...the first time I decided to try one of the back wraps for comfort and pain relief was when I got home from the hospital. I am so impressed by your product! It provides just the right amount of warmth and relief. I am not tied to a "heating pad" that I used to have to constantly adjust the temperature of. I realized I could wear a heat wrap under my clothing at work... It has been warm for hours! I have never written a testimonial before, but I believe your product is worth telling others about. Thank you!"

I use ThermaCare for both upper and lower back pain and for neck and shoulders. It gives me such relief when I am really hurting... I know I can count on ThemaCare to soothe the pain and give me relief…
I am 38 years old - and all my life I have suffered from menstrual cramps - and every month I took 3 days off... my entire life schedule revolved around my menstrual cycle... I tried everything... then in Dec 2012 - on a trip to NY, my neice introduced me to Thermacare Menstrual... now I can see the light... literally... I now SWEAR by Thermacare Menstrual... I still cannot believe it worked. The 1st time I tried it, I thought it was a fluke... Thank you Thermacare Menstrual... I SWEAR BY YOUR PRODUCT and I am your #1 fan. Thanx guys. You have changed my life. Jess
I love the Thermacare heat wraps for lower back and hip because it's portable. Not only does it apply heat to my aching lower back but it penetrates and eases my pain. Sometimes I wear the wraps several times a week and what's nice is that the heat lasts long after you take off the wrap... I don't know what I would do without them... I have tried other brands that stick to your back and have had them fall off into the toilet. The design of the Thermacare heat wrap is awesome and they are the best non-medicine product to help my back pain!
My pharmacist recommended ThermaCare to me and I have used them whenever I feel any lower back pain. They are a real wonderful product that lets me be mobile and active... When I put on a ThermaCare HeatWrap the pain seems to dissapate and make my life so much better. Thanks ThermaCare!
The relief from pain this product provides deserves time out of a busy day to say, “thank you” to its manufacturer! … I use both the Lower Back & Hip wraps and the Neck, Wrist and Shoulder wraps and I am sincerely grateful for their effectiveness!
I use the neck/wrist/shoulder ones ... I sometimes need the lower back ones, as well. The wraps help more often than not… Also want to thank y'all for making a great and convenient versatile product I can take any where I go.
I love using these whenever I spend a lot of time on the computer doing research. My shoulder and neck become sore and stiff and these help so much. I’m in love!!
I have been a server for 20 yrs and it has taken a toll on my back and hips. Thermacare has allowed me … to keep working.
Sometimes my back starts hurting…. Thank God for ThermaCare because it helps keep the pain away and I can go to work and function all day. I use all of their products even the one's for my menstrual cramps which saves my life each month.

ThermaCare HeatWraps have enabled me to maintain somewhat of the normal active life I had. I played sports, hunted and enjoyed hiking. Now with your product I wear them… after hiking and still play some sports but not without the ThermaCare wrap immediately afterwards. Thank you for such a great product that allows me to keep doing some of the things I always enjoyed so much.
I was having neck pain all day the other day. I thought it was a tension headache, but nothing worked on it. I bought ThermaCare Neck HeatWraps, and they worked wonderfully! After two hours, my neck wasn’t hurting and isn’t hurting now. Thanks ThermaCare!
I have arthritis in both my shoulders. I live in Colorado, and every time the weather changes, I am in pain. Unfortunately, I am also allergic to painkillers, so for the longest time, I just had to suffer. Then I discovered ThermaCare HeatWraps. The constant heat to my shoulders relieves my pain and lets me live my life how I want to. I no longer have to limit my outdoor activities, especially in winter. ThermaCare HeatWraps provide my only relief. I don't know what I would do without them.
I do highway and land surveying and we do a lot of work involving cutting through brush and briars and such. When this happens, muscles tend to get really sore; ThermaCare HeatWraps help relieve the tightness and soreness.
I have an 18-year-old son and a 14-year-old step daughter. My husband and I are always on the go to their sporting events. Having arthritis was making it very hard for me to enjoy going. I tried ThermaCare and fell in love with it. I can go and watch my kids with no pain.
I have arthritis; your product has been a lifesaver. I can’t believe how long it stays warm and I am able to get more done. Again, thank you so much for a wonderful product. It’s nice to have a product that actually does what it claims to do.

I love the Menstrual relief [HeatWraps]! They make me feel like any other normal day—if not even better. They are the best thing you guys could have made. I recommend them to every one of my girlfriends now. They have now gotten hooked on them too! I just wanted to say thank you to you guys for being there for me every time of the month! :)
