching for hotspots, sometimes waiting up to a minute for it to cool down a little. Then I get about 10 minutes of useable warmth. Directions say to then wait at least two hours before heating again in order to regain moisture from the air, and warn against spraying it with water or submerging it as a shortcut, but I have actually re-heated it an additional minute without dire consequences to get an additional 5 minutes or so of heat.Does a good job of completely surrounding the hand with moist heat, also can used as a regular heat pack simultaneously by placing it on either my neck or other wrist while my hand is inside, a plus. Has held up well for several weeks now and well over 100 heatings, feels like good quality fabric and stitching. If it were a little less pricey I would buy two...

This heats evenly and is long enough (on me) to cover my wrist as well. I tried several other products before this and none of them were long enough to accommodate fingertips to wrist. The only complaint I have is that the beads start gravitating to one end or another, so my fingertips don't feel like there is enough beads/warmth surrounding them (which is a main reason I purchased it). Otherwise I have to keep shifting up or down to move the beads.

Heats up well, and by adjusting the beads can get the heat directly on my sore thumb and get a close fit at the wrist. I use this at work only; use an electric wrap at home. Ingenious and effective design. Couldnt use this at home as I don't own a microwave (don't like them for cooking). I do wish the product was also rated for cooling too.

Even with an 1100 watt microwave this did not heat well. I gave it double the recommended. Ended up using a very fine mist of water to help the process. Now, this was in the winter so there was not a lot of humidity in our house. Maybe a contributing factor. The idea is great. Execution maybe not as good.

At first I was very satisfied. It does a great job of providing heat for my hand prior to doing exercises post hand surgery. My only complaint is that the heat does not last long enough ( I am supposed to apply heat for 10 minutes) and you cannot used it in the microwave for awhile after using it. I am still using it however,

As long as you are careful when removing from microwave (gets really hot), soothes discomfort of hand

Really niiice. I use this for finger joint aches. It is actually moist when you put your hand in. Instructions tell you to wait a couple hours before reheating. The third time you heat it, the moisture is way less. The heat lasts for 5-10 minutes, so I usually give it a second or third microwave zap. Don't go over 1.5 minutes in 1100watt microwave or it will get way too hot. I wish they made one for feet.

I find I have to microwave it for about 75 seconds to feel warm. Most of the heat ends up near the fingertip part of the glove. I wish most of the heat would end up near the wrist as that is where my problem is. However, it does feel good.

Después de sacar el guante del microondas (según las instrucciones), el calor se mantiene durante menos de 15 segundos. Además, el guante es muy espacioso, por lo que, a menos que tenga una mano muy grande, no estará rodeado de cerca por el calor y, por lo tanto, no será muy efectivo.

This heating pad need to microwave about 3 minutes to produce enough heat. Then, cooled down very quickly, about 10 minutes. I was disappointed its performance. If I microwaved it longer, it could only burn my skin surface but not keep warm enough though your hand. It's not worth buying. The good thing is I will get the refund.

I think this is a great item. I only have to microwave it for about a minute and a half to get enough heat to last about 15 minutes. Plenty of time to warm my hands and quell the pain of arthritis. I have purchased another one for my other hand.

Nice and comfortable gives of moist heat. Would be nice if it stayed warmer longer.

great for moist heat without the fuss! perfect for my hands after working all day
